What this contract is for

UltraSep continuously tracks system eigenfrequencies and locks ultrasonic output to resonance, ensuring maximum acoustic energy coupling and eliminating wasted off-frequency power. An autotuning algorithm adjusts the ultrasound frequency and amplitude to consistently maximize the separation efficiency in dynamic or inhomogeneous flows. Together, resonance locking and energy-per-removal optimization create a closed-loop, adaptive separation system that converts separation from a mechanically intensive process into a precision-engineered, low-energy acoustic platform. Value Proposition UltraSep is an intelligent ultrasonic separation platform that transforms solid–liquid separation through real-time eigenfrequency resonance locking and ultra-low power energy optimization. By dynamically matching ultrasonic output to system resonance while maximizing particulate removal per unit of applied energy, UltraSep replaces centrifugation and fouling-prone filtration with precision-controlled acoustic forces that significantly reduce power consumption, mechanical complexity, and operating cost while improving recovery performance. This integrated platform unites patented resonance-based acoustic control and energy-per-removal optimization with chemistry-enhanced separation and proprietary system software into a scalable, high-impact commercial technology. Advantages Resonance-locked acoustic excitation that maximizes acoustic coupling efficiency and eliminates off-frequency energy loss Maximum particulate removal per applied energy through optimized ultrasonic field control Integrated resonance tracking and energy optimization for adaptive, closed-loop system performance Reduced mechanical complexity and fouling compared to centrifugation and filtration systems Scalable, modular ar...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
