About this award
The U.S. Air Force awarded a $400,331 Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to Engineering and Software System Solutions, Inc. (ES3), a woman-owned small business headquartered in San Diego, California, on May 13, 2024. The contract, which runs through September 30, 2026, funds development of zirconium-based pretreatment technologies as a non-chromium alternative under SBIR Topic AF221-DCSO1. The work will be performed at Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex in Georgia, which serves as the contracting activity under the Air Force Materiel Command. This award does not include a small business set-aside designation, though ES3 maintains SBA certification as a women-owned small business.
ES3 specializes in aerospace engineering, advanced manufacturing, and materials research and development, with particular expertise in innovative coating and plating technologies for defense applications. The zirconium-based pretreatment initiative aligns with the company's demonstrated capabilities in developing environmentally conscious alternatives to hazardous manufacturing processes, including previous work on trivalent chromium substitutes for hexavalent chromium plating. This Phase III award represents the commercialization phase of the SBIR program, positioning ES3 to transition the technology from development into production-ready solutions for military aircraft sustainment and manufacturing applications across the Air Force enterprise.
