Pyrophoric Device Demonstration
Contact and place of performance

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, issued this special notice for a Pyrophoric Device Demonstration. The Department of Defense requires a new source for special material decoy (SMD) pyrophoric countermeasures to be used independently or with onboard systems. This requirement follows the closure of the previous sole supplier, Alloy Surfaces, which holds the intellectual proprietary rights to the current decoys. Because the government does not possess a technical data package for these devices, there is a critical need to establish a new manufacturing source for this countermeasure capability.
This opportunity is classified under NAICS 325998, All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing, and PSC 1370, Pyrotechnics. There is no set-aside designated for this requirement. The primary place of performance is Crane, Indiana, and the government has provided one attachment titled Pyrophoric Device Demonstration.
