About this award
The Shared Services Center (Civilian) awarded a $984,962 definitive contract to Physical Sciences Inc. for development of a ground-based uplink and beacon laser for long-range communication under FY23 SBIR Phase II on June 27, 2023, under a total small business set-aside.
Place of performance is Andover, MA. The originating SBIR solicitation calls for development of advanced laser and optical systems for ground-based communications applications. Period of performance extends to December 1, 2026.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT Lincoln Laboratory) subcontracts on the effort, developing untapered double-clad large-mode-area ytterbium-doped-silica fiber with specified core and cladding dimensions for delivery to the prime for characterization.
Government-invoiced labor through FY2025 totaled $800 thousand across 1.7 FTEs. FY2024 labor was invoiced at $478.22 per hour. The prime self-performed all reported hours; subcontractor engagement in SCI-reportable labor was minimal. FY2025 footprint contracted to 0.1 FTEs, reflecting the contract's approach to completion before the December 2026 ultimate completion date.
