About Austin Powder Company
Austin Powder Company, headquartered in Beachwood, Ohio, is a specialized manufacturer and supplier of industrial explosives and explosive accessories that has established itself as a consistent federal contractor since registering with the System for Award Management in December 2002. The company provides critical explosive materials and related products to support research, testing, and operational activities across multiple federal agencies, with particular emphasis on serving defense and natural resource management entities.
Austin Powder Company has delivered a diverse portfolio of explosive products through its federal contract awards, with primary offerings including Austinite 15 ammonium nitrate/fuel oil (ANFO) explosive in both bulk and bagged formats, detonation cord in various grain specifications, and specialized explosives such as Kinestik K1S solid and K1 liquid explosives. The company's customer base has been concentrated among two primary federal agencies: the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), which has been the dominant customer accounting for the majority of contract awards, and the Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service, which has awarded smaller purchase orders for explosives supporting wildlife refuge operations in Minnesota. Contract values have ranged from approximately $132 to $59,054, with awards issued as delivery orders, purchase orders, and calls against blanket purchase agreements. All identified contracts have been firm fixed-price awards with no set-aside designations, indicating open competition. Notable deliveries include 41,000 pounds of Austinite 15 to Fort Johnson, 36,500 pounds to Eglin Air Force Base, and multiple orders to support ERDC's Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory in Vicksburg, Mississippi, with places of performance spanning multiple states including Mississippi, Florida, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Ohio.
Austin Powder Company currently holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center valued at $229,800, effective from July 1, 2024 through July 1, 2029. This BPA covers the supply of Austinite 15 ammonium nitrate/fuel oil and detonation cord to support ERDC's research, testing, and operational activities. The agreement operates without set-aside designations and provides a structured procurement mechanism for ERDC to efficiently acquire specialized explosive products as needed throughout the five-year ordering period. Task orders issued against this BPA have included calls for 36,500 pounds of Austinite 15 ANFO valued at $39,380.80 for delivery to Eglin Air Force Base, demonstrating the vehicle's active utilization in supporting the agency's mission-critical requirements.
