Schwoeppe Machine & Tool Inc.

Schwoeppe Machine & Tool Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Marthasville, Missouri, manufactures specialized ammunition peculiar equipment, production tooling, and test fixtures for defense programs as a prime contractor on Army ammunition programs (17% of recent awards) and overwhelmingly as a subcontractor to major defense primes on missile and aircraft production (83% of awards). The vendor competes under Total Small Business set-asides on its direct Army work and holds no designated SBA certifications across the sub-award footprint.

Schwoeppe's prime capability centers on surveillance tables, test benches, and assembly fixtures supplied to Army munitions facilities. Recent prime work includes a $180,085 delivery order issued by the Department of the Army in September 2025 against IDIQ W52P1J22D3016 (Total Small Business set-aside, firm fixed price, completion March 2027) for ammunition peculiar equipment at Tooele, Utah; a $173,090 delivery order from the Joint Munitions Command in December 2023 for APE 2050M3 surveillance tables (no set-aside, completion February 2024); and a $57,855 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command in February 2023 for test cabinets (Total Small Business set-aside). Schwoeppe also holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract from PEO Ammunition valued at $883,105 (Total Small Business set-aside, completion September 2027), against which it has placed multiple delivery orders.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward defense prime contractors rather than direct federal agency work. By award count, the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Missiles and Space accounts for 27 awards, the Missile Defense Agency for 9 awards, and Naval Sea Systems Command for 3 awards, covering 81% of recent awards. By potential value, however, PEO Ammunition dominates with $1 million in combined potential across 2 awards, followed by NAVSEA with $357 thousand across 3 awards. The bottom-up distribution reflects Schwoeppe's posture as a tooling and fixture supplier to prime contractors rather than a systems integrator — many sub-awards carry modest individual values, but the aggregate count and recurrence signal steady production support.

Schwoeppe subcontracts heavily to Lockheed Martin Corporation (39 sub-awards spanning GMLRS tooling capacity, M270A2 MLRS component production, THAAD interceptor packaging and fixtures, PATRIOT PAC-3 production support, and PRSM tooling), The Boeing Company (4 sub-awards for F-15EX and P-8 platform work), Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies (2 sub-awards for National Security Campus operations and advisory services), Beacon Automotive (KC-135 fan duct remanufacture), and Omega Apparel (KC-135 fan duct work). The Lockheed Martin relationship dominates — approximately 87% of sub-awards route through Lockheed for guided rocket and missile production tooling, fixtures, and packaging support. Activity accelerated from 6 awards in 2022 to 26 awards in 2024, with 10 awards in 2025; only 1 award in the source reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months ($180 thousand recompete exposure). The vendor's work is concentrated in NAICS 334511 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing) at 63% of awards, with secondary presence in fabricated metal products and aircraft manufacturing. Place of performance spans Marthasville, Missouri (vendor headquarters and primary manufacturing), Tooele, Utah (Army ammunition depot), Puget Sound, Washington (DLA Maritime), and subordinate locations aligned with prime contractor facilities and Army logistics hubs.
