About the company
Microbeam Technologies Incorporated, a small disadvantaged business based in Grand Forks, North Dakota, develops critical mineral extraction and advanced pyrometallurgical processing technologies for federal R&D and defense industrial base programs as a prime contractor (88% of recent awards) and as a subrecipient on Department of Energy grants. The company operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and competes predominantly under small business set-asides, with recent work anchored to SBIR Phase I awards and Department of Energy cooperative agreements centered on germanium and gallium recovery from coal-based feedstocks.
Microbeam's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Department of Energy ecosystem. The top five funding agencies account for 100% of recent awards, led by the Department of Energy Office of Fossil Energy (7 awards) and the Department of Energy Office of Science (5 awards), with the Department of the Army (2 awards, $2.2 million combined potential value) providing the largest single-award dollar concentration. The two rankings align closely around energy and defense priorities. Recent capability work includes a $2 million definitive contract from the Department of the Army (awarded April 2026, completion October 2027) for production of germanium concentrates from coal ash under a total small business set-aside; a $249,972 SBIR Phase I award from the Army (February 2025, completed August 2025) for advanced pyrometallurgical feedstock processing to extract germanium; a $3.1 million Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Energy Office of Fossil Energy (awarded September 2024, completion August 2027) to demonstrate bench-scale germanium and gallium production from coal-based rare earth concentrates in partnership with the University of North Dakota and Barr Engineering; and a $249,986 Project Grant from the Department of Energy Office of Science (July 2024, completion July 2025) for subsurface characterization of critical minerals using downhole logging equipment.
Activity has remained episodic, with two awards in 2022 and 2023, three in 2024, and one each in 2025 and 2026. Two awards carrying combined potential value of $2 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and are therefore subject to recompete. In its subrecipient role, Microbeam supports the University of North Dakota on grants focused on recovery and refining of rare earth elements from lignite mine wastes (sub-awards dated October 2024 and August 2023). The vendor's federal work centers on converting coal and mining wastes into refined critical minerals — germanium, gallium, rare earths — and on coal gasification optimization for hydrogen production, positioning it at the intersection of domestic mineral supply chain security and coal-based energy transition R&D.
