About this award

Engineering And Software System Solutions, Inc. (ES3), a woman-owned small business headquartered in San Diego, California, was awarded a $374,845 firm fixed-price Definitive Contract by the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex on May 21, 2025, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase III action. This total small business set-aside contract, with an ultimate completion date of November 14, 2026, funds the development and implementation of the Brush Thin Film Sulfuric Acid Anodizing (TFSAA) process. The TFSAA process is designed to supplement existing tank anodize processes for aerospace applications, enabling touch-up anodizing of aircraft component areas that cannot be treated through standard immersion plating methods without removing components from the aircraft. This innovation addresses a critical capability gap in aircraft maintenance and sustainment operations.

The Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, located in Georgia and operating under Air Force Materiel Command, is responsible for the logistics and sustainment of military aircraft systems. ES3's expertise in advanced coating technologies, aerospace manufacturing, and specialized metal plating processes positions the company well for this Phase III SBIR contract, which represents the commercialization phase of the innovation development process. This award builds upon ES3's established track record of federal contracting in aerospace and defense applications, where the company has demonstrated capabilities across multiple technical domains including corrosion prevention, additive manufacturing, and specialized surface treatment technologies.

Description

The brush thin film sulfuric acid anodizing (tfsaa) process directly supplements the tank anodize processes and allows for touch UPS on areas that are unable to be plated via immersion and without the removal of components on aircraft.
