Accurate Energetic Systems, LLC

Accurate Energetic Systems, LLC, a woman-owned small business based in McEwen, Tennessee, manufactures military-grade explosives, demolition materials, and munitions components as a prime contractor (80% of awards) and subcontractor to defense primes on Department of Defense and civilian federal contracts. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements despite its WOSB certification, though it also holds multiple total small business set-aside IDIQs with the Army's Program Executive Office Ammunition.

Accurate Energetic Systems' capability portfolio centers on TNT and PBXN-9 supplementary charges, M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mines, MK 179 and MK 180 demolition charges, TNT demolition blocks, Bangalore Torpedo demolition kits, and specialized explosives including C4, pentolite pellets, and booster assemblies. The company operates under NAICS 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing) and generates roughly 118 awards in that category with an additional 65 ammunition-manufacturing awards across its footprint. Recent prime work includes a $377.7 million delivery order (awarded January 30, 2026, ultimately completing January 29, 2027) from PEO Ammunition for TNT and PBXN-9 supplementary charges, a $49.7 million total-small-business IDIQ (awarded September 23, 2025) for 1/4-pound, 1/2-pound, and 1-pound TNT demolition blocks, a $7 million woman-owned small business IDIQ from the Army for M1A3 Bangalore Torpedo kits, and an $86.2 million Air Force IDIQ for MK 179 and MK 180 demolition charges running through May 2028.

Customer concentration is stark and lopsided toward a single buyer. PEO Ammunition commands 37 awards worth $1.03 billion combined potential value—approximately 87% of the total $1.18 billion portfolio—and dominates both award count and dollar rankings. The Department of the Air Force ranks second with seven awards totaling $99.9 million in combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Army with 15 awards worth $31.2 million. The Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Supply Systems Command Engineering Logistics Office collectively hold 40 awards but carry only $6 million in combined potential value. This concentration on PEO Ammunition, compounded by the dominance of supplementary charges and mines as core product lines, creates substantial execution and recompete risk—seven awards totaling $406.9 million in combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months, with the January 2027 completion of the $377.7 million TNT and PBXN-9 delivery order representing the largest exposure.

Accurate Energetic Systems holds several significant parent vehicles. IDC W52P1J18D0093 has generated 18 task orders; the TNT and PBXN-9 Supplementary Charges vehicle carries seven task orders worth $24.9 million; the NAVSEA Basic Ordering Agreement N0016414GJR15 supports 12 task orders totaling $4 million; and additional NAICS-keyed contracts with Naval Sea Systems Command and Air Mobility Command round out the vehicle footprint. All work is performed at the contractor's McEwen, Tennessee facility.

Accurate Energetic Systems subcontracts to defense primes on ammunition and explosives work, delivering booster pellets, high-explosive mixes, and fuze components to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (for 30MM and 20MM cartridge production), General Dynamics Ordnance & Tactical Systems (for PGU-13D/B and PGU-28A/B high-explosive incendiary cartridges), Nammo Defense Systems (for M72 and M17 LAW booster pellet delivery), and The Boeing Company (on long-lead explosives manufacturing). The company also provides explosives and minerals materials support to Triad National Security on Los Alamos National Laboratory management and operations contracts. Sub awards span 2021 through mid-2026, with recurring relationships in high-explosive and ammunition-component manufacturing.

Activity has grown significantly since 2022 (10 awards) through 2025 (22 awards), though 2026 shows only 6 awards to date in a truncated reporting window. The company has been registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and was awarded the WOSB certification documented in the source materials. Across both prime and sub work, Accurate Energetic Systems operates as a single-facility manufacturer with established production capacity for high-volume military munitions and explosives, positioning it as a critical supplier to PEO Ammunition and secondary supplier across Navy and Air Force demolition and ammunition programs.
