National Guard Bureau (NGB) conducted a down-select of over 100 submissions from all 54 U.S. National Guard organizations and selected Bulzī as one of four companies to submit to the FY2026 funding program. The recommended funding includes $20M APFIT funds for years 1-2 and $60M follow-on contracts for years 3-5.

The Texas Army National Guard’s (TXARNG) innovation office selected Bulzī’s SAFER solution for submission to the National Guard Bureau’s (NGB) FY2026 APFIT program.

APFIT is a DoD funding vehicle designed to help SBIR Phase-II projects transition to Program of Record funding. Each year APFIT issues $10M-$50M contracts to 12-15 SBIR companies who bring a capability that is not currently available at scale to the DOD.

TXARNG selected Bulzī because of the strong match between SAFER and its core missions which include Emergency Response and Combat operations.

Leidos selected Bulzi to supply a subcontractor proposal for development of a visitor registration and base access mobile application for their recently awarded $249M Army Automated Installation Access (AIE) contract. Bulzi previously collaborated with Leidos on the AIE request for proposal. Bulzi was one of two companies invited to participate (award is currently pending).

Bulzī Inc. won a competitive bid for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award to develop a ZeroTrust smartphone prototype. The United States Air Force (USAF) selected Bulzī through its AFWERX innovation program as a part of its 24.2 solicitation cycle.

Bulzī’s solution is based on leveraging Samsung’s Tactical Edition smartphones and Knox security platform. The USAF project includes Bulzī’s development of a smartphone application and customized software configuration code for the Tactical Edition smartphones to create a secure “ZeroTrust” mobile environment and access the sensor suite for enhanced situational awareness.

Bulzi partnered with a tier-one defense contractor (under NDA) on the $1.3M R&D Defense Health Agency (DHA) DHA244-D003 solicitation to deliver an advanced IT solution for improved combat casualty care.

Our proposed solution includes Bulzi’s first-in-class medical-grade wearable technology for continuous real-time monitoring of key vitals of injured personnel. Our wrist-worn device replaces a full suite of medical equipment used in a typical ICU. Since most of this equipment is impractical for use in forward-deployed environments, Bulzi’s technology will enable medics to access hospital-grade equipment in the field for the first time.

Our defense contractor partner will contribute DHA systems integration expertise and telemedicine technology to support military medics at the point of care. This partnership is intended to support DHA’s strategic objective to “care for our joint force and those we are privileged to serve… Anytime, Anywhere - Always.”

Bulzi and Samsung Electonics America submitted a joint proposal to the US Air Force’s $1.8M solicitation AF242-D002 to leverage Samsung’s Tactical Edition (TE) smartphone sensors for enhanced situational awareness on the battlefield.

The Samsung TE devices have become the DeFacto standard for smartphone use in combat environments. Bulzi has a long history leveraging smartphone and IoT technologies for situational awareness and for protecting military personnel from threats and injuries.

This partnership represents two best-in-class technology provides to drive next-generation battlefield intelligence.

Bulzi was one of a dozen companies worldwide selected to present to the Navy’s top Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for the Performance Wearables Demonstration Day. This team was focused exclusively on industry’s leading technology to support Special Operations training operations.

Teaming contract executed with DecisiveInstincts on $2.4B IDIQ Defense Health Agency contract to DHA to support transitioning its military health care systems into a more patient-centric and technology-integrated solution by delivering cutting-edge technologies, products, and services that connect its members at the point-of-need Anytime, Anywhere - Always.

Bulzi Selected to Participate in JSOC Joint Innovation Medical Symposium (JIMS).

Bulzi Inc, a dual-use defense contractor that specializes in IoT technologies, announced today its selection by the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to participate in the 2023 Joint Innovation Medical Symposium (JIMS) 7-9 Nov 2023 at Fort Liberty, NC.

The goal of the JIMS is to create partnerships between Special Operations Forces (SOF) and industry to accelerate SOF’s technical advantage in the medical arena. Bulzi will present its teaming partnership for integrating the industry’s first medical-grade non-invasive wearable vital signs monitoring technology into various U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) agency’s medical enterprise systems.

Bulzi Announces Distribution Agreement with CardiacSense for its Medical-Grade Watch

The partnership will accelerate adoption of the leading vital signs monitoring wearable technology by the U.S. Department of Defense.

The U.S. Army selected Bulzi to develop of a multi-modal sensor system with machine learning. Sensor technologies include Radio Frequency, Electro-Optical, and Acoustic. This project builds on previous DoD Installation of the Future awards and products.

Bulzi finishes development of new BioScout mobile application for inclusion in a multi-agency pilot during 1Q-23. The BioScout app collaborates with Emergency Response agencies to locate people in need of assistance in an emergency, and tracks the location and real-time health condition of Responders using Vital Signs Monitoring (VSM) wearables.

Bulzi partners with four leading technology firms on $8M R&D solicitation to develop a new Active Smart Textile (AST) solution for the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC). Technology subcontractors include Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) for audio technology, GeoCam for imaging technology, and KYMIRA for AST integration. Bulzi will supply Radio Frequency (RF) technology and program management.

Bulzi reaches an agreement with CardiacSense to collaborate on the United States Air Force AF222-D011 solicitation to develop a wearable Vital Signs Monitoring (VSM) solution combat environments. CardiacSense has developed the industry’s first medical-grade VSM technology. The $1.25M R&D project will advance Bulzī’s current VSM capabilities for civilian and emergency response markets.

Bulzi demonstrated its Express Lane technology for Army bases in an invitation-only private demonstration at Ft. Belvoir. Its novel solution integrated Radio-Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) technologies to identify occupants in moving vehicles, and was the only solution that met the baseline requirements. The other five participants used Facial Recognition which has significant limitations in this application.

Bulzi successfully completes adaptation of its LOCALiz® data management platform under contract by the United States Air Force (USAF). LOCALiz® organizes data from Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and wide-area geospatial data to provide situational awareness for Base Security and other applications which need to locate people and things in areas of interest.

Bulzi was one of six firms invited by the United States Army to participate in the Automated Installation Entry (AIE) Express Lane RFI. The next phase of the AIE program is designed to allow trusted and authenticated individuals to access US Army bases through an Express Lane without compromising security.

Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) and Bulzi enter into distribution agreement for the use of Draganfly Drones and Aerial Sensors in DoD Base Security applications.

Bulzi awarded a $1.5 million Phase-II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by the United States Air Force (USAF) through the AFWERX innovation program. This award builds upon previous Phase-I SBIR awards and will allow Bulzi to adapt its existing commercial technologies to enhance Department of Defense (DoD) base security.

The United States Air Force (USAF) selected Bulzi for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award for the development of an Exposure Notification System (ENS) that would help combat the spread of COVID-19. The USAF selected Bulzi from over 1,200 proposals through its AFWERX innovation program as a part of the 20.R cycle which was focused on identifying a broad range of potential COVID solutions.

Bulzi awarded a Phase-I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by the United States Air Force (USAF) through the AFWERX innovation program. This award allows Bulzi to engage with key customers and end users in the Department of Defense (DoD) community to refine its zBeacon® Internet of Things (IoT) sensor technologies to meet their mission needs.
