About Inventwood Inc.
Inventwood Inc., a Frederick, Maryland-based manufacturer of advanced wood materials, holds two prime federal contracts and a sub-award focused on cellulose-based structural innovation. The company competes in full-and-open procurement without set-aside designations; its footprint centers on early-stage research and commercialization rather than high-volume production contracts.
Inventwood specializes in MettleWood, a densified wood material engineered to deliver performance characteristics comparable to structural steel — 60% stronger than construction-grade steel, 80% lighter, and 50% cheaper — with inherent carbon sequestration benefits for decarbonization and climate resilience in building applications. The company's federal award history reflects two distinct customer missions: climate and sustainability innovation under Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) support, and defense transition under Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsorship.
The Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency has funded two awards, including a $20 million cooperative agreement under the ARPA-E SCALEUP 2021 program for carbon sequestration and climate resiliency via MettleWood scaling, with ultimate completion date of March 16, 2026. Work under that award focused on massively decarbonizing buildings through densified wood material production. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $350 thousand definitive contract on July 1, 2026, for commercialization and defense transition of the superwood structural material platform under the Embedded Entrepreneur Initiative, running through June 30, 2027, with performance in Waltham, Massachusetts. Inventwood also acts as a sub-recipient on a Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture grant to the University of Maryland, College Park, focused on upcycling cellulose waste to densified wood boards through a zero-waste manufacturing process (awarded February 3, 2025). The combined obligated amount across all seven awards totals $32.4 million against a combined potential-value ceiling of $350 thousand, reflecting the dominance of the ARPA-E cooperative agreement in actual spend. One award — the DARPA contract — faces completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a recompete opportunity.
