Interested sources should be capable of providing thin film, reactive materials that can generate large quantities of heat upon initiation. These materials must be able to generate peak temperatures on the order of 1000C-2000C upon ignition by either flame or electrical spark.

Additionally, the material must reach peak temperature within a few milliseconds after initiation. These materials should be commercially available and be delivered to ARDEC within a few weeks of placing an order. The Government may enter into one or multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements as a result of this notice.

All information is to be submitted via e-mail at no cost or obligation to the Government; information provided will not be returned. All responses shall be in the English Language.
