About the company
Smart Material Solutions, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, performs applied research and development on advanced metamaterials, optical coatings, and scalable roll-to-roll fabrication processes for military and space agencies as a prime contractor under 100% small business set-asides. The company competes exclusively under Total Small Business designations across its federal footprint.
Smart Material Solutions' capability portfolio centers on metamaterials engineering with tunable infrared absorption spectra, anti-reflective and light-trapping optical coatings for solar encapsulation, passive dust-mitigation surfaces for space-grade materials, and plasmonic metamaterial design coupled to roll-to-roll manufacturing scale-up. Representative work includes a $1.314 million Army STTR Sequential Phase II Year 1 definitive contract (awarded September 2023, completion September 2025) for plasmonic metamaterial design and large-area roll-to-roll fabrication process development; a $1.73 million Army SBIR Phase II definitive contract (awarded September 2023, completion March 2025) extending Phase I work on spectral absorbers and dust mitigation; a $750 thousand NASA SBIR Phase II definitive contract (awarded April 2022, completion February 2026) for passive nano- and micro-textured dust-mitigation surfaces in space-grade materials; and a $179,942 Air Force Research Laboratory SBIR Phase I purchase order (awarded January 2025, completion July 2025) for anti-reflective, light-trapping features on solar encapsulation films.
Customer concentration is defense-oriented. The Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command anchors the portfolio with four awards and $3.6 million combined potential value; the Army (broader) accounts for two awards and $2 million; NASA's Shared Services Center holds two awards totaling $875 thousand; the Air Force Research Laboratory two awards totaling $255 thousand; and the National Science Foundation two awards. All twelve awards in the source reflect prime work with no subcontract activity. Award activity has been sparse and episodic — one or two awards per year in 2021–2023, then a gap until a single award in 2025 and another in mid-2026 — with six awards (combined potential value not specified in source as a recompete cluster) reaching ultimate completion by September 2025. The combined obligated dollars ($7.9 million) exceed combined potential-value ceiling ($6.7 million), indicating invoiced performance against fixed-price research contracts. Work is performed in Raleigh, North Carolina across all named awards.
