Sage International LTD

Sage International LTD, a veteran-owned for-profit manufacturer based in Oscoda, Michigan, supplies firearms, weapons, launchers, ammunition, and related accessories to the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice as a prime contractor operating entirely in full-and-open competition across 66 recent awards totaling $14.1 million in combined potential value. The vendor holds HUBZone certification and competes without set-aside protection on the vast majority of its portfolio.

Sage's capability footprint centers on ordnance manufacturing. The company's NAICS mix reflects specialization in small arms and ordnance accessories (27 awards under Other Ordnance and Accessories Manufacturing, 26 under Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), with secondary exposure in ammunition manufacturing (4 awards). PSC coding shows 39 awards for guns through 30mm, 8 for miscellaneous weapons, and 4 for assemblies interchangeable between weapon classes. Representative work includes a $20,575.72 firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Marshals Service Western Texas region for mission-critical D80 launchers supporting fugitive apprehension (July 2025), a $6,868.24 purchase order from the Marshals Service District of South Dakota for firearms, weapons, and accessories (August 2024), and a $9,300.10 purchase order from the Marshals Service Investigative Operations Division for FY22 firearms, qualifications, ammunition, and related products (September 2022).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to defense. The top five customers by potential value account for 96% of combined dollars, driven by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (9 awards, $7.9 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (11 awards, $3.7 million), and the Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (8 awards, $1.9 million). The Department of Justice U.S. Marshals Service contributes small-dollar volume across regional offices but minimal aggregate potential value. Sage operates on three primary Army indefinite-delivery vehicles — Indefinite Delivery Contract W56HZV11D0071 (4 task orders, $2.1 million), W56HZV11D0140 (4 task orders, $682 thousand) — and a Navy IDC N0016404D4824 (10 task orders, $3.5 million), plus a General Services Schedule position.

Activity has been sparse and episodic — five awards in 2022, one each in 2023 and 2024, then three in 2025 and two in 2026. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal, with only two awards (combined potential value $7 thousand) facing ultimate completion inside that window. Sage operates exclusively as a prime; the source shows zero subcontract work. The vendor's footprint reflects direct manufacturing supply and sustainment for defense platforms with extended vendor relationships but low transaction velocity relative to the sixty-six-award total, suggesting a base of long-standing orders with episodic replenishment rather than new program entry.
