Shock TECH Inc.

Shock TECH Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in Mahwah, New Jersey, supplies specialized vibration isolation and shock absorption products — principally resilient mounts, shock mounts, reusable energy abatement pads (REAPs), and mounting hardware — to Department of Defense agencies and NASA primarily as a prime contractor (77% of 155 recent awards) competing predominantly on an unrestricted basis, with selective small business set-asides in SBIR Phase II and Phase III research and development work.

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated in defense platforms and military vessels. The top five funding agencies account for 53% of recent awards by count, led by the Department of the Army with 27 awards ($250 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command with 19 awards ($710 thousand combined potential value). By potential dollar value, however, the ranking shifts: Naval Sea Systems Command leads at $710 thousand across 19 awards, followed by the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory ($550 thousand on 2 awards, anchoring SBIR Phase II and Phase III REAP development work) and Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command ($443 thousand on 18 awards). NASA's Shared Services Center has funded two SBIR Phase II awards totaling $406 thousand, including a $280 thousand contract for the Robust Isolation for Vibration Abating (RIVA) project. Recent prime work includes a $127 thousand March 2026 purchase order from the Department of the Navy for resilient mounts supporting the USNS BYRD main engine exhaust pipe, a $151 thousand February 2024 SBIR Phase III contract from Air Force Special Operations Command for REAP development, a $250 thousand August 2022 SBIR Phase I award from the Department of the Army for M997A3 chassis suspension improvement, and a $280 thousand April 2022 NASA SBIR Phase II contract for vibration isolation research.

Awards are concentrated in small-dollar, part-and-component supply categories: the top NAICS include rubber product manufacturing for mechanical use (14 awards), hardware manufacturing (14 awards), and military armored vehicle component manufacturing (13 awards); PSC-level concentration centers on hardware commercial (39 awards) and hardware weapon system (14 awards). Activity grew from 2022 to 2024 (13 to 21 awards), flattened in 2025 (8 awards), and shows minimal 2026 volume (3 awards to date). Across the prime footprint, the vendor competes full-and-open except on SBIR work, where it holds total small business set-aside status.

In its subcontractor role (35 awards, or 23% of the footprint), Shock TECH supplies vibration mounts and mounting hardware to major defense primes. General Dynamics Land Systems is the largest named sub customer, with multiple 2025 awards for suspension and mounting components supporting M1 Abrams tank variants and SEPV3 upgrades; BAE Systems Land & Armaments has engaged Shock TECH on Bradley A4 vehicle production efforts (multiple 2024–2025 awards); Raytheon Company has used the vendor for vibration isolation work on CIWS (Close-In Weapon System) and Block 1B combat system overhauls; and Lockheed Martin has sourced shock mounts and isolator hardware for shipboard machinery control systems and FY20 AN/SLQ-32 radar shelter integration. Sub work also flows through Northrop Grumman (GBSD and EGI repair support), Oshkosh Defense (JLTV and armored vehicle programs), Science Applications International Corporation (Mobile Command Vehicle production), and The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (SURTASS production systems). The vendor's combined obligated dollars ($10.1 million) exceed combined potential value ($4.2 million by 237%), a signal of mature, recurring production orders with invoiced delivery.
