About this opportunity
The Naval Sea Systems Command issued a Special Notice on June 9, 2026, announcing a requirement to develop a new source for pyrophoric special material decoy (SMD) countermeasures, with responses due by July 6, 2026. The Joint Services—Navy, Air Force, and Army—require SMD countermeasures for independent use or in conjunction with onboard countermeasures. The current producer, Alloy Surfaces, which holds intellectual proprietary rights to the existing pyrophoric decoys, is closing its business, leaving the Department of the Navy without an active supplier or government-owned technical data package for this critical capability. The notice seeks industry capability to fill this gap and establish a sustainable source for pyrophoric device manufacturing. NAICS 325998 (All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing) and PSC 1370 (Pyrotechnics) apply.
Notice text
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.
