During it’s inaugural Pitch Day event, March 6-7 in New York City, the U.S. Air Force awarded 51 contracts totaling nearly $9M in a matter of minutes.

Delta Development’s Pitch Day idea was selected from 417 submissions reviewed to make an in-person presentation.  After giving a 5-minute pitch, Delta Development was awarded a $158K contract to develop a refrigeration product designed to help bring fresh whole blood further forward on the battlefield—saving time and lives.

Delta Development, located in Tucson AZ, is an innovator and manufacturer of rugged environment refrigeration systems, specializing in military applications. The company understands modern and efficient refrigeration science and has experience-based knowledge of extreme environment and defense requirements, with a constant focus on reliability. With STI-TEC as a mentor, they are prepared to
