About this vehicle
The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Ammunition established a master IDIQ for M206 and MJU-7A/B infrared countermeasure flares on February 10, 2021, with ordering closed as of December 31, 2025—the vehicle is no longer active. Eight task orders worth $83.4 million in combined potential value have been awarded across Kilgore Flares Company LLC and Armtec Countermeasures Co, with $135.2 million obligated against the vehicle (162% of combined potential value, reflecting significant scope growth or repricing).
The vehicle procures infrared countermeasure flares for aircraft protection against heat-seeking missiles. The M206 (a one-inch by one-inch by eight-inch magnesium and Teflon integral flare in a metal case) protects helicopters and low-altitude aircraft including AH-64, UH-60, and CH-47 variants, as well as A-10, F-16, and C-130 airframes. The MJU-7A/B (one-inch by two-inch by eight-inch configuration) protects F-16, A-10, and C-130 aircraft; a third flare type, MJU-10/B, was included in the original market research but does not appear in awarded task orders.
Competition remains concentrated between the two award holders, with Kilgore holding 68% of combined potential value across five orders and Armtec holding 32% across three orders. No set-aside applies; all eight orders are unrestricted competitive awards. Customer concentration is absolute—all orders fund the Army's PEO Ammunition.
Ordering activity averaged 1.6 orders per year from 2021 through 2025, with no pattern suggesting acceleration. Recent orders span typical durations from six months to twenty months and range in ceiling value from $4.3 million to $18.5 million. The most recent deliveries closed in December 2025 and carry completion dates through July 2027. No successor vehicle is identified in the source.
