The Product and Service Code (PSC) H213 covers Equipment and Materials Testing for Ammunition and Explosives, encompassing a wide range of specialized testing services and analysis for military and defense-related materials. This category includes ballistic testing, environmental testing, functional testing, and evaluative services for various explosive components, ordnance, and military equipment. The testing services are critical for ensuring the safety, reliability, and performance of complex military systems and munitions across different platforms and operational environments.

Federal Contract Awards under PSC H213 demonstrate a consistent pattern of firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders from military procurement agencies, particularly the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and U.S. Army commands. Contract values typically range from $25,000 to $942,716, with performance periods spanning several months to a year. Frequently awarded entities include Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials, General Dynamics Ordnance & Tactical Systems, Rocky Mountain Scientific Laboratory, and Nammo Perry Inc. Most awards are not set aside for specific small business categories, indicating full and open competition. Testing locations are diverse, with performance sites in California, Illinois, Maryland, and other states, focusing on specialized testing of ammunition, explosives, initiators, cartridges, and related military components.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities in this PSC category include a U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command market research solicitation for Ballistic Gelatin Powder, set aside for Woman-Owned Small Businesses, and a Sources Sought Announcement for Environmental Testing Services from the DEVCOM-Soldier Center. These opportunities request detailed testing capabilities, including compliance with military standards like MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-810H, covering comprehensive environmental and electromagnetic testing protocols. The opportunities demonstrate the federal government's ongoing need for sophisticated testing services to validate the performance and reliability of military equipment under various challenging conditions.
