NAICS 332993 – Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing encompasses the production of explosive ordnance and propellant systems for military applications, including artillery shells, mortar rounds, guided missile warheads, demolition charges, and other medium- to large-caliber munitions. This sector supports critical defense readiness through the design, fabrication, testing, and certification of munitions that meet stringent military specifications such as MIL-STD and NATO STANAG standards. Manufacturing involves precision metallurgy, high-energy chemistry, and advanced assembly processes under strict safety and quality control protocols. In the federal contracting landscape, this NAICS code serves as a cornerstone of the Department of Defense’s sustainment and modernization efforts, linking industrial base capacity with operational needs across land, air, and naval platforms. Top contractors in this space include EPS CORPORATION, DELOITTE CONSULTING LLP, PROGRAMMED RESPONSE LLC, EG&R ENGINEERING PC, and MANTEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., representing a mix of specialized defense manufacturers, engineering service providers, and systems integrators. Many are small to mid-sized firms with niche expertise in ordnance logistics, compliance, or technical support, while others offer broader defense consulting services that enable ammunition lifecycle management. The Department of Defense is the dominant buyer, driving demand through munitions replenishment, modernization of legacy stockpiles, and support for overseas contingency operations. Programs under Army Materiel Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Air Force Life Cycle Management Center are primary sources of procurement, with emphasis on reliability, interoperability, and extended shelf life. The competitive landscape is characterized by high regulatory barriers and technical specialization, creating opportunities for firms with certified manufacturing facilities, explosives handling expertise, and experience in defense supply chain compliance. Demand remains steady due to ongoing modernization initiatives and the need for domestic production resilience.

Small Diameter Bomb Increment II (SDB II) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity 4The U.S. Air Force’s Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Armament Directorate’s Small Diameter Bomb II Program Office, intends to transition to a new seven-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for comprehensive lifecycle support of the SDB II weapon system, currently held by Raytheon Company under a sole-source arrangement. This effort encompasses all aspects of sustainment including weapon integration, production, testing, logistics, software updates, technical data management, and the development of simulation and test hardware, with contract types potentially including firm fixed price, cost reimbursement, and incentive-based structures. To maintain operational continuity despite the unavailability of a full Technical Data Package due to proprietary OEM algorithms, potential vendors must demonstrate advanced capabilities in reverse engineering, clean-room software development, Hardware-in-the-Loop validation, and binary analysis to sustain and modernize the system without access to original source code. Vendors must hold an active Top Secret Facility Clearance and ensure personnel maintain appropriate clearances. Submissions are limited to a ten-page capability statement detailing experience across nine key technical areas, including configuration management, aircraft integration, legacy algorithm reconstruction, obsolescence mitigation, and rapid 60-day transition planning from the incumbent. Responses must be submitted as PDF, DOC, or XLS files via email with the exact subject line required to bypass security filters, and are due no later than 5:00 p.m. CDT on July 27, 2026. All respondents must be registered in SAM, disclose their size status relative to the 1,500-person small business threshold, indicate any foreign ownership, and specify socio-economic designations. While no solicitation exists now, the Government will use submitted capability statements to determine whether future procurement will proceed as full and open, or be set aside for small businesses, with the understanding that small business awardees must perform at least half the work. Responses are voluntary, non-binding, and submitted at the respondent’s expense with no guarantee of review or feedback.
