About this award

Marine Acoustics Inc., a Rhode Island-based scientific and engineering company specializing in underwater sensing and marine acoustics, was awarded a $239,673 Firm Fixed Price contract by the Naval Sea Systems Command on July 10, 2025, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I program. The award, designated as a total small business set-aside, addresses SBIR Phase I Topic #251-047 related to Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) High research and development, with an ultimate completion date of July 5, 2026. While Marine Acoustics Inc. typically focuses on naval underwater technologies and marine sensing applications, this contract represents the company's participation in the broader SBIRS High Major Defense Acquisition Program, a critical DoD initiative providing persistent infrared surveillance and missile warning capabilities for national security.

SBIRS High, managed under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway with an Acquisition Category IC designation, encompasses both space and ground segments requiring significant technological advancement in infrared sensors, data processing, and automation systems. The program supports numerous small business innovations through SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer awards administered by the Naval Sea Systems Command and Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center. Marine Acoustics Inc.'s Phase I award, while modest in value relative to the program's larger contracts, contributes to the ecosystem of research and development supporting this critical national security system. Performance will be conducted in Middletown, Rhode Island.
