About the company
Defense Technology, LLC, a Casper, Wyoming-based subsidiary of Safariland LLC, manufactures less-lethal munitions, tactical equipment, and riot control grenades for the U.S. Army and federal law enforcement and correctional facilities as a prime contractor operating exclusively in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designation.
Defense Technology operates as a 100% prime contractor footprint with no subcontract activity. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on ammunition manufacturing and less-lethal tactical products. Primary work includes the production of CS riot control grenades (particularly the M7A3 grenade family), 12-gauge breaching ammunition cartridges, 40mm tactical launchers and munitions (40mm foam baton rounds, 40mm impact rounds), OC vapor grenades, smoke grenades, flash grenades, training kits, and batons. Representative recent awards include a $410.7 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of the Army for CS and fuel-oxidizer mix slugs supporting the M7A3 CS riot control grenade program, awarded September 19, 2025 under FAR 6.302-1(a) sole-source justification based on unique technical capabilities; a $7.072 million single-award indefinite delivery contract from U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey awarded September 5, 2024, for the manufacture, testing, inspection, packaging, and delivery of approximately 1.68 million rounds of 12-gauge breaching M1030 ammunition cartridges running through fiscal year 2029; and multiple facility-level purchase orders from the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons for less-lethal equipment replenishment ranging from $554 to $23.9 thousand.
Customer concentration skews heavily toward the Department of the Army. The top five customer entities account for 18% of awards by count but anchor 93% of combined potential value. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Picatinny Arsenal and the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Ammunition together represent $113.7 million (88% of total portfolio value) across 22 awards. These two Army ammunition customers dominate the potential-value ranking, while the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Detention Center Houston ranks third by award count (10 awards) but carries only $22 thousand in combined potential value — a high-volume, low-dollar facility replenishment pattern. The vendor serves 43 distinct customer agencies in total, reflecting extensive penetration of federal corrections facilities alongside major Army ammunition programs.
Defense Technology holds positions on five Army indefinite delivery contracts, with the largest (W52P1J08D0068) carrying seven task orders worth $4 million combined potential value and W15QKN12D0122 carrying four task orders worth $4.2 million. The vendor's award footprint reflects ammunition and ordnance manufacturing concentration: 77 awards in NAICS 327910 (Ammunition except Small Arms Manufacturing), 66 in 327920 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing), and 26 in 327920 (Explosives Manufacturing). PSC coding shows 94 awards under Miscellaneous Ammunition, 34 under Ammunition Through 30mm, and 21 under Ammunition Over 30mm Up to 75mm, confirming deep specialization in munitions production rather than broader tactical-equipment supply.
Activity has been modest and variable: one award in 2022, eight in 2023, twelve in 2024, eight in 2025, and three in 2026 year-to-date as of August 12, 2026. The recompete cliff for the next twenty-four months carries four awards worth $16.6 million combined potential value, the largest exposure being the Army's single-award ammunition IDIQ contract running through September 2029 — a core program at risk in the recompete window. Combined potential value across the portfolio sits at $128.5 million with $63.6 million obligated (49% burn rate), reflecting the indefinite-delivery structure of Army munitions work where ceiling values are large but actual ordering across five-year ordering periods front-loads near-term delivery exposure.
