Metamagnetics Inc.

Metamagnetics Inc. is a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Westborough, Massachusetts, specializing in advanced radio frequency (RF) and microwave products for defense and aerospace applications. The company has established itself as a trusted supplier to the Department of Defense through its expertise in developing innovative RF filtering technologies, magnetostatic wave resonators, and related electromagnetic components that enable secure communications and electronic warfare capabilities. Since its registration in the federal contracting system in 2009, Metamagnetics has built a robust portfolio of federal contract awards totaling tens of millions of dollars, demonstrating consistent demand for its specialized technologies across multiple military branches and defense agencies.

Metamagnetics has provided a diverse array of RF and microwave products and research and development services through its federal contract awards. The company's primary product offering consists of 1 gigahertz to 18 gigahertz multiplexed auto-tune filters, which enable rapid frequency adjustments and interference avoidance capabilities critical for electronic warfare and communications systems operating in congested electromagnetic environments. Additional products and technologies developed through federal contracts include gyromagnetic non-linear transmission lines at X-band frequencies, GPS in-line filters, enhanced auto-tune filters for unmanned aerial vehicle communications, magnetostatic wave resonators for millimeter-wave integrated circuits, frequency limiters, and interface-engineered micro-ferro and nano-ferri composites for power electronics applications. Metamagnetics has received substantial funding from the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, Naval Air Warfare Center, Naval Strategic Systems Programs, Air Force Research Laboratory, Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Office of Naval Research, and U.S. Special Operations Command. The company has participated in Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs across multiple phases, including Phase I feasibility studies, Phase II development efforts, and Phase III commercialization contracts, with many of these awards designated as total small business set-asides. Additionally, Metamagnetics serves as a subcontractor to major defense primes including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Leidos Inc., Integrated Solutions For Systems Inc., and ManTech TSG-2 Joint Venture, providing specialized RF components and manufacturing support for integrated defense systems.

Metamagnetics holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command valued at $7.5 million with an ultimate completion date of January 26, 2027. This contract vehicle, awarded on January 27, 2023, procures 1 gigahertz to 18 gigahertz multiplexed auto-tune filters and operates without a small business set-aside designation. The indefinite delivery structure allows the Navy to issue delivery orders on an as-needed basis, providing flexible procurement of these specialized RF filtering technologies throughout the performance period. As of the available data, six delivery orders have been issued under this IDV, collectively valued at approximately $5.86 million, with individual order values ranging from $107,712 to $2,477,376 and completion dates extending from January 2024 through August 2025. The delivery orders are structured as firm fixed-price contracts, reflecting the mature nature of this product line and the Navy's confidence in Metamagnetics' ability to deliver consistent, high-quality RF components. The ordering activity demonstrates sustained operational demand from the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command for Metamagnetics' auto-tune filter technology to support electronic warfare capabilities, reinforcing the company's critical role in the Navy's electronic warfare and communications infrastructure.
