The Armored Group LLC

The Armored Group LLC, a Phoenix, Arizona-based veteran-owned small business, manufactures and customizes NATO Standard STANAG 4569-compliant armored utility vehicles and protective transport solutions for federal agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards). Certified by the SBA as a Veteran-Owned Small Business (expiration April 19, 2028) and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, the company competes across both small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements, with set-aside designations present on roughly half of its prime delivery orders and BPA calls.

The Armored Group's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense and diplomatic security missions. The top five customer agencies by potential value account for 94% of the combined award portfolio, led decisively by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base (12 awards, $159.2 million combined potential value), followed by United States Special Operations Command (6 awards, $60.7 million), the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (18 awards, $48.1 million), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (20 awards, $38.6 million), and the Department of the Army (9 awards, $7.5 million). The divergence between award-count and dollar rankings reflects SOCOM's and AFLCMC's anchor of large vehicle packages against the State Department's volume of smaller-value vehicle deliveries routed through diplomatic security channels.

Capability work centers on armored sport utility vehicles, utility trucks, and specialized protective vehicles configured to meet government ballistic and tactical protection standards. Representative prime work includes a $26.4 million delivery order awarded May 1, 2026, from AFLCMC for NATO Standard STANAG 4569 Level 1 Armored Utility Vehicles serving Francis E. Warren Air Force Base with ultimate completion March 15, 2027 (Total Small Business set-aside); a $29.2 million delivery order from AFLCMC for 105 Level 1 Armored Utility Vehicles at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota (September 11, 2025, Total Small Business set-aside); and a $1.5 million SOCOM delivery order for armored Toyota Hilux B6 vehicles (September 27, 2024, full-and-open, GSA Multiple Award Schedule). State Department orders emphasize armored Chevrolet Express vans ($7.1 million BPA call, September 2022), armored Mercedes Sprinter vehicles ($6.1 million BPA call, September 2022, and $6.8 million BPA call, September 2021, both Total Small Business set-asides under Diplomatic Security), and Toyota Land Cruiser variants. Customs and Border Protection has procured ballistic armored response vehicles ($1.6 million delivery order, September 2023, full-and-open MAS).

The Armored Group holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with AFLCMC valued at $84.3 million (awarded June 12, 2023, completion June 14, 2026, Total Small Business set-aside) for up to 303 Level 1 Armored Utility Vehicles supporting aircraft and systems sustainment at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base. Multiple delivery orders have drawn against this contract since award. The vendor also places work under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (60 task orders, $84.6 million combined potential value), the State Department's Law Enforcement & Security Services vehicle (17 task orders, $48.1 million), and supplemental IDIQs including a General Services Administration Indefinite Delivery Contract GS30FCA045 (17 task orders, $6.4 million) and another vehicle at $66.8 million ceiling carrying six task orders. The company's vehicle portfolio spans NAICS classifications in motor vehicle body manufacturing (22 awards) and light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing (12 awards), with PSC coding concentrated on Passenger Motor Vehicles (57 awards) and Trucks and Truck Tractors, Wheeled (27 awards).

Activity has averaged eight awards per year over the past five years, with one award recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Thirteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $90 million and face recompete exposure. In its subcontractor role, the Armored Group supplies Big Safari vehicles and truck kits to Sierra Nevada Company, LLC across five sub-awards (most recent September 11, 2025). The company's capability footprint is concentrated on vehicle manufacturing and customization rather than service delivery; the vast majority of work flows through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and defense-specific IDIQs anchored by the AFLCMC master contract.
