This is a $3,837,120.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee research and development contract awarded by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to Advanced Silicon Carbide Materials LLC, a woman-owned small business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm. The contract is for the company to provide research and development services in support of innovative missile defense technologies, with a focus on advanced ceramic materials, optics, and high-temperature applications. This award is not set aside and is one of several major prime contracts the company has received from MDA, including a $9.3 million contract for robust adaptive optics designs and a $2.48 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract for research on transparent silicon carbide windows for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) ballistic missile defense system. Advanced Silicon Carbide Materials LLC has also provided subcontractor services, such as chemical vapor deposited silicon carbide (CVC SiC) coating for mirror substrates to prime contractor HRL Laboratories, LLC.
