About the company
Austin Powder Company, a for-profit manufacturer and supplier of industrial explosives and detonation-cord accessories based in Beachwood, Ohio, sells bulk explosives, ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO) products, and detonation cord to defense and civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and does not hold set-aside certifications; all recent awards are full-and-open, unrestricted procurements.
Austin Powder's customer base concentrates heavily on defense and Army research. The top five customer agencies by award count and combined potential value account for 63% of recent awards and 96% of combined potential value, led by the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (27 awards, $892 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration (5 awards, $1.2 million), the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (9 awards, $32 thousand), and the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (8 awards, $607 thousand). The divergence between the two rankings reflects TSA's smaller award count but larger dollar concentration — TSA anchors the top-potential-value position despite placing fewer orders than ERDC or Fish and Wildlife Service.
Capability work centers on bulk explosives supply. Representative prime awards include a $39.4 thousand delivery order from the Army Corps of Engineers in August 2025 for 36,500 pounds of Austinite 15 ANFO to support ERDC's Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (delivered to Eglin Air Force Base, Florida), a $59.1 thousand delivery order from ERDC in April 2024 for 961 50-pound bags of ANFO explosive, a $50.9 thousand delivery order from ERDC in February 2024 for 41,000 pounds of Austinite 15 ANFO to Fort Johnson, and a $6 thousand purchase order from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service in August 2026 for explosives to Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge in Minnesota. Austin Powder also holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with ERDC (award date July 1, 2024, ceiling $229.8 thousand, performance through July 1, 2029) for Austinite 15 ANFO and detonation cord to support ERDC research and operational activities. The company's primary indefinite-delivery contract vehicle is W912HZ19D0003 (12 task orders, $232 thousand combined potential value).
Award volume has declined sharply in recent years — four awards in 2022, five in 2023, five in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — though the source data extend back to 1986. Combined potential value across all recent awards totals $3 million against $4.5 million obligated, indicating contract modifications and invoicing above initial ceiling values. Only one award faces recompete completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $6 thousand). Austin Powder's product footprint is dominated by bulk explosives (58 awards) and demolition materials (11 awards), with secondary offerings in miscellaneous ammunition and explosive components across 92 total prime awards.
