O F Mossberg & Sons Inc.

O F Mossberg & Sons Inc., the world's largest manufacturer of pump-action shotguns, sells Mossberg 500 and 590 series shotguns and associated spare parts kits to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on a full-and-open (no set-aside) basis, with performance primarily at its North Haven, Connecticut headquarters and increasingly at its Eagle Pass, Texas facility. The company is a for-profit manufacturer with no stated SBA designations, competing exclusively in the open market rather than under set-aside vehicles.

Mossberg's federal footprint concentrates heavily within Army small-arms procurement. The top five customer organizations account for 84% of awards by count, led by the Army's Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Life Cycle Management Command (TACOM LCMC) with 65 awards totaling $10.6 million in combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Army broadly (23 awards, $11.7 million), the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (8 awards, $11.5 million), the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (13 awards, $2.7 million), and the Program Executive Office Soldier (6 awards, $19.4 million). The rankings by potential value diverge from the award-count ranking: PEO Soldier's smaller award count (6 orders) anchors $19.4 million through a single high-value indefinite-delivery contract, while TACOM LCMC's larger count (65 orders) represents smaller, recurring replenishment purchases. Thirteen distinct federal agencies have awarded to Mossberg, including the Navy, Forest Service, and Department of Agriculture, but the Army dominates both volume and dollars.

Mossberg sits on multiple single-award indefinite-delivery contracts. The largest vehicle is the PEO Soldier contract (W56HZV10D0130 successor or related), valued at $19.056 million with an ultimate completion date of May 28, 2030, which was modified in 2025 to increase its ceiling from the original $479,187. Five delivery orders totaling approximately $12.688 million have been issued under this vehicle to date, including a $11.666 million order for Mossberg 590 shotguns (awarded September 18, 2025, completion May 20, 2026), a $9,283 order for Mossberg 590 Cruiser models with spare parts kits (awarded November 26, 2025, completion February 18, 2026), and smaller tactical-variant orders. The company also holds indefinite-delivery contracts with TACOM LCMC, including a $79,704 M500 barrel-kit contract (awarded March 26, 2026) and an $88,650 multi-year parts vehicle (awarded December 27, 2021). Mossberg's top parent vehicles by task-order volume are Army IDIQ contracts, with 22 orders under W52H0905D0135 ($1.6 million combined), 15 under W52H0905D0195 ($338 thousand), and 9 under W56HZV10D0130 ($1.3 million).

Recent activity shows concentrated growth in 2025 and 2026 after a period of lower volume: the company received three awards in 2021, four in 2022, two in 2023, eight in 2025, and two in early 2026. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $39 thousand in potential value, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor—138 of 138 total awards are prime awards with no sub-award footprint. Capability work spans Mossberg 500 and 590 models in various configurations (tactical, cruiser, 18.5-inch and 14-inch barrels), spare parts kits, and barrel assemblies. The bulk of category concentration falls under NAICS 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), accounting for 102 of 138 awards, with PSC Guns Through 30mm as the dominant procurement classification.
