Symplectic Engineering Corporation

Symplectic Engineering Corporation, a small business incorporated in Berkeley, California, specializes in advanced materials science research and development with a particular focus on high-temperature fracture mechanics and composite materials modeling. As a for-profit, subchapter S corporation registered with SAM.gov since 2004, the company has established itself as a trusted partner for federal research and development initiatives. Symplectic Engineering Corporation provides specialized engineering services and technical research capabilities that support critical Department of Defense objectives, particularly those aligned with the Missile Defense Agency's mission-critical research requirements.

The company's federal contract portfolio demonstrates a concentrated expertise in materials science applications across multiple research programs. Symplectic Engineering Corporation has received three substantial federal contracts, all designated as total small business set-asides, totaling approximately $3.67 million in contract value. The majority of the company's federal work has been conducted through the Missile Defense Agency, which awarded two successive high-temperature fracture mechanics contracts: an SBIR Phase II contract valued at $1,499,605.00 (awarded August 2021, completed August 2024) and a more recent STTR Sequential Phase II contract valued at $2.0 million (awarded September 2025, with completion scheduled for September 2027). Both MDA contracts were structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contracts and focused on advancing research and development capabilities in high-temperature fracture mechanics to support the agency's broader research objectives. Additionally, Symplectic Engineering Corporation received an SBIR Phase I contract valued at $167,432.87 from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (awarded February 2021, completed December 2021) for developing mesoscale model capabilities informed by cementitious composite microstructure, demonstrating the company's capabilities in materials modeling for infrastructure-related applications. All contracts were awarded exclusively to Symplectic Engineering Corporation as the prime contractor with no identified major subcontractors, indicating the company's ability to execute sophisticated research and development work independently.
