  • HexaTech Inc.

Description

This sole‑source procurement by the Naval Research Laboratory seeks to acquire single‑crystal aluminum nitride (AlN) wafers produced by physical vapor transport and polished for epitaxial applications. The requirement is for a specialized semiconductor material used in advanced research and potential defense‑related technologies, and the award will be made to HexaTech Inc. under simplified acquisition procedures. • NAICS 334413 (Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing) governs the requirement, with a small‑business size standard. • The solicitation is a non‑competitive, sole‑source award with a response deadline of 12 Oct 2026 08:00 EDT. • The purchase will be executed under FAR Part 13.106‑1(b), reflecting a simplified acquisition threshold (< $250 K).

Contract value

$150,000

The solicitation references the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000 and indicates a single‑source award for specialized AlN wafers. Typical market prices for high‑purity, single‑crystal AlN wafers range from $5,000 to $20,000 per wafer depending on size and specifications. Assuming the Navy requires a modest quantity (e.g., 5–10 wafers) for research purposes, the total cost would likely fall between $50,000 and $200,000. Given the ceiling of $250k and the niche nature of the product, a reasonable estimate is roughly $150,000. This estimate accounts for unit cost, potential testing, and logistics, while staying comfortably below the simplified acquisition ceiling.
