ALKEMIX CORPORATION — STTR Phase I award from Department of Defense.

Phase I STTR feasibility signal

  • Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense in a technical approach.
  • Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
  • Obligated amount $100,000. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
  • Tagged technology areas: Materials & Manufacturing, Hypersonics. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.

Informational capture context from public federal data — not legal or bid advice.

Summary

Alkemix Corporation received a $100,000 STTR Phase I award from the Defense Logistics Agency to develop a novel method for forming boron carbide surfaces. The work targets improved thermal protection systems for high-heat defense uses such as hypersonic vehicles.
