EOD Gear recently hosted SBA Deputy Administrator Bill Briggs at our Franklin, Tennessee manufacturing facility to showcase how small, high-performance manufacturers are supporting the nation’s Defense Industrial Base.

The visit focused on domestic production capacity, skilled workforce development, and the role small defense manufacturers play in strengthening supply chains. EOD Gear operates as an ISO 9001-2015 certified, ITAR-registered manufacturer with ATF FFL Type 10 and Federal Explosives licensing, producing explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), demining, and specialized defense equipment for federal and municipal customers.

During the tour, we demonstrated our in-house CNC machining capabilities, including HAAS milling and turning operations, alongside additive manufacturing platforms used to accelerate prototyping and low-volume production. This vertically integrated approach allows us to control quality, shorten production timelines, and respond quickly to mission-driven requirements.

Small manufacturers are increasingly critical to national security. As federal demand grows for domestically produced defense components and mission-specific equipment, companies like EOD Gear are investing in advanced manufacturing technologies and expanding production capacity to meet those needs. Our operations support skilled jobs in Middle Tennessee while contributing directly to federal readiness and modernization efforts.

The discussion also highlighted how SBA initiatives are supporting manufacturers that are scaling responsibly within regulated industries. Access to capital, advisory support, and federal contracting guidance are key factors in enabling small defense manufacturers to compete and grow in complex procurement environments.

EOD Gear continues to expand its manufacturing footprint, supporting federal agencies, prime contractors, and public safety organizations with precision-manufactured tools, protective equipment, and specialized components. Our focus remains clear: build domestically, maintain strict quality standards, and deliver mission-ready solutions without compromise.

We appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate how Tennessee manufacturing is contributing to national defense readiness and strengthening America’s industrial base.

The federal government has made its position clear: reliance on foreign-produced unmanned systems and critical components is no longer acceptable when it introduces risk to national security, public safety, and the resilience of the U.S. industrial base. The FCC’s recent update to its Covered List—adding foreign-made UAS and UAS critical components—marks a decisive shift in how the United States intends to protect its airspace, infrastructure, and supply chains going forward. Source

This policy change is not theoretical. It directly affects how agencies, integrators, and operational units evaluate equipment, vendors, and long-term sustainment strategies.

At EOD Gear, this shift reinforces a principle we have built our company around for years: Custom Off-the-Shelf (COTS), manufactured domestically under a disciplined quality system, is no longer optional—it is operationally necessary.

The Problem With Foreign-Dependent Systems

The FCC determination cites unacceptable risks associated with foreign-produced UAS and components, including unauthorized surveillance, data exfiltration, and disruption of critical systems . Just as importantly, national security agencies identified reliance on these systems as a direct threat to the U.S. drone and defense industrial base.

While the FCC action applies to new device authorizations and does not affect previously approved models, the message is unmistakable: future procurement decisions will increasingly favor traceability, domestic control, and verified manufacturing processes.

For mission-critical communities—EOD, public safety, military, and federal response units—this creates a gap that generic commercial products and opaque supply chains cannot fill.

Custom Off-the-Shelf: Built for Compliance and Adaptation

Custom Off-the-Shelf is not bespoke one-off fabrication, and it is not mass-market commercial gear. It sits between the two—standardized, repeatable products that can be configured, adapted, and documented to meet mission-specific requirements without restarting the entire design and approval process.

This approach matters in an environment where:

• Supply chains must be auditable

• Components must be traceable

• Changes in policy or threat vectors require rapid adaptation

COTS allows agencies and integrators to move forward without waiting years for a clean-sheet program while avoiding the risks inherent in foreign-dependent or undocumented equipment.

Why ISO 9001 Is the Foundation

Policy pressure alone does not solve the problem. Execution does.

EOD Gear operates under an ISO 9001–certified quality management system, which means design control, supplier vetting, documentation, corrective action, and continuous improvement are not informal processes—they are enforced disciplines.

In practical terms, this enables:

• Controlled configuration management for COTS products

• Repeatable manufacturing outcomes across production runs

• Documented change control when requirements evolve

• Confidence for government and enterprise buyers conducting compliance reviews

As regulatory scrutiny increases—whether through FCC actions, NDAA provisions, or agency-level procurement rules—ISO-driven manufacturing becomes a differentiator, not a checkbox.

