What Armag does

Armag Corporation designs, engineers, and manufactures purpose-built secure modular facilities from a 40-acre secured production campus in Bardstown, Kentucky, where it has operated continuously since 1969. Its product portfolio spans four interlocking categories: Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) certified to ICD 705 / TEMPEST; HEMP and EMP shielded facilities meeting MIL-STD-188-125-1A or -2; high-security modular data centers with optional SCIF or HEMP accreditation and Tier I–IV redundancy; and explosives storage and arms storage magazines/armories for military and commercial end users. Core construction technology is continuously welded 1/4-inch steel with proprietary shielding seams and a bolt-together multiplex truss system supporting clear-spanning interiors up to 5,000 sq. ft.; the 3-Bar Earth Covered Magazine is the first prefabricated steel-box ECM to receive DDESB Protective Construction designation, and standard magazines carry UL 752 Level 5 ballistic certification with an upgradeable path to Level 8.

The company sells primarily to the U.S. Department of Defense and intelligence community — the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Defense Intelligence Agency, Missile Defense Agency / Lockheed Martin (Guam Defense System), and law enforcement agencies — with select adjacent customers in mining, construction, demolition, pyrotechnic industries, and commercial maritime (cruise line shipboard pyrotechnic magazines). Federal procurement is anchored by a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract (N0017422D0031) awarded in September 2022 through the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head (NSWC IHD) EOD Technology Center, under which NSWC SMEs are stationed onsite to certify compliance; government purchases flow through MIPR/IAA without competitive bidding. Commercial customers transact through website quote requests and direct phone/email sales. All products are custom manufactured with no standard pricing, and revenue is generated exclusively through one-time hardware sales rather than subscription or recurring contracts.

Core offering

Armag designs, engineers, and manufactures purpose-built secure modular facilities—including SCIFs, HEMP/EMP shielded facilities, modular data centers, explosives storage magazines, and portable armories—using continuously welded 1/4" steel construction and proprietary bolt-together truss/seam systems. Products are custom-manufactured in 8 to 5,000 sq. ft. configurations to meet U.S. military, ATF, ICD 705, and MIL-STD specifications, and are sold to defense, intelligence, and commercial customers via direct sales and an NSWC IHD IDIQ contract.

Product overview

Armag designs, engineers, and manufactures purpose-built secure modular facilities as a portfolio of interconnected product lines. The core offerings include SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities) for classified information protection, HEMP/EMP Shielded Facilities for electromagnetic protection, and High-Security Modular Data Centers with optional SCIF or HEMP shielding. Supporting product lines encompass Explosives Storage Magazines for military (Portable, Earth Covered ECM, Air Transport, EOD, K9 CETASM, Grenade, Ammunition Inspection) and commercial applications (Outdoor, Indoor, Day Boxes, IME/DOT), as well as Armories/Weapons Storage (Portable Armories, FOBA, Weapons Cleaning Stations). The 3-Bar Earth Covered Magazine represents a breakthrough as the first prefabricated ECM with DDESB protective construction designation. Products are available through standard configurations or custom manufacturing, with expedited government acquisition via IDIQ contract. All products feature rugged steel construction, modular/relocatable design, and compliance with military and regulatory specifications.
