About Akita Innovations LLC
Akita Innovations LLC, a small business materials development company based in North Billerica, Massachusetts, delivers advanced materials research, coatings development, and additive manufacturing technologies to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) under total small business set-asides across SBIR and STTR programs. Akita is a for-profit limited liability partnership that competes predominantly in small-business-reserved R&D procurement, with nearly all prime awards carrying total small business set-aside designations.
The vendor's customer concentration is tightly aligned with defense R&D agencies. The top five customers by both award count and potential value account for 77% of awards and 95% of combined potential value. The Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command dominates with 12 awards worth $8.6 million combined potential value, followed by the Naval Sea Systems Command (4 awards, $4.5 million), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (3 awards, $2.6 million), the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (3 awards, $1.5 million), and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (2 awards, $1.1 million). The rankings converge — Army leads both volume and dollars — indicating sustained anchor customer status rather than a few large awards propping up one metric.
Akita's capability portfolio centers on sol-gel monoliths, metal organic framework elastomers, antimicrobial coatings, additive manufacturing of complex geometries, and infrared system materials. Recent representative work includes a $1.395 million STTR Phase II definitive contract (April 2026) with the Army for scalable intrinsically porous organic polymers research, a $2.0 million STTR Phase II award from Naval Sea Systems Command (January 2026) supporting the Space-Based Infrared System High (SBIRS High) program, and a $1.972 million SBIR Phase II definitive contract (February 2024) with Army for additively manufactured full-facepiece respirators. The vendor also holds one delivery order seat on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ issued by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, a full-and-open-competition vehicle with a $151 billion ceiling and ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035, though the initial order placed is valued at only $500.
Activity has grown modestly — two awards in 2023 to four in 2025 — with three awards worth $4.6 million combined potential value reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months and facing recompete. The vendor's work is concentrated in basic and applied research; top NAICS codes are 54171x (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and related R&D classifications, with top PSCs spanning general science and technology R&D, national defense R&D, and defense-related applied research. Akita operates almost exclusively as a prime (one sub-award, 3% of portfolio), with no named teaming relationships in the source material.
