Pyrophoric Device Demonstration
Contact and place of performance
Bradley Axsom
Crane, IN 47522
USA
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.
The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane, acting on behalf of the Joint Services including the Navy, Air Force, and Army, has issued this special notice for a Pyrophoric Device Demonstration. The Department of the Navy requires a special material decoy (SMD) countermeasure to be used independently or in conjunction with existing onboard countermeasures. This initiative addresses a critical need for a new source of pyrophoric devices following the business closure of the previous supplier, Alloy Surfaces, which holds the proprietary rights to current decoys. The government currently lacks an active supplier or a government-owned technical data package for these crucial capabilities.
This requirement is categorized under NAICS code 325998 for All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing and PSC 1370 for Pyrotechnics. There is no set-aside designation associated with this notice. Bradley Axsom serves as the point of contact for this effort, which is identified by solicitation number N0016426SNB81.
Performance is located in Crane, Indiana, and the response deadline for this announcement is July 6, 2026. One attachment titled Pyrophoric Device Demonstration was posted with the notice on June 9, 2026. The objective of this demonstration is to facilitate the development of a new manufacturing source to ensure the continued availability of SMD countermeasure capabilities for the Department of Defense.
