About the company
Custom Collagen Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Addison, Illinois, supplies professional-grade ballistic gelatin powder to the U.S. Army as a prime contractor under single-award indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs), with all twenty-four recent awards concentrated in full-and-open competitive procurements absent set-aside designations. The vendor manufactures Vyse-branded specialized gelatin products classified under NAICS 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing) and PSC 3690-P (Specialized Ammunition and Ordnance Machinery and Related Equipment).
Custom Collagen's customer base is narrow and heavily concentrated with a single agency. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (DEVCOM) accounts for nineteen of twenty-four awards and $3.4 million of the $3.5 million combined potential value across the portfolio. A four-award relationship with the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation and a single GSA Federal Acquisition Service order round out the customer set. The Army's ballistics testing and ammunition research programs at the Army Research Laboratory are the primary end use — Custom Collagen's gelatin serves as a tissue simulant for weapons and protective equipment safety evaluation.
The vendor holds two active single-award IDC vehicles with the Army. The first, awarded January 23, 2025, carries a $1.2 million ceiling through January 22, 2030, and was sole-sourced under FAR 6.302-1 citing compatibility and proprietary requirements; two delivery orders totaling $483 thousand have been issued against it as of April 2026, with the most recent order (April 27, 2026, $241 thousand) completing September 30, 2026. The second IDC, awarded April 12, 2022, with a $663 thousand ceiling expired December 31, 2022, but generated two delivery orders totaling $159 thousand before expiration. Performance location is Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, with manufacturing occurring in Addison, Illinois. The vendor's award trajectory shows intermittent activity — one award in 2020, four in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — reflecting the discrete nature of Army ammunition research procurement cycles rather than sustained growth. The combined dollars obligated across all awards total $1.5 million, representing 43% of combined potential value and indicating that not all contract ceilings have been drawn down. Custom Collagen has no subcontract footprint and operates entirely as a prime vendor in the federal space.
