About Orbital Composites, Inc.
Orbital Composites, Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Campbell, California, develops and manufactures additively manufactured advanced composite materials and robotic automation systems for aerospace, defense, and renewable energy applications, operating as a prime contractor on 93% of its federal award portfolio and competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides. The company is a Black American-owned, self-certified SDB and manufacturer of goods.
Orbital Composites' federal footprint centers on Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) technology development. The Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory accounts for 10 of 15 total awards (93% of awards coverage) and $9.2 million of the $9.6 million combined potential value, spanning SBIR Phase I, Phase II, and STTR Phase I and Phase II contracts. Representative prime work includes a $1.9 million TACFI definitive contract awarded April 9, 2026, for manufacturing innovations in extreme-temperature carbon- and ceramic-matrix composites (period of performance through July 9, 2027); a $1.9 million SBIR Phase II definitive contract (June 14, 2024) for continuous-fiber additive manufacturing of small unmanned aerial systems (completion December 14, 2026); a $1.7 million SBIR Phase II purchase order (February 15, 2023) for a low-cost robotic in-space servicing and assembly platform for antennas; a $1.15 million SBIR Phase II purchase order (September 1, 2023) for accelerated manufacturing of carbon/carbon composites for hypersonics; and a $1.25 million STTR Phase II definitive contract (August 15, 2023) for 3D-printed radiation-hardened CubeSats for beyond-low-Earth-orbit optical imaging. Outside AFRL, Orbital Composites holds a $98.7 thousand NASA Shared Services Center purchase order (August 26, 2025) for ultra-high-temperature continuous-fiber additively manufactured composite demonstration in Huntsville, Alabama, and a $325 thousand U.S. Army Corps of Engineers definitive contract (July 24, 2024) under a Commercial Solutions Opening for civil works applications.
The vendor received one federal grant award as prime recipient: a cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (October 1, 2023, completion September 30, 2025) for additive manufacturing of lightweight concrete floating foundations for offshore wind turbines. Orbital Composites also subcontracts to Eaton Corporation on a Department of Defense applied research effort focused on 3D printing of continuous-fiber composite parts (awarded October 2, 2023).
Activity peaked in 2023 (seven awards) and has contracted in 2024–2026. Two awards (combined potential value $3.8 million) face recompete within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly concentrated in advanced composite additive manufacturing, continuous-fiber 3D printing, robotic automation, and related aerospace structures — work almost exclusively sourced through SBIR/STTR programs and aligned with AFRL's rapid-prototyping and materials-science mission priorities.
