About the company
Helicon Chemical Company LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Russellville, Alabama, develops and manufactures advanced chemical compounds for defense applications — primarily hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) variants, metallized propellants, and nanocomposite energetic materials — exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) under SBIR, STTR, and other-transaction authority with the Department of Defense. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across SBIR and STTR programs, with recent full-and-open competition on a $151 billion indefinite delivery vehicle.
Helicon's customer concentration is tightly weighted to defense R&D organizations. The top five agencies account for 84% of combined potential value: the Air Force Research Laboratory leads with seven awards and $5.4 million combined potential value, followed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (one award, $3 million), the Naval Air Warfare Center (four awards, $2 million), the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (three awards, $1.4 million), and the Missile Defense Agency (four awards, $1.1 million). The Navy's Office of Naval Research and the Defense Logistics Agency round out active customers. Over the past several years, Helicon has shifted from episodic awards toward sustained engagement: activity grew from one award in 2021 to seven in 2024, with two awards issued in 2025.
Recent representative capability work includes a $1.9 million Air Force Research Laboratory SBIR Phase II award (May 2024) for composite binder technology enabling higher propellant loading and extended-range missile propulsion, a $1.15 million Army STTR Phase II contract (August 2024) for in situ nanocomposite-enhanced dual-use energetic materials, a $2.9 million Other Transaction Agreement with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (September 2024) for manufacturing and testing of metallized HTPB, and a $1 million Defense Logistics Agency SBIR Phase II award (September 2024) establishing a second domestic manufacturing source for HTPB. Helicon also holds a seat on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ issued by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, carrying a $151 billion ceiling through December 2035, with an initial delivery order of $500 issued the same date.
Two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $3 million and face recompete exposure. Helicon's award footprint centers on NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), with work spanning applied research, basic research, and experimental development in propellants, explosives, and energetic materials supporting missile propulsion, defense systems modernization, and national security priorities. The company does not maintain a subcontractor footprint in the source data.
