THE GPS STORE, INC

THE GPS STORE, INC specializes in the procurement and delivery of advanced navigation, detection, and positioning systems for federal operations. Their core capabilities center on supplying ruggedized GPS-enabled devices, emergency beacons, and handheld radios certified for mission-critical use in austere environments. The contractor consistently provides tactical-grade equipment such as Garmin Instinct 2X Solar and D2 Air watches, ACR EPIRBs, and personal locator beacons that meet military and maritime safety standards, including MIL-STD-810 and IP68 ratings. Their technical expertise lies in integrating satellite-based positioning, emergency distress signaling, and ruggedized communications hardware into operational workflows for defense, maritime, and scientific missions. A key differentiator is their ability to rapidly source and deliver certified commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) navigation and safety systems that meet exacting government specifications without requiring custom development. The contractor maintains strong, recurring relationships with the General Services Administration and the Department of Defense, supplying mission-critical navigation and emergency response equipment under GSA Advantage and defense procurement channels. For the DoD, they deliver tactical wearables and handheld radios used by field personnel, while GSA contracts frequently involve bulk procurement of GPS devices for multi-agency use. A single award from the Department of Commerce reflects targeted support for NOAA’s oceanic observer programs, demonstrating capability in scientific and environmental monitoring applications. Their primary focus is under NAICS 334511, which encompasses the manufacturing and integration of aeronautical, nautical, and guidance instrumentation. This positions them as a specialized supplier of precision navigation and safety systems for defense, maritime, and federal operational units requiring reliable, off-the-shelf positioning technology. The company is structured as a small business (2L) based in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, with no federal certifications on record. Their market presence is defined by responsiveness to urgent procurement needs and deep familiarity with government supply chains for commercial navigation hardware.
