About this award
Novex, LLC has been awarded a $248,122.61 firm fixed-price contract by the Department of the Army to conduct Phase I research and development under Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Topic A244-055 for advanced pyrometallurgical feedstock processing to produce germanium concentrates. This is a total small business set-aside contract with a completion date of August 19, 2025, and work will be performed in Blaine, Washington. The SBIR program is a highly competitive initiative that encourages small businesses to explore innovative solutions in technology areas of interest to federal agencies, with Phase I focused on establishing technical feasibility and merit of proposed concepts.
Germanium concentrate production through advanced pyrometallurgical processing addresses the Department of the Army's interest in domestic material supply chains and critical mineral recovery. The research and development conducted under this Phase I effort will likely establish proof-of-concept for processing techniques that could support defense industrial base requirements and reduce reliance on foreign sources for this strategically important material. Should the Phase I results prove successful, there is potential for progression to subsequent phases of SBIR funding for further development and commercialization.
