The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division, is seeking to develop a new source for pyrophoric special material decoy (SMD) countermeasures used by the Navy, Air Force, and Army. These countermeasures are essential for protecting military assets by functioning independently or alongside onboard defense systems. Previously, Alloy Surfaces was the sole producer of these pyrophoric devices, holding proprietary rights, but their closure has left a critical capability gap as there is no existing government-owned technical data package or active supplier. The contract titled "Pyrophoric Device Demonstration" has a solicitation number N0016426SNB81 and was posted on June 9, 2026, with responses due by July 6, 2026. This is a special notice issued by the Department of Defense's NSWC Crane office located in Crane, Indiana. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 325998, involving chemical manufacturing related to the pyrophoric materials needed. Interested parties can contact Bradley Axsom or Judy Blanton for more information and are encouraged to respond promptly due to the essential nature of this countermeasure in defense operations.

Full Description

Show more

The Joint Services (Navy, Air Force, & Army) requires a special material decoy (SMD) countermeasure to use independently or in conjunction with onboard countermeasures. The current SMD (pyrophoric) countermeasures were developed and produced by Alloy Surfaces, which has intellectual proprietary rights to the decoys. Alloy surfaces have decided to close their business which leaves the DoW without a producer of pyrophoric countermeasures. Without having an active supplier or a GOV owned TDP of pyrophoric devices, the DoW has a major need to develop a new source for this crucial countermeasure capability.
