About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $30.488 million definitive contract to Southwest Research Institute for research and development of hypersonics supply chain capabilities on September 29, 2023, under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing with ultimate completion September 29, 2028.
Place of performance is San Antonio, Texas. The originating solicitation describes research and development focused on hypersonics supply chain research, encompassing equipment procurement, system installation, materials testing, and manufacturing capability development across advanced additive manufacturing, precision metalworking, materials science, and thermal processing domains.
Southwest Research Institute, a San Antonio-based nonprofit research and development organization, delivers this work through a multi-vendor supply chain. Named subcontractors include EOS Of North America for additive manufacturing equipment and powder-handling systems; Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence for precision metrology and laser scanning apparatus; Elementum 3D for specialized aerospace metal powders including Inconel 625; Solar Atmospheres Manufacturing for industrial furnace systems and heat-treatment equipment; Matheson Tri-Gas for bulk cryogenic gas storage and delivery; and a team of specialized equipment and materials suppliers including Hartwig Inc. (precision machining equipment), Solukon Maschinenbau (cleaning and depowdering systems), Dry Coolers Inc. (industrial cooling systems), Clean America Inc. (EDM wire-cut equipment), Fraunhofer USA (laser welding systems), Waygate Technologies (computed tomography inspection systems), Briggs Industrial Solutions (material handling equipment), and Accu-Tech Corporation (battery power modules).
The contract reflects SwRI's capability concentration in applied research, materials testing, aerospace defense hardware design, advanced manufacturing qualification, and systems engineering for emerging technologies including additive manufacturing and propulsion systems. The ceiling value of $30.488 million represents the total contract potential through the five-year performance period.
