Structured Materials Industries, Inc.

Structured Materials Industries, Inc., doing business as Structured Materials, is a for-profit corporate entity based in Piscataway, New Jersey, specializing in advanced materials, optics, electronics, and photonics research, development, and production services. Registered in SAM.gov since 2001, the company focuses on innovative technological solutions for government agencies, primarily through Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. The firm has established itself as a key provider of specialized materials and device technologies for defense, space, and scientific research applications.

Through federal contract awards, Structured Materials Industries has consistently delivered advanced research and engineering services across multiple domains. The company has been awarded contracts from agencies including the Missile Defense Agency, Office of Naval Research, U.S. Air Force, and NASA, predominantly through total small business set-aside designations. Their contract work has encompassed critical technological developments such as low temperature homogeneous epitaxy of 4H-SiC, radiation-tolerant photovoltaics, engineering service visits for complex equipment de-installation, and innovative research on materials like long-wave infrared detector arrays. These contracts, ranging from $6,402 to $1,466,228, demonstrate the company's capacity to perform specialized research and development across various technological frontiers, with contract types including purchase orders, definitive contracts, and cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements.

Structured Materials Industries has also secured federal grant awards primarily from the Department of Energy's Office of Science, focusing on cutting-edge scientific research and technological innovation. Their grant projects have included developing high-performance polarized photocathodes for electron ion colliders, creating large area InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well avalanche photodiode Cherenkov radiation detectors, advancing silicon carbide low-gain avalanche diode sensors for minimum ionization particle detection, and developing high-throughput, low-cost metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) superconductor wire production tools. These project grants, valued between $149,998 and $200,000, underscore the company's commitment to pushing technological boundaries in advanced materials, semiconductor technologies, and innovative scientific instrumentation.
