About this award
Engineering And Software System Solutions, Inc. (ES3), a San Diego-based woman-owned small business, was awarded a $363,072 firm fixed-price definitive contract by the Air Force through the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex to develop cadmium plating replacement technology using alkaline zinc-nickel coating processes. This Small Business Innovation Research Phase III award, designated as a total small business set-aside, represents the culmination of ES3's multi-phase research into environmentally compliant alternative plating technologies for military aircraft components. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of December 12, 2024, builds upon ES3's demonstrated expertise in corrosion prevention and specialty metal plating for aerospace applications, positioning the company to advance the Air Force's broader objectives of reducing hazardous materials in maintenance and repair operations while maintaining strict military performance specifications.
This award reflects the Air Force's continued investment in innovative coating solutions that address environmental and health concerns associated with legacy plating processes. ES3's selection underscores the company's established track record in coating technology development, evidenced by parallel SBIR awards including a $1.71 million contract for chromium and cobalt-free conversion coating alternatives and a $374,973 contract for dripless brush zinc-nickel electroplating technology. The work performed at ES3's Warner Robins, Georgia facility will directly support Air Force aircraft sustainment operations and contribute to the Department of Defense's broader materials innovation objectives within the small business research and development ecosystem.
