About the company
MSB Associates, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Belmont, California, conducts advanced research and development for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (75% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on defense R&D programs. The company operates as a for-profit corporate entity and competes predominately under total small business set-asides.
MSB Associates' federal footprint centers on DARPA-funded research. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency accounts for three awards totaling $1.7 million in combined potential value, while the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command accounts for one award valued at $1.8 million, representing 100% of the vendor's recent award base. The company holds a $1.791 million Compartmentalized Chrome Demonstrator (CCD) SBIR Phase II definitive contract from DARPA, awarded February 9, 2026, with firm fixed price and an ultimate completion date of March 8, 2028. MSB Associates also holds a completed $1.494 million DARPA STTR Phase II definitive contract titled Trustworthy Information Storage Technology Enhanced Devices (TWISTED), which ran through March 2025 and followed a $247,000 STTR Phase I award completed in December 2021. Recent subcontract work includes a June 2024 sub-award from Sri International on a Department of Defense Deploying Effective Compartmentalization (DEC) effort involving porting software to CHERI C/C++ and development of compartmentalization application binary interfaces.
The vendor's capability portfolio consists of small-business applied and basic research in physical engineering and life sciences, with focus on compartmentalization security technologies and information storage systems. One award valued at $1.8 million reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure. Activity is sparse but recent: two awards in 2021, one in 2024, and one in 2026, with combined potential value of $3.5 million fully obligated across all four awards.
