About the company
Applied Nanotech, Inc., doing business as Fepet, a woman-owned small business based in Austin, Texas, develops advanced materials, printed electronics, sensors, and diagnostic platforms for defense and energy research as a prime contractor under federal SBIR and research-grant vehicles exclusively, operating under total small business set-asides. The company is a manufacturer of goods with primary strength in nanotechnology-focused research and development, holding SBA woman-owned small business certification and operating since SAM.gov registration in 2002.
Fepet's recent work spans flexible printed electronics, superconducting materials, thermal sensing, and point-of-care diagnostics. Representative examples include a $1.307 million SBIR Phase II cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with the Naval Air Warfare Center for flexible printed radio frequency elements (awarded December 2023, completion December 2025); a $249,962 SBIR Phase I contract from the Defense Health Agency for MicroBeID, an electronics-free molecular diagnostic platform for microbial detection (awarded August 2025, completion March 2026); a $220,134 SBIR Phase I award from NASA for hydrazine-compatible elastomers for spaceflight (awarded September 2026, completion March 2027); and a $206,500 Department of Energy Office of Science project grant for low-noise superconducting interconnects (awarded February 2025, completion November 2025). Fepet also holds a $1.484 million SBIR Phase II contract with the Missile Defense Agency for manufacturability studies of flexible printed RF elements (awarded May 2022, completion April 2025).
Customer concentration reflects Fepet's defense and energy focus. The top five funding agencies account for 59% of combined potential value: the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (3 awards, $3.4 million), the Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research (5 awards, $3.1 million), the DOD Missile Defense Agency (4 awards, $2.2 million), the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Center (5 awards, $1.8 million), and the Naval Air Warfare Center (3 awards, $1.8 million). By award count, the Department of Energy leads with 11 awards, followed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (10 awards, $1.2 million potential value) and the Navy Office of Naval Research. Across the portfolio, Fepet holds 83 prime awards (99% of total) and one sub-grant award with Semi.
Activity has contracted in recent years — four awards in 2022, declining to one in 2024, then recovering to three in 2025 and two in 2026 — reflecting the lumpy nature of SBIR Phase II completions and the multi-year gap between Phase I and Phase II funding cycles. Combined potential value stands at $20.7 million against $34.2 million in obligated dollars, indicating prior-year carryover. Only one award ($220 thousand) reaches completion within the next twenty-four months; the majority of Fepet's active portfolio extends beyond that window. The portfolio is concentrated in basic research and applied research categories under NAICS 541711 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences except Biotechnology), with secondary weight in biotechnology and space research. The company has no active position on government-wide IDIQs or GWACs; all work flows through agency-specific SBIR vehicles or direct DOE grants.
