About the company
ST. Marks Powder, Inc. (doing business as ST Marks Powder Inc.), a subsidiary of General Dynamics Ordnance And Tactical Systems, Inc., manufactures propellants and bulk explosives for Department of Defense ammunition and weapons systems, operating as a prime contractor (64% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on ammunition assembly and munitions programs. The company is based in Crawfordville, Florida, competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint, and operates under primary NAICS categories of Explosives Manufacturing (23 awards) and Ammunition Manufacturing (14 awards).
ST. Marks Powder's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army ammunition procurement. The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center's Program Executive Office for Ammunition dominates the footprint, accounting for 21 of the company's 39 prime awards and $34.5 million of the combined potential value; the remaining Department of the Army entities (seven awards, $2.1 million) and the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (two awards, $292 thousand) round out the active customer set. Recent prime delivery orders include a $5.74 million procurement of WC684 and WC864 ball powder (July 2025, PEO Ammunition), a $1.47 million WC864 ball powder order (April 2026, PEO Ammunition), and a $720 thousand WC864 procurement (June 2026, PEO Ammunition). All prime awards are firm fixed-price delivery orders under indefinite delivery contracts, with no competitive set-asides. Task orders execute through two primary Army IDIQs: W519TC24D0007 (12 task orders) and W15QKN19D0074 (11 task orders, $12.5 million combined potential value).
Activity has grown substantially in the past two years — from two awards in 2022 to twelve in 2025 and four in 2026. Only one prime award ($5.7 million in potential value) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. As a subcontractor, ST. Marks Powder supplies explosives manufacturing and gunpowder to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (active across thirteen sub awards for 25mm, 20mm, and 30mm cartridge production, including M789 HEDP, M940 multipurpose tracer, and lightweight 30mm HEP cartridges) and to SIG Sauer Inc. (gunpowder supplier for XM1188 reduced-range cartridge, April 2025). ST. Marks Powder is also engaged in energetics research and development through a Leidos subcontract awarded in July 2024 to support the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment.
The company's capability footprint centers on loose spheroidal ball powder (WC684, WC864 variants) and bulk explosives suitable for artillery and small-arms charge systems, with consistent delivery from its Crawfordville facility. Combined dollars obligated exceed combined potential value by 21%, indicating actual invoiced revenue of at least $47.4 million across the historical footprint.
