About the company
Collaborative Composite Solutions Corporation, doing business as IACMI—The Composites Institute, is a tax-exempt non-profit entity and subsidiary of the University of Tennessee Research Foundation that delivers advanced composite materials, additive manufacturing innovation, and industrial-skills training to the Department of Defense and Department of Energy as a prime contractor (76% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on federal workforce and manufacturing programs. The organization competes full-and-open, without set-aside designations, across defense modernization, energy efficiency, and advanced manufacturing portfolios.
IACMI's customer concentration centers on defense R&D and energy manufacturing innovation. The top customer by dollar value is the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command, which accounts for three awards worth $134.7 million in combined potential value, dominated by two other-transaction agreements (OTAs) under the Cornerstone program supporting the National Imperative for Industrial Skills (NIIS). The Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy funds seven awards, primarily cooperative agreements on composite wind-blade manufacturing, 3D-printed steel tooling for automotive composites, and coal-derived product innovation running through 2027. The Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency recently established IACMI on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ, a multi-billion-dollar indefinite-delivery vehicle awarded December 29, 2025, with initial task-order ceiling of $500 thousand. Representative prime work includes a $10.7 million OTA with RDECOM for NIIS follow-on production at ACEnet Michigan (performance through July 2030), a $120.3 million Cornerstone OTA with RDECOM for IACMI institutional support (completion March 2029), and a $250 thousand NASA Shared Services Center award on technology transfer activities. IACMI's grant-recipient footprint with DOE covers additive manufacturing for large wind-blade modular shells (completion April 2027) and 3D-printed steel tools for lightweight automotive composites (completion January 2027).
Activity has accelerated markedly in 2025, with six awards to date compared to one in 2024 and two in 2021. Two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. IACMI subcontracts to Deloitte Consulting on a maritime submarine workforce-expansion contract and serves as sub-recipient on federal grants flowing through the University of Tennessee and University of Washington on composite manufacturing and machine-learning-enabled RF-heating projects. The organization's core capability set spans composite-materials R&D, advanced manufacturing process innovation, additive manufacturing tooling, and workforce development aligned with defense industrial-base modernization and clean-energy manufacturing objectives.
