About this award
The Naval Air Warfare Center awarded a $239.8K Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Epir, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Bolingbrook, Illinois. This firm fixed-price, total small business set-aside contract is scheduled for completion by October 30, 2026. Epir specializes in advanced infrared sensor technologies, radiation-hardened detectors, and semiconductor materials for defense applications, leveraging molecular beam epitaxy expertise to develop high-performance infrared focal plane arrays and extended shortwave infrared sensors for national security missions.
This Phase I award represents an entry point in the SBIR program, which aims to stimulate technological innovation in small businesses while supporting federal research priorities. Epir's demonstrated track record across multiple defense agencies—including prior Phase II SBIR contracts valued at $1.49M to $1.998M and prime awards totaling approximately $10.4M from the Missile Defense Agency, Office of Naval Research, Air Force Research Laboratory, and Army Research Development and Engineering Command—positions the company to advance sensor technology solutions that support the Naval Air Warfare Center's mission. The contract continuation through the completion date enables the company to conduct critical research and development activities while maintaining its role as a qualified small business partner for federal sensor and detector technology initiatives.
