About this award
The Office of Naval Research awarded a $1.338 million definitive firm fixed-price contract to Piezo Kinetics, Inc. on September 9, 2025, for development of textured ceramic materials exhibiting near-single-crystal piezoelectric performance at reduced cost.
The contract covers four years of performance through September 9, 2029, focused on scaling manganese-doped PMN-PZT textured ceramics from laboratory scale toward production-ready materials suitable for naval sensor, actuator, and transducer applications. Place of performance is Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. The solicitation description emphasizes PKI's laboratory-demonstrated ability to produce textured ceramic materials that deliver performance comparable to single-crystal piezoelectrics at a fraction of traditional material costs, positioning the effort as a cost-reduction pathway for defense applications requiring high-performance piezoelectric components.
