About this award
The U.S. Army Research Development and Engineering Command awarded a cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order to Phoenix LLC, a small business specializing in neutron-based technologies, for the performance characterization and development of advanced neutron detection systems. The contract, valued at $5.95 million with a completion date of July 31, 2027, encompasses the design, build, and test of a fast neutron detector and Generation 3.1 system (Army5) to be installed at Picatinny Arsenal. Additionally, the contract includes performance characterization of the Phoenix High-Yield Generation 3.0 prototype and operator training on the resulting system. This set-aside award for small businesses leverages Phoenix LLC's demonstrated expertise in neutron detection and radiation effects evaluation, capabilities the company has developed through prior engagements with the Department of Defense and other federal agencies since its SAM.gov registration in 2005.
Phoenix LLC, a subsidiary of Shine Technologies based in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, brings substantial technical depth to this engagement, having previously delivered neutron imaging, non-destructive testing, and advanced diagnostic sensor design services across multiple defense-related programs. The contractor's background in developing neutron radiography capabilities, imaging processing software, and specialized inspection techniques for aerospace and defense applications positions it well to meet the technical requirements for detector development and characterization at the Picatinny Arsenal location in Madison, Wisconsin. The delivery order structure and cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing provide flexibility for this research and development effort while maintaining government cost controls through the fixed fee component.
