About the company
Sub Aquatics, Inc., doing business as Breathing Air Systems, manufactures and supplies breathing air compressors, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) equipment, cascade air systems, and related compressed-air equipment to the federal government as a prime contractor on total small business set-aside and full-and-open purchase orders. The company is a for-profit manufacturer based in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, with a subsidiary, Safe Air Systems, Inc., structured as a Subchapter S Corporation. Sub Aquatics operates exclusively as a prime contractor—180 awards across the source data carry zero subcontract activity—and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, which characterize most of its recent federal footprint.
Sub Aquatics' concrete capability portfolio centers on Bauer breathing air equipment: compressors (VAC25-E3, VAC25H-E3, Unicus III models), fill stations, SCBA cylinders and systems, and custom cascade air trailers for specialized missions. Recent representative work includes a $132.2 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order awarded by the Ogden Air Logistics Complex (Air Force Materiel Command) in August 2025 for a custom enclosed cascade air trailer supporting the Missile Mishap Response Team at Hill Air Force Base, Utah; a $104.2 thousand total small business set-aside order from the Chemical Materials Agency in September 2024 for a Bauer VAC25-E3 compress system; and a $23.3 thousand total small business set-aside purchase order from CDC Pittsburgh in September 2026 for repair of a Bauer VTC-7K/20 breathing air compressor at the NIOSH Bruceton Campus for CBRN, SCBA, and firefighting respirator testing.
Customer concentration is fragmented across 62 distinct federal agencies, with the top five by award count accounting for 39 percent of recent awards. The Department of the Army leads by volume (22 awards, $43 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (16 awards, $146 thousand) and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (14 awards, $166 thousand). By potential value, the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard anchors the ranking (11 awards, $232 thousand), with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh (4 awards, $192 thousand), Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Naval Installations Command filling the second tier. Sub Aquatics holds 20 task orders on the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0012L, generating $80 thousand in combined potential value.
Activity volume has declined sharply from historical levels—four awards in 2020 to one award in 2026—with only one award ($23 thousand combined potential value) reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars ($4.5 million) exceed combined potential value ($2.8 million) by 159 percent, indicating that prior-year awards have realized invoicing beyond their ceiling estimates. Sub Aquatics' service posture emphasizes field repair, upgrade, and maintenance—compressor refurbishment, filter replacement, pressure-capacity upgrades, and compliance documentation—positioning the vendor as the original manufacturer's authorized service partner for Bauer equipment across military, federal civilian health, and emergency-response customers.
