RCS Rocket Motor Components, Inc.

RCS Rocket Motor Components, Inc., a veteran-owned small-business manufacturer based in Cedar City, Utah, supplies rocket motor components, igniters, and reload kits to the Department of Defense and NASA as a prime contractor (81% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to major primes. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its prime footprint.

RCS Rocket Motor Components delivers specialized pyrotechnic and propulsion hardware grounded in two dominant NAICS categories — Explosives Manufacturing and Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Propulsion Unit and Propulsion Unit Parts Manufacturing — with recent representative work including a $53.041 thousand purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for aerotech reload kits (awarded April 29, 2026, completing February 3, 2027), a $92.717 thousand delivery order from the Army's Joint Munitions Command for ARMD igniters (awarded August 29, 2022), and a $25.776 thousand Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order for rocket motor components (awarded January 20, 2023). The company holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Army's Joint Munitions Command valued at $92.717 thousand.

Customer concentration splits between the Army and Navy. The Department of the Army Materiel Command's Joint Munitions Command leads by potential value (4 awards, $254 thousand combined), while the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command dominates by award count (9 awards, $179 thousand combined potential value). Together these two customers account for 86% of awards. The company also holds minor relationships with NASA Goddard Space Center, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and the Naval Air Warfare Center. Recent activity is sparse — one to four awards per year since 2022 — with only one award ($53 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in that window.

In its subcontractor role, RCS supplies spin motor assemblies and igniter components to Raytheon Company on Advanced Technology Support Program and Future Advanced Strike initiatives, and furnishes sub-orbital payload assembly and spin motor hardware to Peraton Inc. on the NASA Sounding Rockets Program (NSROC IV). The company's $1.4 million in combined dollars obligated across all awards exceeds its $466 thousand combined potential value, indicating a backlog of prior-period obligations or a portfolio weighted toward completion of longer-running small-dollar purchase orders.

Manufacturer and retailer of solid and hybrid propellant rocket motors, rocket motor components, rocket kits, ground support equipment and parts; also conducts rocket propulsion training seminars
