Sciperio Inc.

Sciperio Inc., an Orlando, Florida-based small business Subchapter S corporation, conducts advanced manufacturing, materials research, and additive-manufacturing-enabled electronics development primarily as a prime contractor (91% of awards) across Department of Defense and civilian research agencies under small-business set-asides. The company specializes in transdisciplinary engineering spanning mechanical, electrical, chemical, and biological sciences and operates nScrypt, Inc., a subsidiary manufacturer of advanced direct-write and 3D printing equipment and toolheads used across federal research programs.

Sciperio's federal footprint concentrates heavily in defense and space-research R&D. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency leads by potential value (7 awards, $24.6 million combined), followed by the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (11 awards, $3.7 million), the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (6 awards, $1.6 million), and the Defense Health Agency (2 awards, $1.5 million). These four agencies account for roughly 81% of combined potential value across the portfolio, though the Air Force's 11-award count reflects sustained engagement across multiple SBIR and STTR phases. NASA's Shared Services Center places eight awards ($1.4 million combined), driven primarily by Small Business Innovation Research Phase I and Phase II contracts and direct purchase orders for specialized toolheads and electronics manufacturing development. Sciperio competes predominantly under total small-business set-asides across its prime SBIR/STTR pipeline.

Recent representative awards include a $1.3 million Defense Health Agency definitive contract (April 2026) for ORACLE Phase 2 organoid research and characterization for live electrophysiology, an $850 thousand Shared Services Center STTR Phase II definitive contract (February 2025) for additively manufactured electronics development for extreme environmental conditions, a $250 thousand Defense Health Agency STTR Phase I contract (June 2025) for ORACLE organoid characterization research, and a $750 thousand Air Force Research Laboratory SBIR Phase II contract (January 2022) for advanced manufacturing and assembly approaches for reduced-cost small satellite constellations. Sciperio also performs direct contract work for NASA Marshall Space Flight Center on On-Demand Manufacturing of Electronics (ODME) flight systems and has received SBIR Phase I and Phase II awards from the Department of Transportation for concrete-curing quantification technologies. The company subcontracts to Faraday Technology, Inc. on SBIR Phase II nanomaterial research and manufactures direct-write toolheads and integrated electronics for nScrypt's multi-material printing platform under both government purchase orders and private commercial channels.

Activity has remained modest and irregular — six awards in 2022, three in 2023, three in 2024, five in 2025, and two in early 2026 — with combined obligated dollars ($68 million) exceeding combined potential value ($41.7 million) by 63 percent, indicating substantial invoicing against contract ceilings. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months ($850 thousand). Sciperio also acts as a sub-recipient on federal research grants managed by Harvard College and the Geneva Foundation, performing bioengineering and biomanufacturing work on blood-on-demand and 3D bone marrow organoid development for military medical applications, and served as a sub-grantee under the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space for biomanufacturing research on the International Space Station.

Sciperio develops antenna systems smaller, more conformal, and electrically superior to standard RF systems. Using advanced algorithms and direct printing processes, Sciperio has revolutionized antenna design, fabrication, and application.
