Definitive Contract N0001425C1328

The Office of Naval Research awarded a definitive, firm fixed-price contract to CTS Corporation valued at $2.0 million to improve reproducibility and manufacturing efficiency for ring-shaped geometries utilizing CTS T4001 textured piezoelectric ceramic material. The contract, effective through September 2029, will be performed at CTS Corporation's facility in Lisle, Illinois. This award reflects the Navy's continued investment in advanced ceramic component manufacturing, an area critical to the development of sensors, transducers, and actuators used across naval platforms and systems.

CTS Corporation, a global manufacturer of sensors, electronic components, and actuators, brings extensive experience in ceramic component production for defense applications. The company has previously supplied ceramic materials including rings, bars, disks, and elements to both prime contractors and defense agencies such as the Naval Sea Systems Command. This contract does not include any small business set-aside designation and positions CTS Corporation to enhance manufacturing capabilities that support the Navy's broader requirements for high-performance piezoelectric components in underwater and electronic warfare applications.