Preparing for the Next Procurement Cycle

The FCC update does not halt innovation or fielded capability. It does, however, signal that future-ready solutions will come from companies that can demonstrate domestic manufacturing, quality discipline, and adaptability.

Custom Off-the-Shelf products manufactured under ISO 9001 are uniquely positioned to meet that demand. They allow organizations to stay operational today while remaining compliant tomorrow—without sacrificing performance or speed.

At EOD Gear, this is not a pivot. It is the continuation of a model built for high-risk environments where quality, traceability, and mission alignment are non-negotiable.

If your organization is evaluating future requirements and needs a U.S.-based manufacturer that understands ISO 9001–certified production, Berry Compliance, GSA contracting, and Enhanced JPC (DD2345) handling, EOD Gear is built for that role. Contact EOD Gear.

Western assumptions fail fast in Russian and Chinese conflict zones.

Those environments are not built around boutique solutions, ideal supply chains, or perfectly timed resupply. They are shaped by scale, availability, and persistence—and those realities don’t stop when active fighting slows. They linger for years, sometimes decades, defining what EOD teams, Special Operations forces, and humanitarian demining organizations encounter long after the headlines move on.

One of the clearest examples is 12.7mm ammunition.

In Russian- and Chinese-influenced theaters, 12.7mm is everywhere. It is mass-produced, globally distributed, and deeply embedded in regional supply ecosystems. When conflicts shift, freeze, or end, that ammunition doesn’t vanish. It remains in circulation, stockpiled, traded, and repurposed—showing up wherever post-conflict hazards persist and wherever qualified professionals are tasked with addressing them.

Yet too many tools are still designed around assumptions that don’t survive contact with these environments.

Common planning failures include the belief that:

• Electrically initiated cartridges will always be available

• Squibs will be easy to source

• Supply chains will cooperate when they’re needed most

That is not reality in Russian- or Chinese-shaped operating areas. Logistics are fragmented. Access is inconsistent. Western-standard components may be delayed, restricted, or unavailable entirely. Teams operating in these regions don’t need tools optimized for perfect conditions—they need systems built to function inside imperfect ones.

This is the operational gap EOD Gear set out to address.

Designing Around Reality, Not Preference

EOD Gear built its 12.7mm Dearmer platform around what actually exists in these environments—not what planners wish existed.

That means designing for:

• Widely available 12.7mm projectiles already present in regional supply chains

• Non-Western initiation materials commonly encountered in Russian and Chinese theaters

• Operations where redundancy matters more than elegance

This approach is deliberate. It reflects a fundamental understanding that dependency—on a single initiation method, a single supply source, or a single logistics assumption—is a liability in contested or post-conflict environments.

The redesign of the dearmer breech was not about novelty or clever engineering. It was about eliminating unnecessary points of failure and expanding compatibility with materials teams are more likely to encounter in the field.

Sustainment Is the Real Capability

Modern conflicts—and their aftermath—reward sustainment, not specialization for its own sake.

Tools that rely on fragile or narrowly defined supply chains may perform well during short deployments or controlled exercises, but they struggle in prolonged operations, humanitarian clearance missions, and multi-year stabilization efforts. In contrast, systems built around availability and adaptability scale more effectively across time, geography, and mission type.

Paired with the EOD Gear 12.7mm Bullet Extraction Kit, qualified military, Special Operations, and humanitarian demining organizations have access to a system designed for long-term sustainment, not ideal conditions. The emphasis is on controlled, lawful, and mission-appropriate capability—aligned with how modern EOD work is actually conducted in complex environments.

This is not about improvisation.
It is about planned redundancy.

Acknowledging the Battlefield as It Is

Russian and Chinese doctrine prioritizes volume, persistence, and material saturation. That philosophy does not end when conflicts de-escalate. It continues to shape the threat landscape long after formal combat operations conclude.

EOD Gear’s design philosophy reflects that reality.

