About this award
The Defense Logistics Agency Strategic Materials awarded a $504,000 definitive contract to Lightpath Technologies, Inc. for research and development to qualify chalcogenide optical materials as substitutes for germanium in infrared imaging systems on September 24, 2024.
The originating Broad Agency Announcement seeks to address supply chain vulnerabilities by qualifying domestic strategic and critical materials for defense systems across six key technology areas, including aeronautical, armor, and energy materials. This award addresses the specific need to develop drop-in replacements that reduce dependence on unreliable foreign sources. Place of performance is Fort Belvoir, VA. The contract carries a firm fixed price structure with an ultimate completion date of May 23, 2027. The solicitation, posted March 28, 2024, anticipated multiple awards across a range of values, with individual contracts not expected to exceed $3,000,000, though the agency reserved discretion to fund only a percentage of proposed costs for future acquisitions under the announcement.
