What Global Ordnance does

Global Ordnance (GO) is a privately held, Veteran Owned Small Business headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, with a dedicated MIL/LE Sales Headquarters in Tampa. Founded in 2013, the company operates as a prime defense system integrator rather than a manufacturer of proprietary core technology, consolidating fragmented procurement of US-standard and non-standard ammunition, weapons, vehicles, body armor, and tactical equipment for the U.S. Government and allied armed forces. Its value proposition rests on three core competencies: Sourcing (multi-country ISO9001-certified supplier network spanning 6+ countries for vehicles and equipment, with the ability to deliver both NATO and Soviet-era ammunition and weapons), Logistics (international and domestic air, ground, and sea delivery with customs and import/export regulatory compliance), and Program Management (schedule, budget, risk, performance, quality, and life cycle management). The company reports having managed the supply and delivery of more than $500M of weapons, ammunition, and platforms to the U.S. Government and allies worldwide.

Global Ordnance monetizes primarily through long-cycle defense contracts as a system integrator, supplemented by a publicly disclosed USG Pricing Catalog that lists unit pricing across 9 equipment categories (Foreign Military Sales optical equipment, FMS accessories, individual support, maritime expeditionary, shipboard support, airborne/aeronautical, electronic/support, ground expeditionary, ground mobility, and communications) and resells third-party brands including Royal Arms (EOD and breaching), ALS (less-lethal munitions), Applied Fiber Concepts (body armor), Path Guard (decontamination), Format Tresorbau (safes), and Cecilia Couture and PremiumEStore (PPE). Proprietary branded offerings include the Onyx Armor line of NIJ 0101.06 certified ballistic systems (Levels II through IV) and armored vehicles meeting CEN 1522/23 FB7 / NIJ Level IV specifications. In October 2025 the company announced a strategic defense partnership with Draganfly Inc. to bring unmanned aerial systems into its portfolio and showcased alongside Draganfly at AUSA 2025, signaling an expansion into mission-critical UAS alongside its legacy hardware business. Customer segments are primarily the U.S. Government and U.S. Military, allied Foreign Military Sales buyers, U.S. Law Enforcement, and defense prime contractors, with a smaller healthcare and first-responder PPE line.
