About this award
Black Sand Solutions LLC has been awarded a $172,521 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract by a civilian federal agency to develop ATHENA (Autonomous Technology for Habitat Environmental Navigation and Assistance). The contract is structured as a definitive firm fixed-price agreement with an ultimate completion date of March 27, 2026, following the award date of September 29, 2025. The work will be performed in Kahului, Hawaii.
This Phase I SBIR award is designated as a total small business set-aside, which restricts competition to qualifying small business entities and provides funding for early-stage research and development. The SBIR program is designed to stimulate technological innovation in the small business sector by providing opportunities to explore the feasibility of innovative concepts before advancing to larger Phase II development contracts. The autonomous technology focus suggests the project may involve developing systems for habitat navigation and environmental monitoring capabilities.
