About the company
Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Co California LLC, a Chandler, Arizona-based manufacturer of pyrotechnic and energetic material solutions, operates as a prime contractor (50% of recent awards) and subcontractor (50%) to the U.S. military for specialized ordnance components, initiators, detonators, explosive bolts, and fire extinguisher cartridges. The company is a limited liability corporation and for-profit manufacturer owned by parent entity Advanced Sterilization Products Italia S.R.L.; it competes on a full and open basis with no set-aside designations across its federal prime portfolio.
The core capability set centers on design, manufacturing, and operational acceptance testing of pyrotechnic and energetic components. Representative prime work includes a $3.85 million Igniter Torpedo Assembly contract from Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded March 2024, a $1.91 million mixed-ordnance contract from the Air Force Materiel Command's Ogden Air Logistics Complex awarded March 2025 (initiator cartridges, gas generators, and fire extinguisher cartridges for military aircraft), and a $1.587 million AGM-86 cruise missile wing deployment actuator cartridge contract from Ogden awarded April 2024. More recent definitive contracts include a $1.418 million canister actuated release bolt award from Ogden in September 2025 for F-16 components, a $949 thousand electrical cartridge delivery order from NAVSEA in September 2025, and a $651.6 thousand fire extinguisher cartridge purchase order from NAVSEA in May 2026. Testing and operational acceptance work spans MK37 ammunition fuzes, Tomahawk initiators, B-2 butterfly valve actuators, and F-22 and B-2 aircraft systems across multiple smaller purchase orders in the $100–250 thousand range.
Customer concentration is extreme and Navy-centric. NAVSEA accounts for 94 awards worth $82.5 million combined potential value, representing 72% of the portfolio by dollar value. The Air Force Materiel Command's Ogden Air Logistics Complex is the second-largest customer with 33 awards ($17.3 million), followed by Naval Air Warfare Center with 30 awards, the Missile Defense Agency with 26 awards, and Naval Strategic Systems Programs with 18 awards. Across the top five customers, 73% of all awards are concentrated. The dollars concentration is even tighter at 97%: NAVSEA and Ogden alone represent $99.8 million of the $114.5 million combined potential value.
As a subcontractor, Pacific Scientific supplies explosives manufacturing and pyrotechnic components to major defense primes. Named recent sub-award primes include Raytheon (Small Diameter Bomb detonators, cruise missile explosive cut devices, guided missile gas generators and pyrotechnic devices; 30+ sub-awards since 2022), Lockheed Martin (Trident production initiators and laser-initiated detonators; 15+ sub-awards since 2022), Boeing (F-15EX and JDAM propulsion, Ares I upper stage hardware; 25+ sub-awards since 2021), Northrop Grumman (GQM-163A target vehicle explosives manufacturing; 10+ sub-awards since 2023), General Dynamics-OTS (Hydra 70 rocket production; multiple sub-awards 2022–2025), and ATK Launch Systems (Space Launch System booster explosives manufacturing; multiple awards 2025–2026). The sub footprint demonstrates Pacific Scientific's role as a tier-one supplier of energetic materials and ordnance initiation components across the Defense Department's air, sea, and missile platforms.
Activity has expanded significantly. The vendor received 16 awards in 2022, 17 in 2023, then accelerated to 58 in 2024 and 56 in 2025, with 11 awards recorded through June 2026. Combined dollars obligated ($173.4 million) exceed combined potential value ($114.5 million) by 51%, indicating strong execution and contract modifications. However, only 8 awards ($7.3 million combined potential value) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete risk. Top contract vehicles include the Tri-Services Aircrew Escape Systems Lifecycle Management Support (13 task orders, $1.7 million), Basic Ordering Agreement N0001921G0006 with NAVSEA (11 task orders), and several indefinite-delivery contracts under Army and Air Force authorities. The award portfolio is dominated by NAICS 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing; 108 awards), with secondary exposure in guided missile manufacturing and ammunition production. Primary PSC categories align: cartridge and propellant actuated devices (74 awards) and ammunition/explosives testing (7 awards).
