PSC Category 1385 encompasses Surface Use Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Tools and Equipment, focusing on specialized technologies and systems used for detecting, handling, and neutralizing explosive devices. These products include disruptors, remote firing devices, EOD robot systems, bomb suits, radiological detection equipment, and other critical tools used by law enforcement, military, and emergency response teams. The equipment is designed to enhance safety and effectiveness in high-risk explosive scenarios, supporting training, certification, and operational capabilities of bomb technicians and specialized units.

Federal Contract Awards under this PSC category demonstrate a consistent pattern of procurement by multiple federal agencies, including the Department of Justice (particularly the FBI), Department of Defense, Department of State, and various military branches. Contract values range from relatively small purchases around $10,000 to substantial procurements exceeding $6 million, with typical durations spanning several months to two years. Frequently awarded entities include small businesses and veteran-owned companies such as Cherry Engineering, Tactical Electronics And Military Supply, Sericore LLC, and Inert Products LLC. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders, with approximately 40% designated as total small business set-asides. Performance locations are predominantly within the United States, with some international support for foreign law enforcement training.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities in this category primarily involve specialized EOD equipment procurement, with solicitations from agencies like the Defense Logistics Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The opportunities seek brand-specific equipment such as Alford Technologies EOD tools, SUGV Chassis systems, and Demolition System Remote and Time (DSRT) Kits. Most solicitations are set aside for small businesses, emphasizing technical specificity and targeted procurement of highly specialized equipment. Typical requirements include detailed technical specifications, authorized distributor status, and compliance with military packaging and identification standards. Performance locations are generally domestic, with delivery destinations including military bases, training facilities, and distribution centers across the United States.
