Alamo Brass, LLC

Alamo Brass, LLC, a woman-owned, minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Garden Ridge, Texas, supplies specialized ammunition components—gunpowder, primers, and projectiles—to federal defense and civilian agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor operates as a sole proprietorship and holds dual SBA designations as a woman-owned small business and minority-owned business, competing primarily under total small business set-asides across its defense customer base.

Alamo Brass's federal footprint concentrates heavily on two defense customers. The Department of the Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command anchors 4 awards valued at $7.5 million combined potential value, anchored by a $7.5 million single-award BPA running through September 3, 2029 that supports ammunition components for the Joint Munitions Test Center test range on an as-needed basis. The vendor has drawn three BPA calls against this vehicle since award in September 2024, including a $7,250 call for ammunition projectiles (February 2026), a $2,970 call for 20mm 830-grain projectiles for armor acceptance testing per MIL-DTL-46027N (December 2025), and a $4,364 call for Hodgdon Accurate 4064 smokeless powder (July 2025). The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command represents the second-largest customer with 4 awards totaling $19 thousand in combined potential value under a $200 thousand single-award BPA (awarded August 2022, extending through August 2027) that sources gunpowder and primers for the 704th Test Group/OL-ACS program. Recent BPA calls against the Air Force vehicle include a $5,050 call for gunpowder (September 2024), a $5,230 call for mixed gunpowder types (May 2024), and a $5,245 call for gunpowder (November 2023). The Department of the Interior rounds out the customer set with three low-value purchase orders (ammunition purchases for Fish and Wildlife Service regions and National Park Service facilities, under $3 thousand combined).

Award activity has remained modest—three awards in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026—with combined potential value of $7.7 million concentrated in the two BPA vehicles ($7.5 million TACOM, $200 thousand Air Force). The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides across its defense customer work and holds no federal contract vehicles of its own. Alamo Brass's capability portfolio centers on specialized ammunition propellants (H4350, IMR 4350, Hodgdon 50 BMG, Hodgdon CFE Black, and Hodgdon Accurate 4064 smokeless powder), projectiles to military specification, and bulk ammunition procurement, with work classified under explosives manufacturing (NAICS 325920) and ammunition manufacturing (NAICS 3255).
