verification note: Verified 2026-08-25 by direct fetch of the USAspending API record (api.usaspending.gov/api/v2/awards/CONT_AWD_N0016425PJ538_9700_-NONE-_-NONE-/); all quoted fields verbatim from the API JSON. Keyword-uniqueness searches run directly against the search API the same day.
reliability notes: A procurement record establishes that a purchase order exists — nothing about end use. The description's 'TO SUPPORT SPM' is unexplained in the record.

Evidence drawn from this source

what the source states: Award N0016425PJ538: description verbatim "REQUIREMENT IS FOR MINIATURIZED-XS DEMOLITION CHARGES AND DEMOLITION CHARGES, ANTI PERSONNEL-XS TO SUPPORT SPM."; recipient "ACCURATE ENERGETIC SYSTEMS, LLC", McEwen TN; total obligation $440,494; signed 2025-04-22; period of performance 2025-05-01 to 2025-08-25; awarding office NSWC Crane (Navy); NAICS 325920 (explosives manufacturing); PSC 1375 (demolition materials); type "PURCHASE ORDER"; competed under SAP, one offer received.
what we infer: The record is real and verbatim as the compilation quotes it. It establishes a purchase order's existence — not its end use, not any connection to any person, place, or event in this case. Note the compilation's "awarded May 1" is the performance start; the award was signed April 22.
limitations: 'TO SUPPORT SPM' is unexplained in the record; resolving the program office is part of KRK-R012.

what the source states: Live keyword searches of the USAspending award-search API (2007-10-01 through 2026-08-25) for "MINIATURIZED-XS" and for "ANTI PERSONNEL-XS" each returned exactly one result: N0016425PJ538. The API states its earliest searchable date is 2007-10-01.
what we infer: "Only such contract since 2008" replicates — with caveats that belong on the record: contract types A–D only (not IDVs, grants, or subawards), and keyword search would miss the same items described in different words. Uniqueness of a phrase is weaker than uniqueness of a capability.
limitations: Hyphenated-token matching behavior of the search engine was not independently characterized.
