The Department of the Army awarded a $1.36 million definitive contract to Interphase Materials, Inc. for development of a next-generation PFAS-free omniphobic coating platform engineered for military textiles on June 15, 2026, under a total small business set-aside.
The contract is firm fixed price with an ultimate completion date of June 14, 2028. Place of performance is Pittsburgh, PA. The originating solicitation calls for development of a PFAS-free omniphobic coating platform designed specifically for military textile applications, addressing the Army's need for advanced materials without per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
Interphase Materials is a small business manufacturer of advanced materials and specialized coatings headquartered in Pittsburgh. The company has prior federal research and development experience through SBIR and STTR awards, including a December 2024 STTR Phase I contract from the Army's Research, Development and Engineering Command for biosynthetic omniphobic technologies for DoD clothing and equipment without fluorine or perfluorinated compounds, which directly aligns with this definitive award's scope.
