About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded Biomason Inc., a small business specializing in sustainable biocement production, a $2.24 million firm fixed-price Definitive Contract for Runway and Airfield Augmentation (RAM) research services. This Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract, set aside for total small business, was awarded on May 14, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2025. The work will be performed in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, and represents a continuation of Biomason's previously funded Phase I and Phase II efforts to advance biotechnology-based solutions for airfield infrastructure. The no-cost Statement of Work change reflects adjustments to project scope while maintaining the overall contract ceiling value.
Biomason's biotechnology platform harnesses microorganisms to grow sustainable structural cement materials, providing a stronger and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cement. This contract supports the Air Force Materiel Command's strategic objective to advance airfield infrastructure technologies through innovative materials science. The award aligns with the Department of Defense's broader investment in Biomason's biological materials research, which has also garnered significant funding from the Army and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for related biocement development initiatives.
