About the company
Kilgore Flares Company LLC, a foreign-owned manufacturer of infrared countermeasure flares and pyrotechnic aircraft survivability systems, operates as a prime contractor on full-and-open Department of Defense solicitations, holding 101 of its 103 recent awards in that posture. Headquartered in Toone, Tennessee, Kilgore Flares is a child entity of parent CHG Flares Inc. and competes exclusively outside SBA set-aside categories across NAICS codes focused on pyrotechnic and chemical product manufacturing (NAICS 325920 and 325920-related categories dominate its 103-award portfolio).
Kilgore Flares' capability footprint centers on infrared countermeasure flares for fixed-wing and rotary-wing military aircraft. The company manufactures MJU-61, MJU-61A/B, MJU-75/B, MJU-7A/B, M206, MJU-32, MJU-32A/B, MJU-38, and MJU-38A/B flare models that defend aircraft against heat-seeking missiles and support military training, testing, and operational readiness. Representative work includes a $18.5 million delivery order from the Army's Program Executive Office Ammunition (December 2025) for MJU-7A/B and M206 flares under a $189.5 million parent indefinite delivery contract running through 2025, a $16.5 million Air Force Materiel Command delivery order (August 2023) for MJU-75/B Magnesium Teflon Viton countermeasure flares supporting up to 600,000 units annually, and a $10.7 million Naval Air Systems Command delivery order (August 2023) for MJU-61 infrared countermeasures under a $225 million IDIQ expiring August 2025.
Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of the Navy and Department of the Air Force. Naval Air Systems Command leads by volume (34 awards, $577 million combined potential value) and the Army's PEO Ammunition follows with 14 awards totaling $942.8 million. However, the dollar rankings diverge sharply: the Department of the Air Force holds a $46 billion EWAAC (Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract) award issued September 2023 with completion through September 2031, which alone represents 95% of Kilgore Flares' total combined potential value across all 103 awards. Beneath that ceiling contract, Air Force Materiel Command has issued 16 awards worth $443.5 million. The Navy holds five parent IDIQs driving task-order activity: N0010420DVQ01 (11 task orders, $43.3 million), N0016407D4269 (10 task orders, $15.2 million), and N0010409DK093 (8 task orders, $35.3 million). The Army's indefinite delivery contract for M206 and MJU-7A/B flares (W15QKN08D0428) has generated 8 task orders worth $51.5 million.
Activity has declined sharply in recent years — from 7 awards in 2022 and 8 in 2023 to 2 awards in 2024 and 4 in 2025, with only 1 award in 2026 to date. Ten awards worth $67.4 million combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure. Kilgore Flares subcontracts minimally: only 2 of 103 awards are sub positions, including a January 2025 sub-award to Leidos on a Navy training lifecycle readiness contract. The company's output sits at the intersection of pyrotechnic manufacturing (PSC code 4920, 93 of 103 awards) and ordnance production, with all work performed at its Toone, Tennessee facility. As a foreign-owned prime, Kilgore Flares operates without SBA set-aside designations across its entire footprint and maintains no documented teaming arrangements or named sub-suppliers in the source material.
