Arrow Slate LLC

Arrow Slate LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in White Plains, New York, wins Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contracts from naval agencies under total small business set-asides, operating exclusively as a prime contractor on early-stage research and development programs.

Arrow Slate's federal footprint consists entirely of SBIR Phase I awards concentrated within the Department of the Navy. The Naval Air Warfare Center (NAVAIR) accounts for three awards totaling $1.9 million in combined potential value, while the Office of Naval Research (ONR) holds two awards worth $480 thousand. The vendor's customer concentration is complete — 100% of recent awards derive from naval agencies, split evenly between NAVAIR and ONR. All five prime awards fall under NAICS 541512 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) with PSC classifications split between Department of Defense Basic Research (four awards) and Applied Research (one award).

Recent representative work includes a $1.4 million definitive cost-plus-fixed-fee contract from NAVAIR for research and development awarded March 12, 2026, with performance through September 2029 at the vendor's White Plains facility; a $239,780 ONR SBIR Phase I award from November 3, 2025, firm fixed-price, completing November 2, 2026; and a $239,944 NAVAIR SBIR Phase I contract awarded July 24, 2024, completing August 11, 2025. Activity has been sparse but consistent — one award in 2022, two in 2024, one each in 2025 and 2026. One award with $240 thousand potential value completes within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. Arrow Slate carries no subcontract footprint and does not sit on parent IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; all work flows directly from agency SBIR set-asides. The combined obligated value across all awards stands at $1.7 million against $2.4 million total potential value (70% obligation rate).
