About this award
The Office of Naval Research awarded an Other Transaction Agreement valued at $7.2 million to the American Lightweight Materials Manufacturing Innovation Institute (LIFT) on June 26, 2025, for Phase III of a project focused on scaling up processes to produce high-quality titanium alloys from domestic ore. This contract, with a completion date of June 25, 2028, represents a continuation of work to advance domestic titanium alloy production capabilities, supporting the Navy's strategic objective of reducing dependence on foreign sources for critical materials and strengthening the industrial base. The award was made through open competition with no set-aside designation, and performance will be conducted at LIFT's facility in Detroit, Michigan.
LIFT, a Detroit-based non-profit public-private partnership specializing in advanced manufacturing technologies, brings substantial experience in materials development and prototype creation for defense applications. The institute's track record includes successful execution of complex research and development projects for the Department of Defense and the Office of Naval Research, spanning lightweight materials, additive manufacturing, and innovative production processes. This Phase III effort builds upon prior phases of the titanium alloy project and positions LIFT to deliver the scaled manufacturing processes necessary to support Navy requirements for advanced structural materials critical to ship construction and other defense platforms.
