About this award

The Pennsylvania State University received a $2.0M delivery order contract from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) for development work related to cold spray transition. The contract, awarded on September 4, 2025, operates under a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with an ultimate completion date of September 3, 2028. The work will be performed at Penn State's University Park campus in Pennsylvania. This delivery order represents a parent contract, indicating it may be part of a larger indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) vehicle or serve as the primary contract for this specific effort. No set-aside designation was utilized in this award, meaning Penn State competed based on technical merit and demonstrated capability.

Cold spray technology represents an advanced materials processing and coating application method with significant military applications, particularly for naval systems maintenance, repair, and modernization. NAVSEA's investment in cold spray transition development aligns with the Navy's modernization priorities and efforts to enhance vessel durability, reduce maintenance costs, and extend fleet service life. Penn State's selection reflects the university's established track record as a premier research institution supporting defense applications, including materials science, advanced manufacturing, and naval technology development. The university's extensive collaboration with Naval Sea Systems Command on prior research and development initiatives positions it well to advance cold spray capabilities toward operational implementation for naval platforms.
