Bloomberg Government Ranks ADS Among the Top 50 Federal Industry Leaders
Bloomberg Government just released their fifth annual report of the top 200 Federal Industry Leaders in 2016 and ADS, Inc. was ranked among the top 50 (49 out of 200.)
The BGOV200 report (first in a series of three reports) identifies top federal companies through unclassified contracts awarded in the previous fiscal year and breaks down their rankings by categories and contract obligations.
According to Bloomberg Government, the U.S. Government spent over $440 billion in 2015 and there were 27 companies new to the list this year. Since ADS, Inc.’s position of 56 in 2014, the company has jumped 7 spots putting it in the top 50 of the report’s 200 Federal Industry Leaders. With regards to customers, ADS, Inc. ranked highest with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) being it’s largest at $1 billion and second highest with the General Services Administration at $35.8 million in fiscal year contracts. According to the annual report, top markets in 2015 for ADS, Inc. include engines and power generation, facilities supplies and technology equipment. Donald Thomas, Head of Government Contracting Solutions Business at Bloomberg Government had this to say about the state of the government spending marketplace in 2015.
This year, top federal contractors have seen decreased contracts, enduring budget pressures, continued consolidation and unprecedented mergers and acquisitions activity.
– Donald Thomas, Head of Government Contracting Solutions Business at Bloomberg Government
The report also states, total government spending decreased from $447.6 billion to $440.8 billion – a 1.5% decrease year over year. However, with over $1.1 billion in 2015 fiscal year obligations, ADS, Inc. has continued to grow and climb the rankings. Looking forward to 2017, fiscal topline spending has not yet been approved but President Obama requested $610 billion for defense and $564 billion for non-defense. According to the report, the marketplace is expected to continue to climb which is good news for government contractors.

State-of-the-art OxyBand™ Product To Revolutionize Healing For Injured Skin and Tissue
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. March 30, 2016 – ADS, Inc. provides customized solutions to all branches of the military, first responders, law enforcement and government organizations. As a leader in the industry, ADS, Inc. seeks out manufacturers and partnerships that are on the cutting edge of technology in order to provide their customers with the best possible products to complete their missions.
Enter OxyBand™, cleared by the FDA to administer oxygen to wounds and tissue for up to 5 days directly from the dressing without a generator, tank or carrier solution. In a clinical trial conducted by the United States Army Institute for Surgical Research (USAISR), OxyBand™ significantly outperformed the standard of care for accelerating healing and reducing pain without infection.
PRESS CONTACT Mike Eyre 757-275-7971 | meyre@adsinc.gurumediadev.com
When tissues in the body are deprived of oxygen, the irreversible process of tissue death begins. For those on the front lines suffering burns, blasts and other injuries, damage can occur to tissue and blood vessels; interrupting the blood supply needed to deliver oxygen to the wound site for tissue regeneration. Thanks to this recent partnership, OxyBand™ will be on the battlefield, in the line of duty or in the wake of emergency when needed most.
In an effort to simplify and expedite the procurement process for their customers, ADS, Inc. has made OxyBand™ available on their Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) Schedule with DLA, and proofed the product to fit the scope of a variety of their other Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts. ADS, Inc. is also stocking the product to minimize the delivery time for orders.
