United Ammunition Container Inc.

United Ammunition Container Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, manufactures precision fiber containers and fuze collars for military munitions systems and operates exclusively as a federal prime contractor (100% of recent awards) competing in full-and-open procurement without small business set-asides.

The vendor's capability portfolio concentrates on fiber packaging and containment solutions for ammunition logistics. Primary work includes manufacture, assembly, inspection, and delivery of fiber containers and fuze collars supporting grenade, mortar, and artillery systems. Recent prime awards exemplify this footprint: a $3.3 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Army's Joint Munitions Command (awarded December 2025) for 356,500 fiber containers and 356,500 fuze collars in support of the M18/M83 grenade program at Pine Bluff Arsenal; a $3.7 million delivery order from Joint Munitions Command (November 2025) for fiber containers and fuze collars supporting M18/M83 grenade production; a $613,999 delivery order from the Army's Program Executive Office Ammunition (July 2024) for manufacture and delivery of PA162 and PA167 fiber containers supporting 81mm and 120mm mortar cartridges; and a $1.46 million delivery order (February 2023) for PA175, PA162, and PA167 fiber containers supporting 60mm, 81mm, and 120mm mortar systems.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of the Army's munitions command structure. The Joint Munitions Command anchors the portfolio with 8 awards valued at $62.8 million combined potential value — 69% of all reported dollars — while the Program Executive Office Ammunition places 18 awards totaling $20.5 million. The Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Picatinny Arsenal contributes 3 awards worth $5.1 million. The broader Department of the Army accounts for 28 awards with lower individual values, and the Department of the Navy holds 3 awards. Together, these top four customer groupings represent 86% of awards.

The vendor holds position on multiple Army IDCs as a prime. The largest vehicle is a $50.89 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with Joint Munitions Command (award date August 2024, completion September 2029) covering fiber containers and fuze collars for Pine Bluff Arsenal's M18/M83 grenade program, from which multiple recent delivery orders flow. A $6.55 million single-award IDC with Program Executive Office Ammunition (awarded January 2023, completion January 2025) was competitively set aside for total small business and covers PA175, PA162, and PA167 fiber containers for 60mm, 81mm, and 120mm mortar cartridges, with work performed at contractor facilities in Tennessee and Pennsylvania. Five additional older IDCs (W15QKN11D0146, W15QKN17D0075, W15QKN11D0194, DAAA0985C0043, W519TC24D2013) carry 25 combined task orders and $14.9 million in cumulative potential value.

Activity has remained subdued in recent years — one award in 2020, one in 2021, two in 2023, three in 2024, and two in 2025 — though recent dollars are substantially higher per award. The vendor faces minimal near-term recompete exposure; only two awards (combined potential value $7 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The portfolio spans 70 total awards since 1981 with $91.3 million combined potential value, of which $32.2 million has been obligated. Primary NAICS codes cluster in Other Ordnance and Accessories Manufacturing (14 awards) and Other Paperboard Container Manufacturing (11 awards), with PSC classification reflecting ammunition and ordnance boxes, packages, and special containers (50 awards) as the dominant procurement category.
