About this award

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a $7.8 million definitive contract to Lumimove Inc. (doing business as WPC Technologies) on September 2, 2025, for the development of conductive polymer-enhanced cathode active material for lithium-ion batteries. The contract, which carries a ceiling value of $7.8 million and utilizes cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing, is scheduled for completion by September 1, 2028. Performance will be conducted in San Diego, California, and no small business set-aside was applied to this procurement.

This contract supports ONR's technology development initiatives focused on advanced energy storage systems critical to naval applications. The development of enhanced cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries aligns with the Department of Defense's broader objectives to improve energy density, reliability, and performance of power systems for shipboard and expeditionary platforms. The cost-plus-fixed-fee structure allows for flexibility in research and development activities while maintaining cost accountability throughout the three-year performance period.
