Apex Microdevices has established itself as a trusted partner for federal defense agencies, accumulating over $3.6 million in prime contract awards while demonstrating consistent capability in delivering innovative solutions for complex defense research requirements.

Apex Microdevices has secured six prime federal contracts valued at approximately $5.18 million, all designated as total small business set-asides, with work primarily funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Department of the Army. The company's contract portfolio reflects substantial expertise in advanced photonics and electro-optic technologies, including two Phase II SBIR contracts from AFRL: a $1.25 million award for ultra-fast solid state spatial light modulators (completion date September 8, 2026) and a $1.25 million contract for bottom-up scalable epitaxial growth of gallium oxide with integrated thermal management for next-generation power electronics (completion date March 12, 2026). Additionally, Apex has received Phase II SBIR support from AFRL for ultra-low cost metalenses for electro-optic/infrared and early threat warning systems valued at $1.25 million. The company's recent Phase I contracts include a $249,809.91 SBIR award from the Department of the Army for metaoptics-enabled, ultra-compact, germanium-free long-wave infrared imager design for C5ISR applications, a $199,987.71 STTR award from AFRL for wafer-scale thin film lithium niobate substrate solutions for integrated photonics and RF acoustic filters, and a $179,962.49 STTR contract from AFRL for metaoptic enabled MWIR micro lenslet arrays. Beyond prime contracts, Apex has served as a subcontractor to KBR Wyle Services, LLC on multiple occasions beginning in 2021, providing engineering services and specialized technical support. All awards are structured as either firm fixed-price definitive contracts or purchase orders, with work performance typically located in West Chester Township, Ohio.
