Domestic Production of Zirconium and Hafnium Metal Organic Precursors - SBIR Topic DON26BZ01-DV002 — BW&CO Domestic Production of Zirconium and Hafnium Metal Organic Precursors - SBIR Topic DON26BZ01-DV002 Active specific topic DSIP This topic was temporarily posted by the Department of War SBIR Program on March 2nd 2026 and removed the following day.
We believe this topic is planned to be released once the SBIR program is reauthorized; however, this topic may ultimately be modified or withdrawn.
Notify Me When This is Released Develop and demonstrate a pilot-scale manufacturing process for producing high purity tetrakis(dimethylamido)zirconium(IV) (TDMAZ), tetrakis(dimethylamido)hafnium(IV) (TDMAH) and related metal dimethylamide compounds, with a targeted annual production capacity exceeding 6,000 kg of TDMAZ.
The Department of the Navy is seeking a domestic source of critical chemical feedstocks including TDMAZ, TDMAH, and other metal dimethylamide compounds. These chemical feedstocks can be used as metal organic precursors for atomic layer deposition (ALD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) of metal oxides, nitrides, and carbonitrides used in microelectronics and ceramic manufacturing [Refs 1-3].
While TDMAZ is a vital ceramic precursor for the electronics and semiconducting industry, this effort will also support the use of TDMAZ for the preparation of metal nitrides and carbonitrides for ceramics and ceramic matrix composites. This SBIR topic seeks to establish a domestic manufacturing capability for the production of > 6,000 kg/year of TDMAZ.
Synthesis of TDMAZ and other metal dimethylamides often involves pyrophoric and air/water sensitive reagents, and the proper storage and handling of these reagents is crucial for the development of a cost-effective and large-scale manufacturing process. Along with the production volumes mentioned above, the metal precursors must have a purity > 99% and a target retail price of < $4,000/kg of TDMAZ, preferably < $2,500/kg.
The proposed manufacturing facility must be located in the United States or US territories, and the company owning and operating this manufacturing facility must be wholly US owned and based. If you can achieve the objective above better than any other company on the market, you have a very high-likelihood of success and should apply. Who is eligible to apply?
Any company that meets the following criteria: U.S.-owned and controlled. 500 or fewer employees (including affiliates) 1) End-to-end support including, strategy, writing of the full proposal, and administrative & compliance support. 2) Proposal strategy and review.

The memorandum of agreement was signed August 4 and 5, disclosed by House appropriators on September 3, and runs through 2036. It names no dollar figure. Here is what is actually established, what is still speculation, and what researchers holding or planning NIAID biodefense awards should do before September 30.

Round one closed July 8. The arithmetic across both windows accounts for nearly the entire FY26 appropriation — which tells you what kind of second chance this is.
Read articleThe Department's FY26 SBIR/STTR Release 3 opened June 24 with roughly 37 topics across DARPA, the Navy, the Air Force, and the defense components, all closing July 22. The compressed four-week window is unforgiving, but the bigger mistake founders make is treating every component the same. Here is how to read the release, the eligibility rules that disqualify good companies, and why the component you target matters more than the topic you pick.
