Wamore, Inc.

Wamore, Inc., doing business as Warrick & Associates Inc., is a woman-owned small business aerospace and defense manufacturer based in Phoenix, Arizona, that designs, manufactures, and tests precision aerial delivery systems and related hardware for the federal government, operating as a prime contractor on 94% of its recent awards and as a subcontractor on defense RDT&E programs. The company competes in full-and-open federal contracting without 8(a) set-aside positioning, though several of its prime awards carry Total Small Business or other small-business designations.

Wamore's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Army programs. The top five customers by potential value account for 92% of combined value, led by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (5 awards, $62.4 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (41 awards, $38.1 million), with TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (9 awards, $22.8 million), Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region (7 awards, $4.9 million), and Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command (3 awards, $4.6 million) rounding out the active set. The ranking by award count differs from the ranking by potential value — RD&E drives volume but Detroit Arsenal anchors the largest single dollars — signaling that Wamore receives numerous small task orders from RD&E and larger individual delivery orders from Detroit Arsenal.

Wamore's capability portfolio centers on Joint Precision Aerial Delivery System (JPADS) components, wireless gate release systems for C-130J airdrop operations, autonomous guidance units, and cargo parachute release systems. Representative prime work includes a $1.47 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (awarded November 16, 2022) for ACPRS (Aerial Cargo Precision Release System) delivery and modification, a $1.35 million delivery order from TACOM (awarded April 29, 2022) for JPADS 2,400-pound modular systems and replacement components for the Department of the Army, multiple wireless gate release system purchase orders from the U.S. Air Force ranging from approximately $20 thousand to $132.6 thousand, and a $38.4 thousand BPA call from the Missoula Technology and Development Center (awarded August 18, 2022) for JPAD guidance units supporting the Forest Service's wildland fire management. Wamore also holds an $11.3 million Other Transaction IDV awarded May 19, 2025 by the Research Development and Engineering Command for flight testing of autonomous aerial delivery systems on the C-130A platform and related design and validation activities.

Wamore's top parent vehicles are Indefinite Delivery Contract W911QY18D0186 (14 task orders, $2.4 million combined potential value), Blanket Purchase Agreement 12024B19A0002 (8 task orders, $315 thousand), Indefinite Delivery Contract W56HZV14D0111 (8 task orders, $13.5 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract W911QY16D0004 (7 task orders, $1.4 million), and the Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract (6 task orders). The product service code portfolio is dominated by parachutes and aerial delivery recovery systems (53 awards), equipment and materials testing (14 awards), and defense RDT&E (17 awards combined across advanced development and engineering development categories).

In its subcontractor role, Wamore delivers JPADS V3 and V4 hardware upgrades, 10K modular autonomous guidance units (MAGUs), and High Altitude Area Release System (HAARS) development support to HII Mission Technologies Corp on Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center programs, and JPADS 2KM V3.3 systems to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. on federal awards. Recent sub work includes multiple task orders from HII dated February 2025, December 2024, October 2024, September 2024, July 2024, and April 2024 for aerial delivery system development and testing. Award activity has averaged approximately five to seven awards per year over the past five years, with a low recompete cliff — only two awards (combined potential value $1.9 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The company has accumulated $50.1 million in obligated federal dollars across $143.5 million in combined potential value, reflecting a 35% obligation rate typical of active contract vehicles with remaining task-order capacity.
