SPECTRA TECHNOLOGIES LLC

Spectra Technologies LLC specializes in the precision manufacturing of high-performance explosive charges and ammunition components for defense applications, with deep expertise in TNT and PBXN-9 formulations. The company delivers mission-critical supplementary charges used in combat munitions systems, including first-article testing and technical documentation compliance. Their technical capabilities encompass explosive formulation, precision machining of explosive discs and rods, and rigorous adherence to military specifications for safety, stability, and performance. They maintain proficiency in integrating Army Contract Writing System (ACWS) language and managing critical item restrictions, demonstrating strong familiarity with DoD procurement protocols and quality assurance frameworks for sensitive ordnance components. The contractor maintains a consistent and exclusive relationship with the Department of Defense, providing specialized ammunition manufacturing services across multiple program offices, particularly those under Combat Ammunition Systems. Their work supports tactical and artillery systems through the production of non-small arms explosive payloads, signal cartridges, and custom explosive components, indicating a trusted role in sustaining the defense industrial base for live-fire and training munitions. Spectra’s primary industry focus lies in NAICS 332993—Ammunition (Except Small Arms) Manufacturing—where they produce bulk explosive charges and related ordnance subsystems. They also possess niche expertise in explosives manufacturing (325920) and small arms ammunition (332992), positioning them as a specialized supplier within the broader defense ordnance supply chain, serving programs requiring high-reliability, low-volume, and technically complex explosive components. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Camden, Arkansas, Spectra Technologies operates with a focused, mission-driven approach to defense manufacturing. While lacking formal government certifications, their consistent delivery of technically demanding ordnance components under stringent DoD oversight underscores their operational reliability and compliance discipline within the defense supply ecosystem.
