About Cartridge Actuated Devices Inc.

Cartridge Actuated Devices Inc. (C A D), a subsidiary of Fike Corporation, is a specialized manufacturer of energetic devices and pyrotechnic components located in Fairfield, New Jersey. The company primarily serves the federal government, specializing in producing complex and critical safety components for military applications, including explosive bolts, cable cutters, impulse cartridges, fire extinguisher cartridges, and other precision-engineered energetic devices. Registered in SAM.gov since 2002, C A D is a for-profit organization that has established itself as a key supplier to various defense agencies, offering sophisticated technological solutions for naval vessels, aircraft, and weapon systems.

The company has secured numerous prime federal contract awards predominantly from military agencies, particularly the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), Department of the Navy, Air Force Test Center, and U.S. Coast Guard. These contracts range from small purchase orders to multi-million dollar definitive contracts, with values typically between $50,000 and $1.2 million. While most awards are not set aside, C A D has occasionally received total small business set-aside contracts. The goods provided include specialized items like explosive valve assemblies, impulse cartridges for specific aircraft models (F-5E, T-38A), cable cutter housings, squibs, and components for torpedo and parachute release systems. C A D has also performed subcontract work for prime contractors like BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P., supplying materials and services across multiple contract cycles.

Cartridge Actuated Devices Inc. holds three significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) that provide flexibility for federal agencies to procure their specialized products. The first is a $249,999.99 single-award IDV with the Department of the Navy's Aviation agency, focused on cable cutter housings and set to expire in March 2027. The second is a $269,835 small business IDV with the Air Force Test Center for squibs, valid through February 2028, which has already generated two delivery orders totaling $129,997.40. The third and largest IDV is a $4,052,100 single-award contract with NAVSEA for M934 and MK17 explosive products, set to conclude in May 2026. These IDVs demonstrate C A D's strategic positioning as a critical supplier of precision energetic devices across multiple military branches, offering agencies an efficient procurement mechanism for specialized safety and operational components.
