About this award
The Pennsylvania State University has been awarded a $1M cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order by the Naval Air Warfare Center to evaluate the performance and mechanisms of action for corrosion coatings. The work will be performed at Penn State's University Park campus and is scheduled for completion by July 22, 2028. This contract does not utilize set-aside designations, indicating Penn State competed on technical merit. The award supports the Navy's material science capabilities, particularly in developing and validating protective coating technologies critical for naval platforms and equipment exposed to corrosive environments.
Penn State brings substantial expertise in advanced materials research and has an established track record delivering defense-related research and development services to multiple Naval commands and defense agencies. The university's engagement in corrosion coating evaluation aligns with its broader portfolio of materials science and naval technology projects, supporting the Navy's objective to extend asset lifecycle and reduce maintenance costs through enhanced protective systems. As a major public research institution, Penn State leverages interdisciplinary scientific capabilities to address complex technical challenges across defense priorities, and this delivery order represents continued collaboration with Naval Air Warfare Center on material performance characterization and validation.
