General Dynamics Ordnance And Tactical Systems, Inc.

General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of General Dynamics Corporation based in St. Petersburg, Florida, manufactures advanced tank and artillery ammunition, armor-piercing munitions, and related ordnance systems as a prime contractor to the Department of the Army, entirely under full-and-open competition with no SBA set-asides. The vendor holds a portfolio of single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts worth multi-billion dollars and operates production facilities in St. Petersburg and Marion, Illinois.

The company's capability footprint centers on 120mm kinetic energy armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot with tracer cartridges (M829A4, KE-W A1), 155mm propelling bag charges (M119A2), 120mm improved conventional munition high-explosive-tracer rounds (IM HE-T), and demilitarization and disposal of conventional and depleted uranium munitions. Recent prime awards include a $171.6 million delivery order (June 2025) for M829A4 cartridges under the M829A4 production IDC, a $133.1 million delivery order (September 2025) for M119A2 propelling charges under the $4.99 billion M119A2 indefinite delivery contract, a $254.9 million delivery order (April 2025) for 32,668 units of 120mm IM HE-T cartridges under a $727.8 million IM HE-T production IDC, a $51 million delivery order (May 2025) for kinetic energy warhead 120mm APFSDS-T cartridges, and a $1.94 billion definitive contract (May 2022) for 120mm tank training ammunition (M1002 and M865A1). On demilitarization work, the vendor holds a $218.96 million single-award IDC (awarded December 2021) for depleted uranium disposal across multiple caliber configurations, with recent task orders including $31.78 million (December 2021) and $4.05 million (January 2025) delivery orders.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Army and its subordinate commands, which account for the largest dollar share of awards. The top five customer agencies by combined potential value are PEO Ammunition ($5.91 billion across 39 awards), the broader Department of the Army ($5.08 billion across 87 awards), the Joint Munitions Command ($1.81 billion across 47 awards), Contracting Command Picatinny Arsenal ($917.2 million across 45 awards), and the United States Marine Corps ($836.9 million across 49 awards), collectively covering 93% of combined potential value. The vendor also serves the Defense Logistics Agency and United States Special Operations Command, though those agencies rank lower in dollar value.

General Dynamics holds five named Indefinite Delivery Contracts: the M829A4 120mm production IDC ($706.5 million, June 2025), the 120mm IM HE-T production IDC ($727.8 million, April 2025), the M119A2 propelling bag charge production IDIQ ($4.99 billion, September 2023), the 120mm Advanced Tungsten KE-W A1 armor-piercing IDC ($489.96 million, May 2023), and the depleted uranium demilitarization and disposal IDC ($218.96 million, December 2021). The vendor also places task orders under five numbered Indefinite Delivery Contracts in the source's top-parent-vehicles block, including IDC H9222213D0013 (111 task orders, $301.1 million), IDC M6785405D6014 (37 task orders, $329.7 million), and three others, reflecting a deep and diversified portfolio of Army ammunition and munitions platforms.

Activity has been episodic in the source's recent window—1 award in 2022, 10 in 2023, 6 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 1 year-to-date in 2026—though the vendor's cumulative footprint spans 1,776 prime awards (100% of the tracked portfolio) valued at $15.67 billion in combined potential value, with $7.47 billion obligated to date. Critically, 9 awards carrying $2.64 billion in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing a substantial recompete cliff across major production and demilitarization contracts.

General Dynamics' subcontracting network is specialized and multinational. On armor-piercing ammunition work, the vendor engages Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GMBH (Germany) for penetrators and propellant, Day & Zimmermann Lone Star LLC for percussion and electric primers, Armtec Defense Products Company for cartridge cases and adapters, and suppliers such as Conco, Inc. for ammunition canisters and Empire Products Inc. for propellant containers. On the M119A2 propelling bag contract, the vendor uses BAE Systems Ordnance Systems Inc. (Radford Army Ammunition Plant) for propellants, Yoland Corp for parachute and expelling charge assemblies, Stewarts Forest Products Inc. (an SBA HUBZone firm) for pallet assemblies, and Humphreys & Associates for Earned Value Management System consulting. On IM HE-T munitions, Nammo Raufoss AS (Norway) provides fuzes and projectile components. On depleted uranium demilitarization, Environmental & Safety Engineering Inc. (a woman-owned small business) and Waste Control Specialists LLC handle environmental and radioactive waste disposal. One sub-award appears in the source: a May 2025 sub-award to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for 120mm tank training ammunition and M1002 ammunition can refurbishment.

The vendor's award concentration by NAICS code spans fabricated metal components (290 awards in miscellaneous fabricated metal products, 220 in bolts and fasteners) and ammunition manufacturing (159 awards), with top PSC categories including vehicular structural components, hardware, and combat vehicles. This breadth reflects General Dynamics' role as a component and systems supplier across the Army's material handling and ordnance industrial base, though the narrative awards demonstrate primary focus on advanced munitions production and demilitarization for the Department of the Army.
