About this award
The U.S. Department of the Army awarded a Phase II Sequential Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to Bhawin LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for continued development of dual-band lens technologies under Army Topic #A20-050. This $1.9 million firm fixed-price contract represents a bilateral administrative action extending the company's prior Phase II SBIR effort (W909MY-22-C-0008) with a 6-month no-cost extension through July 31, 2026. The work focuses on reducing lens swap requirements and increasing optical throughput using calcium lanthanum sulphide (CLS) nanopowders and related optical ceramic technologies. The contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, reflecting Bhawin LLC's status and the competitive, innovation-driven nature of the SBIR program.
Bhawin LLC has established itself as a specialized developer of advanced optical ceramic technologies for defense applications, with this award representing the continuation of a sustained technical effort that began under the initial Phase II SBIR contract in January 2022. The company's entire federal contract portfolio, exceeding $3.29 million in combined ceiling value, has been dedicated to advancing dual-band lens optical technologies utilizing CLS nanopowders. All awards have been funded through the Department of the Army and its Naval Strategic Systems Programs division, positioning Bhawin LLC as a key innovator supporting modernization priorities in specialized optical materials and manufacturing processes critical to the Defense Department's mission.
