Southern Ballistic Research LLC

Southern Ballistic Research LLC, doing business as SBR LLC, manufactures and supplies reduced hazard training ammunition and conventional rounds to federal law enforcement training centers as a veteran-owned prime contractor, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations across all recent awards. The company is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Brunswick, Georgia, with operations centered on small arms ammunition manufacturing (NAICS 541512 equivalent classification) and ammunition procurement for law enforcement training use (PSC 1310-Ammunition, Through 30mm).

SBR LLC operates exclusively under a single parent indefinite-delivery contract with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. The Commercial Lead Training Ammunition (CLTA) IDC, valued at $10 million and awarded September 3, 2021, carries an ultimate completion date of September 6, 2026, and serves as the contracting vehicle for all recent delivery orders. Under this vehicle, SBR LLC supplies reduced hazard training ammunition II generation (RHTA II) products in calibers including 9mm, .223 Remington, and .308 Winchester to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, the National Park Service, and the Department of Homeland Security. Recent representative awards include a May 18, 2026, delivery order from FLETC for 200,000 rounds of 9mm 100-grain reduced hazard training ammunition ($118,000, completion June 10, 2026); a June 17, 2025, order for .223 Remington ammunition ($39,809); and an April 29, 2025, order from the U.S. Marshals Service Training Academy for 9mm and .223 caliber ammunition supporting fugitive apprehension training ($60,800).

Customer concentration is severe. The Department of Homeland Security Federal Law Enforcement Training Center accounts for 7 of 14 recent awards and $26 million of the $26.1 million combined potential value across all awards—100% of dollars. The National Park Service and U.S. Marshals Service Training Academy make up the remainder in smaller orders. The portfolio spans eight distinct customer agencies, but all work flows through or relates to the FLETC-awarded CLTA vehicle. Award activity shows three orders in 2025 and one in 2026, following a multi-year gap with no new orders from 2022 through 2023. The CLTA IDC itself completes September 6, 2026—a recompete cliff representing the entire $10 million vehicle ceiling and all active task-order authority. SBR LLC holds no subcontractor positions and operates entirely as a prime contractor with no sub-awards in the source record.
