EOD Gear is an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) built to operate inside the most regulated federal acquisition environments. Our company structure, quality systems, and contract vehicles are designed to support compliant awards across manufacturing, technical services, and mission-critical support—without introducing audit risk, pass-through exposure, or capability gaps.
As federal agencies adjust acquisition strategies and legacy pathways contract, SDVOSB firms with real infrastructure, documented quality systems, and security readiness are becoming the safest and most defensible partners for government buyers and primes alike.
EOD Gear exists in that space.
SDVOSB Status as a Contracting Enabler—not a Checkbox
SDVOSB status is not simply a socioeconomic designation—it is a statutory preference that allows agencies to award work with confidence when paired with operational depth and compliance maturity.
EOD Gear’s SDVOSB certification is supported by:
-
Veteran ownership with direct operational experience
-
Demonstrated execution within DoD and federal law-enforcement environments
-
Infrastructure designed for repeatable, auditable performance
This combination enables faster awards, reduced protest risk, and long-term program stability.
Compliance Stack Built for Federal Scrutiny
EOD Gear operates with a compliance-first mindset that aligns with modern federal acquisition requirements:
-
ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system
-
GSA contract vehicle access
-
CMMC 2.0–aligned cybersecurity posture
-
ITAR registered operations
-
Enhanced JPC / DD2345 approved
-
ATF FFL Type 10 & FEL Type 20 manufacturing licenses
These systems are not aspirational—they are active, integrated, and continuously maintained to support both prime and subcontract execution.
This same compliance depth is why EOD Gear consistently ranks for Berry-compliant and domestic sourcing searches, including our established Berry Compliance content and product categories that support DoD and federal procurement requirements.
Beyond Manufacturing: A Scalable Defense Company Platform
While EOD Gear is widely recognized for in-house manufacturing and rapid prototyping, our corporate structure is intentionally broader.
Our compliance framework supports:
-
Defense manufacturing and prototyping
-
Technical and advisory services
-
Program support and sustainment roles
-
Hybrid manufacturing-plus-services contracts
-
Future personnel-based and embedded support models
By leading with company-level compliance rather than a single capability, EOD Gear remains adaptable as mission needs and contract structures evolve.
Teaming with Former 8(a) and Super 8(a) Firms
As the federal marketplace shifts away from long-standing 8(a) reliance, many firms are actively seeking compliant SDVOSB partners to preserve competitiveness and reduce award friction.
EOD Gear supports:
-
Teaming agreements and joint execution models
-
Mentor-Protégé relationships
-
Manufacturing and quality execution to mitigate pass-through risk
-
SDVOSB participation that strengthens award defensibility
Our role is not to replace existing relationships—but to stabilize them under a structure agencies are increasingly comfortable awarding against.
Acquisition & Majority Ownership Pathways
EOD Gear also evaluates strategic acquisitions and majority-ownership (51%) structures where alignment exists.
This includes:
-
Succession planning for maturing small businesses
-
Retaining customer relationships and key personnel
-
Integrating acquired capabilities into an ISO-certified, SDVOSB-controlled platform
-
Preserving contract eligibility while reducing compliance overhead
These discussions are handled discreetly and strategically, with a focus on continuity—not disruption.
