The Department of the Army has awarded a $250,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Talostech LLC, a minority-owned battery technology firm based in Delaware. This definitive contract with firm fixed pricing is set aside for small businesses under Topic A244-P063, focused on batteries and open research innovation. The award was made on March 17, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 17, 2025, and the work will be performed in New Castle, Delaware. Talostech specializes in advanced battery materials, architectures, and manufacturing technologies for challenging and extreme environments, positioning the company to deliver innovative energy storage solutions aligned with DoD priorities.
This SBIR Phase I engagement represents the initial exploratory stage of Talostech's research efforts for the Army. As a registered small business with established experience securing federal contracts from the Department of the Army, NASA, and the Department of the Air Force, Talostech brings proven expertise in cutting-edge battery technology development. The contract supports the Department of Defense's commitment to fostering innovation through small business participation, with potential for Phase II expansion pending successful Phase I results. The six-month performance period reflects the typical timeline for SBIR Phase I feasibility studies, which assess the scientific and technical merit of proposed approaches before advancing to more comprehensive development phases.
