IM Technologies LLC

IM Technologies LLC, a small-business partnership operating from Shoreham, New York, holds three federal awards as a prime recipient under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and a Department of Energy research grant, developing thermal plasma and ultra-high-temperature technologies for environmental remediation and rare earth element extraction. All three awards are held under the small business total set-aside designation, with no subcontract footprint.

IM Technologies' federal work spans environmental and materials science rather than IT or professional services. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on thermal plasma arc discharge for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) degradation in water, precision ultra-high-temperature reactor design for rare earth element extraction from recycled fluorescent light bulb powder, and microplastics treatment using thermal plasma discharge. Representative work includes a $100 thousand EPA Office of Research and Development SBIR Phase I award (December 2023, completion May 2024) for PFAS degradation research, a $275 thousand National Science Foundation SBIR Phase I award (April 2022, completion March 2023) for rare earth element extraction process development, and a $201 thousand Department of Energy Office of Science project grant (July 2025, completion July 2026) supporting thermal plasma discharge research for microplastics and PFAS treatment.

Customer concentration is distributed across three distinct federal agencies — the National Science Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development, and the Department of Energy Office of Science — each holding one award. No parent vehicles or IDIQs structure these awards; all three are direct grants or SBIR Phase I contracts. Activity remains sparse at one award per year across 2022, 2023, and 2025, with combined potential value of $100 thousand against combined obligated dollars of $577 thousand, reflecting the grant-receipt model where payment trails obligation rather than ceiling. No recompete exposure or pipeline signal is visible in the three-award footprint.