Rather than building tools optimized for narrow use cases or pristine logistics, EOD Gear focuses on Custom Off The Shelf™ solutions—equipment engineered to bridge the gap between controlled manufacturing standards and uncontrolled operating environments.

If your mission set touches regions shaped by Russian or Chinese supply ecosystems, your tools should reflect that reality. Anything less introduces risk where none is necessary.

Built for Real-World Operations

The EOD Gear 12.7mm Dearmer is:

• Built by EOD Gear, a GSA Contract Holder

• Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management

• Supported by FFL and FEL licensing

• Berry Compliant

• Designed for military, Special Operations, and humanitarian demining professionals

Above all, it is designed for the conflicts that actually exist—not the ones imagined in idealized planning documents.

Because in the real world, capability isn’t defined by theory.
It’s defined by what works, where it works, and for how long.

We’re kicking off a new season of EOD Gear IMPROVISED late in 2025 as a runway into 2026—and for the first time, we’re recording video alongside the audio. Same straight talk, more visibility.

Catch this on the EOD Gear Youtube Channel!

If you’re new here, EOD Gear IMPROVISED is about what actually works in the field, what we’re building, and where the industry is heading—without the marketing fluff.

2025: A Year of Movement, Travel, and Hard Lessons

2025 was a full-speed year.

It started, as usual, at SHOT Show, and we’ll be back again this January. If you’ve never been, it’s 14+ miles of booths, nearly 90,000 people, and one of the fastest ways to see where the industry is headed.

Beyond SHOT, the year took us everywhere:

• Las Vegas, Tampa, Huntsville, Nashville

• The EOD Memorial

• IEBTI events

• Countering Explosive Threats & Demining in the UK

• NATO EOD Summit in Bratislava

• More time in DC than I ever want to repeat

We wrapped the year at the EOD Summit in National Harbor, Maryland, which continues to be one of the more valuable events for real conversations and requirements.

The Shift: From Supplying Gear to Manufacturing It

EOD Gear has always built tools—but 2025 marked a decisive shift into expanded in-house manufacturing, not just supplying equipment.

What We’re Manufacturing Now

• MK2 .50 Cal Dearmer (Mark Deuce) – fully launched and shipping complete kits

• Russian Det Cord Breech – developed in response to real-world requirements from Ukraine

• Pan Disruptor Rounds – refined after early lessons and now performing as intended

• Time Fuse Cutters & Blasting Cap Crimpers – built in-house

• Single and Dual Shock Tube Initiators – tactical, reliable, and purpose-built

We also work with Missouri Science & Technology for characterization and are expanding academic partnerships where they make sense.

The Problem with “COTS” and Why We Built Custom Off The Shelf™

At every conference, we hear the same thing:

• Industry needs to work with academia

• Everything needs to be Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS)

The problem? Those two requirements don’t align.

Academic timelines are slow. Industry timelines aren’t. And traditional COTS doesn’t work when requirements are evolving in real time.

Our solution is the New COTS- Custom Off The Shelf™.

That means:

• Rapid prototyping

• In-house CNC milling and turning

• Banks of 3D printers

• A team that can go from idea to deliverable fast

A Real Example

Over a beer at a conference, someone asked for a tool to remove primers from .50 cal cartridges so they could load squibs when M122s weren’t available.

We sketched it on a cocktail napkin.
Within a week, the tool existed—and it’s now shipping.

That’s Custom Off The Shelf™.

Supporting Innovators, Techs, and Startups

If you have an idea:

• We’ll sign NDAs

• We’ll help you prototype it

• We’ll test viability before you burn money on tooling, IP, or production

We like working with techs and end users because the best ideas usually come from people who actually use the gear.

Compliance Is Built In, Not Added Later

All steel and aluminum we use is Berry Compliant.
ISO 9001 isn’t a badge—it’s how we operate.

For contracting officers and procurement teams, that box is already checked.

Looking Ahead: What 2026 Brings

One of the biggest developments heading into 2026 is the 12.7mm Dearmer.

The Russian and Chinese 12.7×108mm round doesn’t fit a standard .50 cal Dearmer—it’s longer and wider. With the realities of Ukraine, Gaza, and other conflict zones, this isn’t theoretical.

