Product Service Code (PSC) Category 13-P, Ammunition and Explosives, encompasses a broad range of military-grade explosive materials, components, and related systems. This category includes cartridges, rocket motors, propellant actuated devices, detonation components, and specialized explosive ordnance used across various military platforms. The items are critical for national defense, supporting applications in aircraft, naval vessels, ground combat systems, and specialized military equipment. Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate a consistent focus on precision manufacturing of explosive components for military systems. The awards typically range from $50,000 to several million dollars, with contract durations spanning one to five years. Frequent awardees include specialized defense manufacturers such as Nammo Defense Systems, Chemring Energetic Devices, Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense, and Rockwell Collins. Most awards are made through the Department of Defense and Naval Supply Systems Command, with a mix of small business set-asides and unrestricted competitions. Performance locations are predominantly at contractor manufacturing facilities across the United States, with delivery destinations including military bases, naval installations, and defense logistics centers. Recent Federal Contract Opportunities in PSC Category 13-P reflect complex requirements for specialized explosive components and systems. Opportunities include rocket motors for F-16 canopy jettison systems, impulse cartridges for various aircraft, demolition charges, small arms ammunition, and safety and arming devices for weapon systems. Federal agencies posting these opportunities include the Department of the Navy, Department of the Air Force, Department of the Army, and Department of Veterans Affairs. The opportunities span multiple NAICS codes, predominantly in Explosives Manufacturing, with size standards typically ranging from 500 to 1,300 employees. Most opportunities require strict technical specifications, extensive quality control processes, and compliance with military standards for explosive materials and devices.
