Ordnance Holdings

What Ordnance Holdings does

Ordnance Holdings, Inc. (OHI) is a HUB Zone certified, Maryland-incorporated small business that provides unexploded ordnance (UXO), munitions response, and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) services and products primarily to U.S. Department of Defense agencies (Army, Navy, Marine Corps), with additional work for USACE, DHS and ATF. Founded in 2001 and operating from Tampa, FL with support offices in Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina, Nevada, and California, the firm is staffed by former military EOD technicians with DDESB TP-18 qualifications and reports sub-1% annual attrition.

OHI's product portfolio centers on the proprietary Holley Stick C-IED command wire recovery family (OHI-1000 base model, OHI-2000 mid-tier, OHI-3000 with telescoping poles providing up to 15 feet of standoff) and a complementary set of niche EOD hardware including the 2.75-inch Rocket Holding Fixture (DLA-listed), EOD Remote Pull Vice Grips, the Advanced Telescoping Manipulation System (ATMS), and an EOD Avatar Training System. Patent-pending common connectors across the Holley Stick line allow mission-specific reconfiguration of modular poles, handles, and end effectors.

The business model combines prime government contract professional services (Navy Seaport-e across Zones 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6; NSWC Indian Head machine-shop contract N00174-14-A-0069; NSWC Crane N00164-16-0014; CTTSO; ATF training) with UXO/MMRP project services (archival research, range clearance, UXO construction/dredging support, explosives safety siting) and direct hardware sales routed through a Client Relations Manager. UXO technician staffing is delivered as a wrapped service inclusive of HR, payroll, insurance and travel coordination. The disclosed individual ID/IQ ceiling of $1M over three years (NAVFAC EXWC) is the only contract-value data point available, and no revenue figure, headcount trend, or external funding is disclosed.
