It started with a frustration most service members know well. Our founder was issued gear by his unit that worked fine on paper, but fell short in the field.
So in 2009, he built the alternative himself. What started as Double Tap Surplus has grown into Offbase Supply Co, a full-service tactical gear shop rooted in the same idea that launched it: you shouldn't have to choose between quality and affordability.
We hand-pick every brand and product we carry. If we wouldn't trust it ourselves, it doesn't make the shelf. That means you'll find names like Ferro Concepts, Crye Precision, Blue Force Gear, Haley Strategic, Velocity Systems, Spiritus Systems, and more. All alongside hard-to-find deals on surplus and end-of-life inventory we source directly from manufacturers and government contractors.
Whether you're building out a kit for deployment, gearing up for a range day, or just picking up everyday carry essentials, we've got something worth your time, and your money.
Virginia Beach is military country, and we take that seriously. Offbase was built to serve active duty service members, veterans, law enforcement, first responders, and the civilians who share their commitment to being prepared. We offer live inventory - no backorders, no drop shipping - because the people we serve can't afford to wait on gear.
We also work with units and agencies directly. Need a bulk quote? We've got you. Want to trade in old gear for store credit? We do that too.
Three things we promise every time you shop with us:
Live Inventory — What you see is what we have. In stock, on the shelf, ready to ship or pick up today.
Flat-Rate Shipping — $7 flat rate on US orders. Free over $150. Simple as that.
Real Selection — We don't pad our catalog with junk. Every product earns its place here.
