About the company
COI Ceramics, Inc., doing business as Coic, manufactures advanced ceramic fibers and composite materials for defense, aerospace, and nuclear applications as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) and subcontractor. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, headquartered in San Diego, California, and competes full-and-open across federal customers without set-aside designations.
Coic's capability portfolio centers on silicon carbide fibers, Hi-Nicalon ceramic fibers, thermal protection systems, frequency selective surfaces for hypersonic radomes, and related composite materials engineered for extreme-temperature and high-performance environments. Recent representative work includes a $2.01 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract awarded by the Air Force Research Laboratory in October 2023 to develop a low-cost frequency selective system for hypersonic radomes, with subcontract support from Exothermics, Inc. and Vector Electromagnetics LLC; a $49,118 purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center in July 2026 for 50 spools of Hi-Nicalon silicon carbide fiber to support the SR1-Freedom nuclear electric propulsion vehicle program; and a $175,659 purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center in January 2024 for Hi-Nicalon ceramic fiber materials. In the subcontractor role, Coic supplies ceramic parts and sheet metal assemblies to Raytheon on the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile/Southern Cross Integrated Flight Research Experiment (HACM-SCIFIRE) effort and delivers materials to General Atomics under a federal research grant.
Customer concentration spans defense research and space exploration. The top five funding organizations account for 60% of recent awards by count and 94% by combined potential value: the Air Force Research Laboratory (9 awards, $15.2 million), the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (6 awards, $14.3 million), the Defense Logistics Agency Strategic Materials (3 awards, $5.2 million), NASA Glenn Research Center (15 awards, $5.1 million), and NASA Langley Research Center (6 awards, $1.6 million). Coic places work under the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (2 task orders). Activity has remained modest and episodic — one award annually in 2024–2026 and three in 2023 — with combined potential value of $43.9 million across 68 total awards since 2000. Two awards with combined potential value of $5.1 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
