General Dynamics Ordnance And Tactical Systems - Simunition Operations, Inc.

General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems - Simunition Operations, Inc., doing business as General Dynamics Ordnance & Tactical Systems Inc., is a subsidiary of General Dynamics Corporation that manufactures and delivers non-lethal training ammunition and force-on-force simulation systems to federal law enforcement and military customers as a prime contractor on full-and-open, non-set-aside delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The company competes across all 852 awards in its recent footprint without set-aside designations and is headquartered in Avon, Connecticut, with secondary operations in Artesia, New Mexico and historical performance sites in Ottawa, Ontario.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers narrowly on non-lethal simulation ammunition and related training equipment under the Simunition brand. The NAICS and PSC concentration reflects this focus: 275 awards in Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing (NAICS 325992), 346 awards in Ammunition through 30mm (PSC 1305), and 97 awards in Miscellaneous Ammunition (PSC 1310), with secondary exposure in training aids and miscellaneous weapons systems. Representative work includes a $909,627 delivery order from the Transportation Security Administration for FX 9mm marking cartridges and securiblank ammunition (September 2025), a $682,238 order from TSA for 2,150 cases of 9mm FX marking simunition (December 2023), and a $463,039 order from TSA for 9mm silent blank rounds (August 2022). The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center procurement for 9mm FX SBQ (Secure Blank Quiet) ammunition at $45,531 (February 2026) and a Naval Supply Systems Command purchase order for cartridges at $171,575 (January 2025) illustrate the vendor's reach across civilian law enforcement and defense customers. Recent delivery orders from Immigration and Customs Enforcement ($99,772 for training simunition rounds in September 2025), the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation ($58,671 for ammunition in July 2024), and the Internal Revenue Service ($101,072 for simunitions and blanks in May 2024) round out the active customer set.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Department of Homeland Security components by potential value, while Army and Special Operations Command dominate by award count. The top five customers by potential value account for 67% of combined potential value: Customs and Border Protection leads at 20 awards worth $21.9 million, followed by Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (50 awards, $5.8 million), Transportation Security Administration (17 awards, $4.4 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (17 awards, $2.6 million), and the Chief Procurement Officer (24 awards, $1.9 million). By award count, the Department of the Army (82 awards, $1.4 million), Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (50 awards, $5.8 million), and Special Operations Command (45 awards, $1.3 million) lead the field, indicating that DHS placement generates fewer but larger-value orders while Army and SOCOM place many small purchases.

The vendor holds two significant indefinite delivery contracts anchoring its federal work. A $7.5 million single-award IDC with DHS Customs and Border Protection (award date September 27, 2021, completion September 28, 2026) authorizes multiple DHS component agencies—CBP, TSA, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, and others—to place delivery orders for simunition cartridges and supplies. This vehicle generated over $5 million in delivery order activity to date across 67 orders placed under related contract vehicles. A second $750,000 single-award IDC with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (award date March 1, 2025, completion February 28, 2027) procures non-lethal training ammunition in 9mm and .223 Remington/5.56mm calibers for officer firearms training courses. The company's top parent vehicle by task order volume is the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F9606S, which accounts for 380 task orders worth $12.2 million combined potential value. Other significant vehicles include IDC TSS960037 (67 task orders) and IDC 70B06C21D00000033 (44 task orders, $7.2 million). The recompete cliff is minimal: only five awards worth $360 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, signaling stable renewal conditions across the base.

Activity has grown modestly over the past five years—eight awards in 2022, rising to sixteen in 2025, with six awards recorded through November 2026 year-to-date—generating a combined potential value of $54.5 million across all 852 prime awards, of which $42.1 million (77%) has been obligated. The vendor's federal footprint extends across 101 distinct customer agencies, reflecting broad penetration across civilian law enforcement, DHS operational components, DoD components, and federal criminal justice agencies (FBI, IRS, Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice), though dollar concentration remains with DHS law enforcement training and CBP operational requirements.
