Zodiac Of North America, Inc.

Zodiac Of North America, Inc., operating its Milpro Division, manufactures and sells rigid hull inflatable boats (RIBs), boat components, maritime equipment, and adhesive products to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The company is foreign-owned, for-profit, and headquartered in Stevensville, Maryland. Zodiac competes full-and-open without set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Zodiac's federal work centers on purpose-built military and professional maritime equipment. The vendor's core business spans rigid hull inflatable boats ranging from compact models to large rescue and special-operations platforms, spare parts including fuel tanks, bladders, sponsons (inflatable collars), floor sections and paddle boats, boat repair kits, and adhesives and hand tools used in boat assembly and maintenance. Representative prime awards include a $4.09 million definitive contract with Naval Sea Systems Command for Hurricane Mach 1100 RIBs (June 2023), a $718.6 million delivery order under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule to the Coast Guard for three Zodiac Milpro SRR650 boats with spares and training for foreign military sales to Ecuador (September 2024), a $1.38 million delivery order with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for three Hurricane H638S RIBs under the MAS vehicle (September 2025), and a $469.7 million definitive contract with the Coast Guard for one 7.5-meter and two 4.2-meter boats for Seychelles FMS (September 2025).

Customer concentration is split between defense maritime and civilian agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 58% of awards. The Department of the Navy and its Naval Supply Systems Command lead by award count (357 and 268 awards respectively, though with only $90 thousand and $18.8 million in combined potential value), while the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard dominates by dollar value at 267 awards worth $55.6 million combined potential value. Naval Sea Systems Command ranks second in dollars with 65 awards totaling $29.1 million. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime and GSA Federal Acquisition Service round out the top five, with 186 and 194 awards respectively. The stark divergence between award count and potential value at Navy commands reflects high-volume purchase-order activity for small components alongside larger platform awards through the Coast Guard and Naval Sea Systems Command.

Zodiac holds positions on multiple GSA Federal Supply Schedules and Indefinite Delivery Contracts. The vendor places task orders against Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0056J (443 task orders, $31.2 million combined potential value), the Multiple Award Schedule (187 task orders, $44.2 million), Federal Supply Schedule GS07F3385A (97 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract N0010404DL004 with DLA (55 task orders, $10.4 million), and Federal Supply Schedule GS07F17614 (51 task orders). These vehicles anchor Zodiac's recurring supply relationships with military logistics commands and civilian agencies.

Award activity has remained stable at 50–53 awards annually over 2022–2024, declining to 34 awards in 2025 and 6 in 2026 (reflecting partial-year capture through mid-July). The vendor's total tracked award volume exceeds 2,200 prime awards over the source period. Only five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing a combined potential value of $3.5 million — minimal recompete exposure relative to the portfolio size. The combined dollars obligated across all awards ($324 million) exceeds the combined potential value ($232.2 million) by 40 percent, indicating substantial invoiced performance.

Zodiac subcontracts to foreign military sales integrators and special-operations support primes. Recent sub awards include work under Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. for 7-meter and 11-meter safety boats and FC580 aluminum RIBs (awards through December 2024), and work under Bowhead Marine Support Services, LLC for spare parts, training, and boat materials supporting FMS cases for Kuwait, Jordan, and Tunisia (awards through February 2026). Subcontract work is modest — 10 sub awards against 2,191 prime awards — and routed primarily through small-business integrators and logistics support contractors.

Zodiac's category concentration reflects the breadth of its maritime manufacturing. Boat building dominates at 695 awards, followed by ship building and repairing (234 awards). Non-boat products account for significant volume: adhesive manufacturing (197 awards), hand tools (110 awards), and miscellaneous rubber products (68 awards). By federal procurement code, small craft dominate at 992 awards, with adhesives (200 awards), miscellaneous ship and marine equipment (190 awards), hand tools (114 awards), and marine hardware (105 awards) supporting the core RIB business.
