Qualification Targets Inc.

Qualification Targets Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of shooting targets and range equipment based in Hammond, Wisconsin, operates as a prime contractor selling paper and cardboard qualification targets, silhouettes, and related training accessories to the federal government. The vendor competes across both full-and-open and small business set-aside categories, with roughly 49 percent of recent awards designated as small business set-asides (Total Small Business and Competitive Small Business combined) and the remainder unrestricted.

Qualification Targets manufactures specialized E-type silhouette targets, IPSC paper targets, zeroing targets, target pasters, and shot timers designed to support military marksmanship training, security forces qualification programs, and law enforcement practice. Representative work includes a $4.57 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Installation and Mission Support Center Security Forces Center (award date June 2022, completion June 2027) for military E-type silhouette qualification targets in three variants—Pistol Air Force Qualification Course practice targets, Pistol Evaluation targets, and Rifle/Carbine targets—packaged in 500-unit boxes. On the Defense Logistics Agency side, the vendor has executed dozens of purchase orders for silhouette targets and target pasters valued between $6,966 and $235,093; a representative $235,093 Total Small Business set-aside definitive contract (May 2024) called for silhouette targets under the Air Force IDC vehicle. The vendor also holds a seat on GSA's Federal Supply Schedule (GS07F0150J), executing 66 task orders for delivery-order sales of targets and training supplies valued at $537 thousand combined.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward defense and security agencies. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 49 percent of recent awards but only a fraction of the dollar value. By potential value, the concentration reverses sharply: the Department of the Air Force Security Forces Center commands $8.4 million (48 percent of total portfolio potential value) across just five awards, nearly all flowing from the $4.57 million master IDC. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service ranks second with $6.8 million across 15 awards (40 percent of portfolio value), while the Defense Logistics Agency trails with $1.4 million across 51 awards. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security Chief Procurement Officer, the Department of the Navy, and the Marine Corps round out the active customer set at smaller values. The vendor has also executed minimal-value delivery orders with Naval Sea Systems Command, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, and the Marine Corps.

The vendor's vehicle footprint is dominated by GSA's Federal Supply Schedule (66 task orders) and broader Multiple Award Schedule activity (22 task orders, $63 thousand combined value), supplemented by a five-order Blanket Purchase Agreement tied to GSA Schedule GS07F0150J and three orders under a separate indefinite delivery vehicle (FA805417D0001). Purchase orders through Defense Logistics Agency Construction and Equipment account for the largest single-customer award count but the smallest per-order and combined values, reflecting routine, recurring small consumables buys.

Activity has declined materially in recent years. The vendor executed 14 awards in 2022, 11 in 2023, and 13 in 2024, falling to just five in 2025 and one in 2026 (through mid-July). Combined potential value across the 179 awards totals $17.4 million, with only $2.3 million obligated to date—a 13 percent obligation rate characteristic of manufacturing supply contracts with variable call-down patterns. The vendor faces no significant recompete cliff; the Air Force master IDC runs through June 2027, anchoring the portfolio through that date, and individual DLA purchase orders complete on rolling schedules throughout 2024 and 2025. The vendor operates as a 100 percent prime contractor footprint with no subcontract activity in the source data. NAICS concentration confirms the manufacturing core: Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing dominates at 85 awards, followed by Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (35 awards, likely misfiled or cross-referenced targets) and Showcase/Locker Manufacturing (23 awards). PSC coding aligns: Armament Training Devices (102 awards) and Training Aids (15 awards) account for the bulk of the catalog.
