Science, Engineering, Management Solutions, LLC

Science Engineering Management Solutions LLC (SEM Solutions) is a for-profit limited liability company based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that specializes in high-power microwave (HPM) technology and advanced electromagnetic research and development for defense applications. Registered in SAM.gov since July 27, 2015, the company maintains an established track record as a prime contractor with the U.S. federal government, securing contracts from leading defense and research agencies. SEM Solutions brings substantial technical expertise in electromagnetic systems development, including high-power RF technologies, pulsed power systems, linear accelerators, and prototype design and fabrication, positioning itself as a strategic partner for the military's advanced technology initiatives.

SEM Solutions has demonstrated extensive experience delivering sophisticated electromagnetic technologies through a diverse portfolio of prime federal contracts spanning multiple defense agencies. The company has secured numerous Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards at Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III levels from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), including projects such as the X-Band RF Linear Accelerator ($1.25 million Phase II), the L-Band Buncher technology ($1.8 million Phase II), and the Highly Adjustable Plasma Oscillator (HAPO) program. Beyond SBIR programs, SEM Solutions holds substantial definitive contracts, including a $5 million cost-plus-fixed-fee agreement with AFRL for developing and testing a mature high-power microwave source under the Defense Design Study Program (ABAD), and a $20.4 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the Compact Rugged Electron Accelerator Technology (CREATE) program focused on advanced compact electron linear accelerator systems. The company has also been awarded a $3.44 million Phase II SBIR contract by DARPA for the "Safe Food for Everyone" (SAFE) initiative and a $2.29 million Phase II SBIR contract by the Office of Naval Research for high-power microwave technology development, with the latter awarded on August 19, 2025. Additionally, SEM Solutions has provided subcontract support to major defense contractors including Leidos, Inc., Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., Raytheon Company, and Verus Research LLC, performing specialized high-power microwave services, embedded control system design, and prototype development. All major prime contract awards have been designated as small business set-asides where applicable, reflecting the company's qualified status within federal small business procurement preferences.

SEM Solutions currently holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $15 million with the Air Force Research Laboratory, awarded on March 4, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 4, 2030. This contract focuses on the development, testing, and integration of high-power electromagnetics (HPEM) subsystems designed for airborne-based HPEM weapons platforms, representing a five-year strategic engagement with AFRL. The initial task order issued under this IDC, valued at $491,304 and awarded on March 4, 2025, is structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order addressing research and development efforts toward assessing the radar performance of a portable HPEM system in an outdoor environment, with work performed in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, New Mexico. This indefinite delivery vehicle, which carries no set-aside designation, demonstrates AFRL's confidence in SEM Solutions' established capabilities and positions the company to continue supporting the Air Force's advanced electromagnetic systems development initiatives throughout the five-year performance period.
