DoD Purchase Order to Accurate Energetic Systems
What This Image Shows
A screenshot of a USAspending.gov award profile, with two areas outlined in red. The record reads: Purchase Order, PIID N0016425PJ538, Awarding Agency Department of Defense, Recipient ACCURATE ENERGETIC SYSTEMS, LLC, 5891 HIGHWAY 230 W, MC EWEN, TN 37101-3971, Congressional District TN-07. Award amounts are $440,494 obligated and $440,494 current. The status reads Completed. The highlighted Dates block gives a start date of May 01, 2025 and a current and potential end date of Aug 25, 2025. The highlighted Description reads: REQUIREMENT IS FOR MINIATURIZED-S DEMOLITION CHARGES AND DEMOLITION CHARGES, ANTI PERSONNEL-S TO SUPPORT SPM. The classification codes read NAICS 3259 Other Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing, 325920 explosives manufacturing, and PSC 1375 DEMOLITION MATERIALS.
This is a public federal spending record and it is checkable. The two red boxes mark the elements researchers rely on: the delivery window ending August 25, 2025, roughly two weeks before September 10, 2025, and the description of miniaturized and anti-personnel demolition charges. Investigation notes record the claim that this is the only contract of its kind on the platform since records began, and that a rare private flight ran from Heber City, Utah to Nashville, Tennessee — the closest airport to the facility — on the exact delivery date.
What the record establishes is that a small explosives contract existed with those dates and that description. It establishes nothing about who received the product, where it went, or whether it has any connection to any event. The inference chain built on top of it belongs to the researchers making it.
