Taumat LLC

Taumat LLC, a for-profit limited liability partnership based in Silver Spring, Maryland, conducts applied research and development in thermal management, advanced materials, and protective equipment as a prime contractor on small-business-set-aside awards from defense and civilian research agencies. The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides across a seven-award footprint spanning defense, civilian research, and civilian grant programs; 100% of recent awards are prime (no sub experience).

Taumat's capability portfolio centers on solid-state phase change cooling, thermal energy storage materials, advanced manufacturing for microelectronics, and soldier-portable protective equipment. Representative contract work includes a $1.78 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on February 25, 2026, for thermal corralling, absorption, and harvesting in high-power microelectronics, running through August 31, 2028; a $1.31 million Small Business Technology Transfer Phase II award from the Army Research, Development and Engineering Command on May 5, 2025, for thin, lightweight, soldier-portable laser-protective equipment with completion date May 4, 2027; and a $180 thousand Small Business Innovation Research Phase I contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory on April 12, 2024, for multi-objective modeling and additively manufactured mesostructures to improve hypersonic survivability. Grant work includes a $399,936 Cooperative Agreement from the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command under the Basic Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.431) awarded August 1, 2026, for advanced manufacturing, phase change materials, and cooling architectures for soldier-portable electronic systems; and a $1.2 million Cooperative Agreement from the National Science Foundation Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2027, for solid-state phase change cooling technology for CPUs, complemented by a $275 thousand SBIR Phase I grant from NSF (CFDA 47.084) awarded September 1, 2023, for high-performance CPU thermal management using innovative thermal energy storage materials.

Customer concentration splits between defense research and civilian research agencies. The Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command leads by award count (three awards, $1.5 million combined potential value), while the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency anchors the dollar ranking ($1.8 million from one award). The National Science Foundation contributes two awards, and the Air Force Research Laboratory one. All work is performed at Taumat's facility in Takoma Park, Maryland. Activity averages one to two awards per year across the four-year window, with four awards (combined potential value $3.1 million) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing the vendor to significant recompete cliff risk. The combined potential value of $3.5 million across all seven awards contrasts with combined dollars obligated of $5 million, indicating either amended scope or accelerated or higher-value invoicing across the portfolio.
