Earlier this year, Virginia Beach-based ADS, Inc temporarily lost their Small Business designation based on a determination of the Small Business Administration. Late last month, the SBA made a final determination that ADS was indeed a small business. Furthermore, DLA has now added them to the FES TLS contract.
ADS Inc.,* Virginia Beach, Virginia (SPE8EH-20-D-0001), has been added as an awardee to the multiple award contract for fire and emergency services equipment, issued against solicitation SPE8EH-16-R-0001, and announced March 21, 2019.
I remember hearing a rumor about one of ADS’s competitors had a nice letter ready to be passed out to the industry claiming that ADS was down and out and that everyone else should line up to work with them.
Bet they are pissed now!