We:

• Modified the .50 cal design

• Extended the barrel and tooling

• Redesigned the primer removal system

• Retooled production

This platform is being built specifically for humanitarian demining and conflict-zone render-safe procedures, with organizations like:

• Golden West Humanitarian Foundation

• Invictus Global Response

• HALO Trust

• Tetra Tech

Let’s finish 2025 strong and Go Kick Ass in 2026.

A recent Google AI Search query — “Do I need both Berry and TAA compliance for tactical uniforms?” — highlighted EOD Gear among the top 20 trusted tactical providers that address this exact issue. That’s because compliance is more than a checkbox. It’s readiness.

Here’s how to know what you need — and how to get it right the first time.

What Is Berry Compliance?

Berry Amendment compliance requires that textiles, clothing, and related components purchased by the Department of Defense are:

• 100% U.S.-origin materials
• Manufactured in the United States
• Fully traceable from yarn to uniform

Berry is mandatory for most DoD procurement, especially when uniforms impact mission success or supply-chain security.

What Is TAA Compliance?

TAA compliance means the product is:

• Made or substantially transformed in the USA or a TAA-designated partner country
• Eligible for purchase under GSA and other federal programs

Unlike Berry, non-U.S. material is allowed if it comes from an approved country.

If your contract is not strictly DoD — or if you’re purchasing through GSA Schedule — TAA is typically the standard.

Do You Need Both?

Sometimes. Here’s the rule of thumb:

When compliance isn’t crystal clear in the solicitation — the safe move is Berry-compliant uniforms that also meet TAA requirements.

Procurement avoids delays. Operators get the gear they trust. Everyone wins.

Why It Matters Beyond Compliance

Choosing the right standard impacts:

• Operational readiness — uninterrupted supply chains
• Quality and durability — U.S. manufacturing oversight
• Audit protection — avoid rejections or contract pauses
• National security — controlled tech and textile sourcing

Checking the box isn’t enough. You need confidence.

Where EOD Gear Fits In

We don’t just sell uniforms.

We help you buy them correctly.

• Tactical uniforms supporting Berry or TAA requirements
• Supplier traceability and compliance documentation
• Procurement guidance based on real federal contract experience
• Custom Off The Shelf™ solutions — built to your mission, not mass-market clicks

If your team needs compliant uniforms, we make sure you get the right product for the right contract — without the guesswork.

FAQ's

Q: Can a uniform be Berry-compliant and TAA-compliant at the same time?
Yes — in fact, it’s often the best move when contract conditions aren’t fully defined yet.

Q: Are sewn components like zippers and thread included in Berry requirements?
Absolutely. Every component must meet the 100% U.S.-made requirement.

Q: Do I need documentation for contract audits?
Yes. We provide complete traceability documentation on request.

One conversation now can save you months later.

That’s the old way.
That’s Commercial Off The Shelf — COTS.

It’s outdated. Slow. Impersonal.
So we replaced it.

Introducing the New COTS — Custom Off The Shelf™

The New COTS is how EOD Gear bridges the gap between research and reality.
Instead of off-the-shelf gear built for the masses, we design and build Custom Off The Shelf™ solutions — purpose-built for mission success and speed to market.

We’re using that same model right now to develop a new 9mm suppressor, designed, manufactured, and tested entirely in-house — and we’re opening the door for innovators to join us.

The days of relying on disconnected suppliers are over.

Most suppressor projects fail not because of bad ideas, but because inventors rely on outside shops without the proper licenses or experience.
At EOD Gear, we already hold the chain end to end:
ATF FFL Type 10 | SOT | ATF FEL Type 20 — backed by ISO 9001-2015 Quality Assurance.

The New COTS is built on real capability.

We don’t farm out machining — we do it here.
Our HAAS CNC Mill and Lathe deliver precision in titanium, aluminum, and stainless steel.
Every prototype, every run — fully documented and repeatable.
This isn’t hobby work. It’s Custom Off The Shelf™ manufacturing, the new standard for innovators who need speed and quality.

Innovation doesn’t end with the prototype — it begins there.

