About this award

The U.S. government awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract valued at $149,079 to Opterus Research and Development, Inc. for development of a mast system suitable for extreme environments. This Total Small Business set-aside contract was awarded on September 29, 2025, by a civilian federal agency and is scheduled for completion by March 27, 2026. The work will be performed in Loveland, Colorado, where Opterus maintains its headquarters as a small business specializing in advanced aerospace technologies and deployable structures for space and defense applications.

Opterus brings significant relevant experience to this effort, having established itself as a key innovator in aerospace component development through multiple SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs with agencies including NASA, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Department of the Navy, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The company's track record includes development of deployable spacecraft structures, advanced composites, and precision tension systems.
