About the company
Paligen Aerospace & Defense, LLC, a foreign-owned manufacturer based in Tampa, Florida, serves as a prime contractor to the Department of the Army and the Department of the Navy on high-value explosives production and ammunition programs, with a single significant subcontract as well. The vendor operates as a subsidiary of Paligen Technologies, Inc., also foreign-owned, and competes without set-aside designations on full-and-open procurements in explosives manufacturing and ammunition production.
The vendor's footprint centers on a single dominant prime vehicle: a single-award indefinite-delivery contract from the Department of the Army through PEO Ammunition, awarded November 6, 2024, with a $1.308 billion ceiling to design, construct, and operate a trinitrotoluene (TNT) production facility within the continental United States capable of manufacturing 5–15 million pounds per year of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene to MIL-DTL-248D specification, including operator training and facility operations support through February 15, 2029. A delivery order under that IDIQ, issued simultaneously on November 6, 2024, carries a $512.9 million firm fixed price ceiling for the same TNT production capability establishment. The underlying requirement originated from a sources-sought notice posted in September 2023. Place of performance for both awards is Tampa, Florida. In its subcontractor capacity, Paligen Aerospace & Defense delivered production support on a Raytheon contract awarded July 27, 2026, for production of 102 JSOW AGM-153 Block III missiles for Taiwan and Bahrain warheads, under a Basic Ordering Agreement with the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command.
Combined potential value across all three awards totals $1.82 billion, with $730.5 million obligated to date. The vendor's recent activity consists of two prime awards in 2024 and one sub award in 2026. No recompete cliff information is provided in the source.
