Manufacturing Services
Defense-grade manufacturing isn't a claim — it's a credential stack, and EOD Gear holds it. EOD Gear provides contract manufacturing services from our Franklin, Tennessee facility: CNC mill and lathe machining in metals and plastics including Delrin, CNC-routed custom foam, additive manufacturing in plastics and carbon fiber, and laser etching and engraving. We operate under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system as an ITAR-registered, CMMC Level 2 manufacturer holding DD Form 2345 with Enhanced JPC — qualified to receive and protect controlled technical data most shops can't touch. As a GSA Schedule contract holder, SBA-certified SDVOSB, and ATF FFL Type 10 / FEL Type 20 licensee, we support defense primes, OEMs, government programs, and commercial customers from prototype through production. Send us the drawing — we'll build it right.

Manufacturing Services: Frequently Asked Questions
What manufacturing services does EOD Gear provide?
Five cells under one roof in Franklin, Tennessee: CNC mill and lathe machining in metals and engineering plastics, additive manufacturing in plastics and carbon fiber, CNC-routed custom foam, laser engraving including NFA work, and FPV Safe and Arm systems for drone payload programs.
Why does one-roof manufacturing matter?
Speed and accountability. A part can be printed to prove the design, machined for production, fitted into CNC-cut foam, and engraved with asset markings without ever leaving the building — one vendor, one PO, one quality system, no finger-pointing between subcontractors when the schedule matters.
Can EOD Gear receive controlled technical data?
Yes. ITAR registration, CMMC Level 2 compliance, and DD Form 2345 with Enhanced JPC mean we can legally receive, store, and manufacture from controlled drawings and technical data packages — the compliance threshold that disqualifies most commercial job shops from defense work before the quote is even requested.
What proof stands behind the capability claims?
Our own catalog: dearmer systems, Pan disrupter ammunition, shock tube initiators, crimpers, and cutters manufactured on these machines under ATF FFL Type 10 and FEL Type 20 licenses — plus custom foam and engraved cases delivered for customers up to the USS John F. Kennedy. The equipment that makes our products makes your parts.
How do primes and program offices engage EOD Gear?
Send drawings, models, or the requirement through the contact form — every submission is logged and answered in writing, giving your contract file documented correspondence from the first exchange. We respond with formal quotes, capability statements, and sourcing documentation — through GSA Schedule GS-07F-148GA, purchase orders, or RFQ. As an SDVOSB, awards to EOD Gear also count toward socioeconomic subcontracting goals. See Buy on GSA.
