About the company
Advanced Functional Fabrics Of America, Inc., a non-profit organization headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts with operations in Cambridge, develops specialized textile and advanced materials solutions for Department of Defense, NASA, and Department of Agriculture customers as a prime contractor (64% of recent awards) and subcontractor to defense research primes. AFFOA operates outside set-aside categories and competes on full-and-open basis; its federal portfolio spans textile innovation, protective equipment manufacturing, and materials science research across both contracts and grants.
AFFOA's customer concentration reflects defense and civil R&D focus. The Department of the Navy dominates potential value at $21.1 million through a single $21.1 million Other Transaction Agreement with the Office of Naval Research for scaling textiles and advanced materials modernization, scheduled through August 2026. The Office of the Secretary of Defense anchors a prior $9.9 million Other Transaction Agreement for wearable sensor demonstrations. The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service holds two cooperative-agreement grants (Phase 3 and Phase 4) for developing rugged fully encapsulating T5 biosafety suits, with the Phase 4 award of $133,327 issued August 2026 and completing February 2028. NASA placed a $20,177 purchase order in January 2024 for embroidered strain sensors to enhance parachutes. The National Institute of Standards and Technology funded a $605,520 grant award through 2026 for biodegradable PPE development and automated manufacturing cells, with planned sub-awards for materials thrust work. Eight distinct customer agencies appear across the recent portfolio.
AFFOA holds a position on an Indefinite Delivery Contract (N0014004D0011) under the Department of the Navy with two task orders issued to date. The ONR scaling-textiles work represents AFFOA's largest active delivery, positioned as a multi-year strategic initiative to strengthen domestic textile manufacturing capacity and advance material technologies for naval and broader DoD requirements. Activity shows one award in 2022, three in 2023, declining to one in 2024, then resuming with one in 2025 and two in 2026; combined potential value across all eleven awards totals $31.1 million, with only one award facing completion within the next twenty-four months. In its subcontractor role, AFFOA performs materials research and development work under Valkyrie Enterprises LLC, including an MIT Lincoln Laboratory research subcontract awarded December 2023 and an IGF task order research subcontract issued November 2025. AFFOA's capability portfolio centers on embroidered and electrospun textile innovation, wearable sensors, protective suit fabrication and production, biodegradable PPE materials development, and automated manufacturing-cell design for surge production of protective equipment.
