Strohman Enterprise Inc.

Strohman Enterprise Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) based in Mechanicsville, Virginia, sells tactical equipment, law enforcement gear, communication devices, and Garmin satellite subscription services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on specialized defense and civilian procurements. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides and full-and-open designations, with VOSB and SDVOSB certifications valid through August 15, 2027, anchoring its set-aside posture across recent prime work.

Strohman Enterprise's capability portfolio centers on tactical holsters, body armor, flashlights, rifle-mounted optics, and satellite communication subscriptions—primarily Garmin inReach products. Representative prime awards include a $2.9 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the FBI Headquarters Division for tactical holsters and accessories (August 28, 2025 through August 27, 2030), a $506,289.39 definitive contract with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for Garmin inReach Explorer+ satellite subscription services (August 15, 2025 through August 14, 2030), and a $308,919.06 delivery order from the Department of Veterans Affairs for police body armor under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (June 12, 2023 base year plus four option years). A $249,999.99 blanket purchase agreement with Air Combat Command for Garmin inReach subscription services runs through March 20, 2030, demonstrating recurring Defense demand.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward law enforcement and civilian agencies. The Department of Justice FBI Headquarters Division dominates both award count (30 awards, $7.4 million combined potential value) and dollar concentration, reflecting Strohman's core expertise in holster procurement. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration follows (14 awards, $1.5 million), along with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 (6 awards, $610 thousand), the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command (8 awards, $513 thousand), and GSA Federal Acquisition Service (7 awards, $501 thousand). Together, the top five customers account for 52% of combined potential value. Unlike many federal contractors, Strohman shows meaningful divergence between volume and dollar ranking: DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment places 17 awards by count but carries only $113 thousand in value, whereas NOAA concentrates fewer awards ($1.5 million) into higher-dollar items.

Strohman holds a $500,000 GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract as its primary vehicle, with 97 task orders generating $4.3 million in combined potential value. The company also operates single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts: the $2.9 million FBI tactical holsters vehicle, the $250,000 Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime contract for holster sleeves (SDVOSB set-aside, January 7, 2025 through January 7, 2026), and a $500,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 for training body armor (May 14, 2026 through May 14, 2036). These vehicles position Strohman to compete on agency-specific reorders across law enforcement and DoD inventory management channels.

Activity has grown sharply from 23 awards in 2022 to a peak of 64 in 2024, though 2025 softened to 41 and 2026 remains sparse at 12 awards year-to-date. Nineteen awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.3 million, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in GSA MAS task orders and NOAA satellite subscription renewals. The company's five-year cumulative footprint spans 333 awards (321 prime, 12 sub) with $20.2 million in combined potential value, of which $15.5 million has been obligated.

In its subcontractor role, Strohman supplies specialized Garmin communication devices, diving computers, and tactical radio-GPS equipment to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. on defense logistics and special operations support work. Sub-awards are sparse (4% of total) and cluster around named Garmin product lines and communication services rather than full tactical packages. Strohman's role as a sub has grown from isolated awards in 2023 to an established line of business with Atlantic Diving through 2024.

Category concentration reflects Strohman's product mix: All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (101 awards, predominantly holster and bracket fabrication), Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (65 awards, satellite subscriptions and GPS devices), and Small Arms Ordnance and Accessories Manufacturing (40 awards, holster sleeves and tactical attachments). Leading PSC codes are Individual Equipment (36 awards), Miscellaneous Weapons (33 awards), and Navigational Instruments (26 awards). This framing—metal fabrication and communications bundled with weapons and safety gear—signals a niche vendor anchored in law enforcement supply chain integration rather than broad tactical solutions.