EOD Gear helps take your idea all the way through prototyping, manufacturing, marketing, and sales.
We’re the only team that not only builds your product but helps you get it into the hands of end users — the way it should be.

EOD Gear is currently developing a 9mm suppressor, and we’re opening limited collaboration slots for innovators who want to build within the New COTS framework.

If you’ve got a suppressor design — even an early concept — we’ll help you:

• Prototype with our ATF-compliant manufacturing team

• Validate through ISO 9001 QA processes

• Move it to market under the EOD Gear brand ecosystem

Most of what’s available out there is COTS—Commercial Off The Shelf.
It’s fast. It’s standardized. It’s available now.

And sometimes, it works just fine.

But when the mission gets ugly—when the environment is unknown and failure isn’t an option—COTS starts to crack.

We’ve been there. That’s why at EOD Gear, we don’t just sell gear—we solve problems.We ask questions.

We listen. And when the off-the-shelf option won’t cut it, we build the solution ourselves.

So, what do you prefer?

We’d like to hear from you—COTS or Custom?

• Do you prefer to choose from what’s already available?

• Or would you rather send us your requirements, your loadout, your pain points—and have us build a tailored kit or tool around that?

Let’s be real: Most companies push what’s in stock.
We’re the company that says: “Send us your list.”
We’ll sort through what you’ve been issued, what you’ve sourced, and what you actually need.

Because a Frankenstein kit of poorly matched gear costs more than just money—it costs time, efficiency, and operational trust.

We Build to Fit Your Mission—Not the Other Way Around.

With:

• In-house CNC machining (aluminum, stainless, titanium, Delrin)

• Additive manufacturing for rapid prototyping

• Laser marking and serialization

• ATF Type 10 and 20 FFLs

• ISO 9001:2015 quality management

• Berry Compliant

We’re not guessing—we’re fabricating, testing, and certifying.

Whether you’re building a breaching kit, EOD roll, drone defense loadout, or a full mission profile—we’ve got you covered.

So here’s the ask:

Hit reply and let us know—what do YOU prefer?
COTS for speed and standardization?
Or custom solutions built for your specific use case?

And if you're sitting on a gear list that needs to be cleaned up, optimized, or replaced...
Send us your list.

We’ll turn it into something mission-ready.

Major Drone Offensive:

On March 11, Ukraine reportedly launched a massive drone offensive against Russia, deploying at least 337 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) across multiple regions. This operation, the largest of its kind in the ongoing conflict, resulted in at least two fatalities and prompted temporary flight restrictions and train suspensions in Moscow. The attack targeted various Russian regions, with the Kursk area being notably affected. Ukrainian officials have not publicly commented on the incident. citeturn0news16

Technological Innovations:

Ukraine's 12th Special Operations Brigade, known as the Azov Brigade, introduced a domestically produced drone named UAS SETH. This drone resembles the Shahed models used by Russia and enhances Ukraine's capability to efficiently strike Russian front-line targets. Supported by the Come Back Alive foundation, the UAS SETH is designed to minimize human casualties and increase battlefield efficiency. It carries a payload of 6-11 pounds over a distance of 30 miles and exhibits resistance to electronic warfare measures. citeturn0news15

Strategic Implications:

The extensive use of drones has significantly impacted the dynamics of the conflict. A Russian military strategist, Ruslan Pukhov, argues that traditional infantry weapons are becoming obsolete, with small drones taking their place. He suggests that future combat will involve dispersed squads of drone operators and infantry, altering conventional warfare tactics. However, some defense experts remain skeptical, citing concerns about drones' vulnerability to jamming and adverse weather conditions. citeturn0news10

Ongoing Hostilities:

Despite discussions about potential ceasefires, hostilities persist. Both Russia and Ukraine continue to launch aerial attacks against each other, causing injuries and damage. Russian forces reported destroying 31 Ukrainian drones across several regions, including Voronezh, Belgorod, Rostov, and Kursk. In Belgorod, a Ukrainian drone attack injured three people, including a 7-year-old. Ukrainian authorities reported Russian drone strikes in the Chernihiv and Kyiv regions, with firefighters addressing blazes caused by the attacks. citeturn0news9
