About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $1.25 million Small Business Technology Transfer Phase II contract to Aquagga Inc., a Tacoma, Washington-based small business, on September 19, 2023, for development of molecularly imprinted polymers for a real-time per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) sensor. The contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and operates under firm fixed-price terms with an ultimate completion date of September 19, 2025. The Phase II effort builds on earlier STTR Phase I work, advancing sensor technology to detect PFAS—persistent synthetic chemicals commonly known as "forever chemicals" that contaminate water, soil, and other environmental matrices at military installations and federal facilities.
Aquagga specializes in PFAS remediation and destruction through its proprietary hydrothermal alkaline treatment technology and has established itself as a significant federal contractor with over $8.5 million in prime contract awards across multiple defense and civilian agencies. The company's federal portfolio includes complementary PFAS-related contracts from the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Army Research and Development Engineering Command, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Defense, and the Environmental Protection Agency, reflecting sustained government investment in addressing PFAS contamination challenges. This AFRL contract represents a key component of Aquagga's technology development strategy, positioning the company to deliver innovative sensing capabilities that support real-time detection and monitoring of PFAS contamination at federal facilities.
