Surefire, LLC

Surefire, LLC, a for-profit manufacturer of tactical illumination equipment, suppressors, and weapons accessories based in Fountain Valley, California, operates as a prime contractor on 96% of its federal awards, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside restrictions, though it holds Total Small Business set-aside designations on a small subset of orders.

Surefire's capability portfolio centers on weapon-mounted lights, flash suppressors, sound suppressors, and related tactical accessories for law enforcement and military end-use. Representative recent work includes a $21,280 Total Small Business purchase order from the U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group (September 2026) for Surefire Compact Weapon Lights supporting fugitive apprehension operations; a $266,266 firm fixed-price delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2022) for flash suppressors; a $210,445 delivery order from the Air Force (February 2022) for flash suppressors; and a $31,674 Total Small Business purchase order from Air Education and Training Command (April 2024) for 61 Surefire Scout Lights. Across recent years, awards have ranged from sub-$2,000 purchase orders to multi-hundred-thousand-dollar delivery orders, with firm fixed-price pricing standard across the portfolio.

Surefire's customer base concentrates heavily in defense, with the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command accounting for 52 awards worth $52.6 million combined potential value, and the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command placing 23 awards worth $20.3 million. The top five customer agencies by potential value (Naval Sea Systems Command, Air Force Air Mobility Command, Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, Navy, and United States Special Operations Command) cover approximately 75% of the vendor's combined potential value across 413 total awards. Law enforcement agencies including the U.S. Marshals Service and Drug Enforcement Administration comprise a secondary customer tier, with smaller order volumes but consistent repeat purchasing across regional districts and operational divisions.

Surefire's parent vehicles are predominantly indefinite-delivery contracts under Navy administration: Indefinite Delivery Contract N0016411DJN19 carries 28 task orders worth $22 million combined potential value; Contract N0010405DL013 holds 19 task orders valued at $761 thousand; and Contract N0016410DJN66 carries 8 task orders worth $5.1 million. The vendor also holds position on Special Operations Equipment - Tailored Logistics Support with 14 task orders.

Recent activity shows 22 awards in 2024 and declining volume in 2025–2026 (two and three awards respectively), likely reflecting the maturity and completion of multi-year delivery orders rather than new vehicle entry. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months is minimal, with only three awards (combined potential value $47 thousand) completing in that window. In its small subcontractor footprint, Surefire supplies weapon lights and suppressors to Atlantic Diving Supply as a sub-vendor on recurring purchase orders (eighteen sub-awards documented from February 2024 through January 2025), primarily for specialized tactical lighting products including X300 Ultra Weapon Lights, Scout Lights, and suppressor retainers.

Across category distribution, Surefire's awards concentrate in Other Lighting Equipment Manufacturing (90 awards) and Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing (59 awards) at the NAICS level, with corresponding PSC concentration in Electric Portable and Hand Lighting Equipment (91 awards) and Miscellaneous Weapons (50 awards). Combined obligated dollars total $51.8 million against $117.5 million combined potential value, reflecting the typical lag between award ceiling and invoiced expenditure in equipment-supply contracts.
