About this award
Auburn University has been awarded a $1M definitive firm fixed price contract by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop micro specimens of electroplated copper and micro-sized lead-free solder for mechanical testing to fracture. The work will be performed at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2029. This contract, which was competitively awarded without set-aside designation, supports NIST's mission to advance measurement science and standards by providing specialized material characterization capabilities essential for studying solder reliability and mechanical properties relevant to electronics manufacturing and interconnect performance.
The contract represents Auburn University's continued engagement with federal agencies in advanced materials research and specialized laboratory services. As a land-grant research institution with extensive experience in materials characterization—including prior work on additively manufactured alloys for NASA and radiation hardened microelectronics testing for the Missile Defense Agency—Auburn University is well-positioned to deliver the technical expertise required for this precision materials development effort. The five-year contract timeline reflects the iterative nature of specimen development and testing methodologies necessary to generate robust mechanical data on lead-free solder systems, which remain critical to electronics reliability standards and manufacturing practices.
