Explosives and Explosive Products

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The contract is issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the purpose of enhancing the curriculum of the AEDT course through the provision of specific explosive products. The goal is to utilize these explosives as teaching tools, focusing on their packaging and various types used in different scenarios. The contractor must ensure that all items are manufactured within a year of delivery and must deliver to Redstone Arsenal or arrange pickup within 250 miles. Work Details The contractor is required to supply various types of explosives from multiple manufacturers to support the AEDT curriculum. Specific requirements include: - All items must have a date shift code within one year of manufacture at the time of delivery. - Items must be delivered to Redstone Arsenal unless pickup can be arranged within 250 miles. - The solicitation includes attachments for pricing and brand name specifications, which are critical for compliance with curriculum needs. Period of Performance The geographic location(s) the product will be delivered to or performed at Place of Performance Redstone Arsenal or within 250 miles of Redstone Arsenal. Bidder Requirements Bidders must comply with a Small Business Set Aside - Total (SBA) status. Additionally, they may need manufacturer or reseller authorizations for the specific explosive brands being supplied, ensuring compliance with domestic sourcing requirements. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract history, with multiple awards under the same “EXPLOSIVES AND EXPLOSIVE PRODUCTS” requirement. Prior awards include Cyclades Holdings ($61,026; 09/19/25–12/31/25), Accurate Energetic Systems ($22,144; 08/06/25–09/30/25), and Omni Distribution ($21,570; 08/06/25–09/30/25). The current requirement for brand-specific explosives and packaging to support the AEDT course, along with delivery to Redstone Arsenal (or pickup within 250 miles) and date-shift code constraints, aligns with the prior “Explosives and Explosive Products” scope and suggests continuity in supplying similar teaching/explosive items.
