About Altect Inc.
Altect Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Austin, Texas, develops safety innovations for advanced lithium-ion battery systems and delivers this work to federal agencies as a prime contractor in SBIR Phase I and Phase II programs and federal research grants. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) under Total Small Business set-asides and competes in highly specialized federal R&D rather than commercial procurement vehicles.
Altect's capability portfolio centers on thermal runaway protection and suppression technology for lithium-ion batteries, addressing fire and explosion hazards in energy storage and electric vehicle applications. Representative work includes a $2.0 million SBIR Phase II Definitive Contract with the Office of Naval Research awarded November 2025, running through November 2027, for continued development of physiochemical approaches to reduce hazardous gas concentrations during thermal runaway events. The company previously completed a $1.0 million NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) cooperative agreement (CFDA 47.084) from May 2022 through April 2024 on the same thermal runaway protection technology. A $240 thousand SBIR Phase I contract from ONR in July 2024 covered kick-off briefing materials and research planning for the battery safety work. The company's customer base spans the Office of Naval Research (2 awards, $2.2 million combined potential value), the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy's Office of Science, with no subcontract activity in the source data.
Altect's award footprint is sparse but growing in value. Five awards across the past six years yield $2.2 million in combined potential value, though $2.7 million has been obligated (119% of ceiling, indicating scope expansion or cost-plus performance under the SBIR Phase II). One award — the $2.0 million ONR Phase II contract — faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and represents the primary near-term recompete exposure. The company's background includes prior federal funding from civilian agencies including the National Science Foundation and Department of Energy, reflecting sustained capability in battery safety research and development within the SBIR ecosystem.
