About this award
The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a definitive contract to Applied Research Associates, Inc. for advancing technical capabilities of laser separation of critical materials on March 5, 2026, with a ceiling value of $299,999, under the Strategic Materials BAA SP4701-25-B-0001.
The procurement is cost-plus-fixed-fee and carries no set-aside. Place of performance is Littleton, Colorado. The originating BAA, posted January 15, 2025 with a due date of March 15, 2025, seeks research and development proposals to restore and stabilize strategic and critical materials supply chains. The BAA addresses emerging requirements to mitigate single points of failure in supply chains, reduce dependence on unreliable foreign sources, and replace legacy or obsolete materials through material and production process substitutes or drop-in replacements. Areas of interest include energetic materials, energy and power materials, armor materials, stable isotopes, paints and coatings, mining and refining processes, and recycling and substitution options. The five-year BAA period runs through January 4, 2027 for this award. The broader BAA carries a $700 million ceiling and authorizes cost-type contracts and SBIR III proposals across an unrestricted (full-and-open) competition. The NAICS code is 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences). Amendment 0003, effective August 17, 2026, increased the BAA ceiling from $95 million to $700 million and incorporated revised clauses from the Revolutionary FAR/DFARS Overhaul. FAR 52.222-90 was added to this award by modification P00003.
