About this award
NASA's Shared Services Center awarded an SBIR Phase I purchase order valued at $156.5K to Memq Inc., a minority-owned small business headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The contract, awarded on August 7, 2024, supports research and development of waveguide integrated superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) on foundry silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Work is scheduled for completion by September 8, 2025. As a total small business set-aside contract with firm fixed-price terms, this award reflects NASA's investment in next-generation quantum photonic technologies developed through collaboration with qualified minority-owned contractors.
Memq Inc. brings specialized expertise in advanced photonics and quantum network device research to this engagement, with particular competency in silicon photonic integrated circuits and cryogenic quantum photonic packaging. The company has an established track record with federal agencies, including prior SBIR and STTR Phase I contracts from the Office of Naval Research and the Department of Commerce, as well as a Department of Energy Office of Science grant focused on cryogenic packaging solutions for quantum photonic components. The technical innovations pursued under this NASA contract align directly with Memq's core capabilities and support the broader federal strategy to advance quantum communication and sensing infrastructure.
