Intelligent Material Solutions, Inc.

Intelligent Material Solutions, Inc. (IMS) is a for-profit corporate entity registered in SAM.gov, specializing in the development and production of advanced chemical, phosphor, and micro-taggant materials primarily for federal government research and development purposes. Located in Princeton, New Jersey, the company focuses on manufacturing specialized materials with complex optical, spectral, and chromatic properties, particularly for defense and research applications. The company's Government Division serves primarily as a prime contractor, delivering sophisticated scientific materials and research services to federal agencies.

Through its federal contract awards, IMS has consistently worked with the Department of the Army's Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), securing multiple contracts totaling over $2.8 million since 2019. The company's contract work predominantly involves developing rare earth phosphor materials, micro-taggant systems, and specialized chemical additives with precise optical and spectral characteristics. These contracts have included the development of distinctive micro-taggant additives, chemical and phosphor products, custom laser integrated spectrophotometers, and materials designed for energy conversion across various spectrums. All of these contract awards have been issued without specific set-aside designations, indicating open competition procurement processes.

Regarding federal grant awards, the available information shows a single sub-grant award from The Trustees of Princeton University, wherein IMS was involved in developing and testing optical sensors. This sub-award specifically required IMS to assist in sourcing vendors for producing metal-coated, optical-grade molded plastic hollow cube corner reflectors, supplying thermoelectric-cooled mercury cadmium telluride detectors, and developing a small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) point sensor with similarities to previously developed hydrogen impurity sensors.

IMS holds a significant single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDV) with the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command, valued at $2,160,000. This five-year contract, awarded on July 28, 2021, with a completion date of July 21, 2026, allows for the provision of specialized chemical and phosphor products. Under this IDV, IMS has already received two firm fixed-price delivery orders totaling $648,000, focusing on supplying chemical and phosphor materials, particularly yellow/green variants, to support Army research and development programs. The original solicitation targeted rare earth phosphors that emit in the infrared wavelength, to be used as additives in research contexts.
