Ezekiel Bahar

Ezekiel Bahar, doing business as C.r. Supply CO., manufactures and supplies specialized chemical materials and explosives precursors to defense agencies as a prime contractor, with all ten awards in recent years held at the prime level and no subcontract footprint. The West Hills, California-based sole proprietorship is a small business competing full-and-open, with no set-aside designations across most of its portfolio except for a single small-business set-aside purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command; the vendor operates under NAICS codes spanning Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing, All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing, and Explosives Manufacturing.

Customer concentration centers on defense production and research agencies. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command dominates the footprint with four awards accounting for $17.1 million of the $17.9 million combined potential value (95% of portfolio dollars), driven by an $8.6 million Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded February 24, 2025, running through March 2028 for Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene Type II Liquid (R45 HTLO) to support the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command has placed four awards totaling $304 thousand for explosive precursors (normal lead styphnate, tetracene) and specialty chemical materials (aluminum oxide, MK 70M push ingredient) supporting research at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory has awarded two purchases totaling $481 thousand for metal and boron powders delivered to Edwards Air Force Base. Recent activity shows three delivery orders under the Army IDC (valued at $2.3 million, $3.4 million, and $2.9 million) issued through February 2026 for polybutadiene supply to McAlester.

The vendor's current portfolio spans eight awards against Chemicals PSC codes and two against explosives-related commodities. Activity has grown in 2025 (four awards) from one or two awards per prior year, with $9.4 million obligated against $17.9 million in potential value across the base. No parent vehicles beyond the Army IDC appear in the recent award history; the vendor does not hold seats on government-wide contract vehicles.
