About the company
Kenneth C Erickson, operating as Ground Shock Services, delivers explosives specialist consulting and instructor services to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a sole proprietor and veteran-owned small disadvantaged business. Ground Shock Services is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and veteran-owned sole proprietorship based in Huntsville, Alabama, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides — eight of twelve recent awards carry the total small business set-aside designation, with the remaining four issued without set-aside or under competitive 8(a) framing.
The vendor's entire customer footprint centers on the ATF. All twelve awards in the source span the Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with a combined potential value of $65 thousand, 100% obligated. The work consists entirely of short-term, discrete task orders for explosives specialist consulting and instructor-led training at Redstone Arsenal and Huntsville, Alabama facilities. Representative awards include a $12 thousand explosives specialist support engagement for ATF bomb technician programs (July 2023), a $10 thousand explosives specialist consulting order (April 2024), a $4 thousand contract specialist engagement for explosives specialist services (June 2024), and a $15 thousand instructor services call (April 2026).
Ground Shock Services operates under a single parent vehicle: a $500 thousand multiple-award BPA with the ATF, awarded May 15, 2023, and valid through May 14, 2028. All twelve recorded task orders are issued against this BPA (15A00023AAQA00184). Activity has grown from three awards in 2023 to six in 2024, then contracted to one in 2025 and two in 2026, suggesting either a capacity ceiling or seasonal or mission-driven ordering patterns by the ATF. No recompete cliff is present — the underlying BPA runs through May 2028, positioning the vendor for continued task-order eligibility within that window. The vendor operates as a sole prime with no subcontract footprint, delivering all work directly. Work category concentrates in PSC Support-Professional: Other, aligned with the instructor and consulting nature of the engagement.
