Equipment And Materials Testing- Weapons

PSC Category H210 covers equipment and materials testing for weapons systems. This category encompasses a wide range of testing services and equipment designed to evaluate, validate, and ensure the performance and reliability of military weapons, ordnance, and associated components. Testing activities include shock testing, hydraulic testing, calibration, repair services, and operational assessments for various weapon platforms such as torpedoes, rocket systems, and related military hardware.

Federal Contract Awards under this PSC category demonstrate a diverse range of testing services primarily commissioned by defense agencies like the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Army Contracting Command, and Department of State. Contract values range from approximately $1,200 to over $30 million, with most awards falling between $20,000 and $250,000. Frequently awarded contractors include NTS Technical Systems LLC, Testek LLC, Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Co, and S.P. Shooting Range LTD. Most contracts are firm fixed-price delivery orders or purchase orders, with no set-aside designations, allowing full and open competition. Performance locations are predominantly in Arkansas, Georgia, and various military installations across the United States.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities in this category include a small business solicitation for TRIPODS at Fort Moore, Georgia, seeking weapons equipment testing services, and a specialized paddlewheel shock testing opportunity for the Naval Undersea Warfare Center. The opportunities focus on precise, technical testing services for specific military systems, such as torpedo tube components and artillery rocket systems. Solicitations emphasize compliance with military standards like MIL-S-901D and require contractors to have specialized technical capabilities, security clearances, and the ability to perform complex testing protocols for defense-related equipment.
