About the company
Advanced Silicon Carbide Materials LLC, a woman-owned small business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in Lihue, Hawaii, manufactures advanced silicon carbide optical and ceramic materials for defense directed energy and missile defense applications, operating primarily as a prime contractor (67% of recent awards) on competitively awarded defense R&D contracts with the Missile Defense Agency and Naval Strategic Systems Programs.
The vendor's customer footprint is tightly concentrated in defense R&D. The Missile Defense Agency dominates, holding 6 of 9 total awards worth $19.2 million in combined potential value — nearly all of the vendor's prime contract volume. The Department of the Navy's Strategic Systems Programs accounts for 2 awards totaling $1.4 million, and the Department of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command rounds out the active customer set with 1 award. The concentration is consistent across both award-count and potential-value rankings; MDA is the driving customer by margin. All nine awards fall under a single NAICS category: Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology), with the majority classified as National Defense R&D Services for experimental, applied, or basic research in support of DoD military programs.
Recent prime work centers on laser weapon and directed energy optics. A $3.84 million cost-plus-fixed-fee research contract from MDA (awarded December 2024, completing October 2026) covers development of beam steering optics capabilities for laser weapons and reflects the agency's characterization that Advanced Silicon Carbide Materials has accumulated over $19 million in prior MDA prime awards focused on adaptive optics designs and transparent silicon carbide windows for defense applications, including work supporting the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system. A $3.5 million MDA cost-plus-fixed-fee contract from June 2023 (completing March 2026) addresses laser weapons optics technical risk mitigation. Naval Strategic Systems Programs awarded a $1.2 million definitive contract (cost-plus-fixed-fee, total small business set-aside) on March 30, 2026, for work completing September 2027, and a $239,954 SBIR Phase I award in May 2024 for advanced ceramic and optical systems research.
The vendor enters the next twenty-four months with two awards scheduled for completion (combined potential value $5 million), creating moderate recompete exposure. In the subcontractor role, Advanced Silicon Carbide Materials performs silicon carbide coating and additive manufacturing work under HRL Laboratories on two separate MDA-funded contracts focused on mirror substrates and hypersonic composite structures (most recent sub award December 2025), and provides parts manufacturing and integration design support to Wyzkyds Consulting LLC on an MDA Phase III SBIR Gun Launched Interceptor program. The vendor's capability profile is laser-focused on materials science and optical engineering for next-generation directed energy and missile defense systems, with all work performed at the Lihue, Hawaii facility.
