Definitive Contract N0002425CS219

Secrecy Labs LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in Bowie, Maryland, has been awarded a $239,514 firm fixed-price contract by the Naval Sea Systems Command for a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program action supporting the Space-Based Infrared System High (SBIRS High) program. The contract includes a kickoff briefing with an ultimate completion date of July 23, 2026, and was designated as a total small business set-aside. SBIRS High is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway that provides persistent infrared surveillance and missile warning capabilities through both space and ground segments, requiring advanced technological development across infrared sensors, data processing, automation, and visualization applications.

This award represents Secrecy Labs' entry into the SBIRS High acquisition landscape following the company's prior success with Air Force Research Laboratory contracts focused on post-quantum cryptography and advanced military communications technologies. The work will be performed in Oldtown, Maryland, and reflects the Naval Sea Systems Command's continued investment in innovative small business solutions for critical defense space systems. As a Phase I SBIR award, this contract supports the initial exploration and proof-of-concept phase of research and development, with potential progression to Phase II funding contingent upon successful results and continued program requirements.
