About the company
Apech Labs LLC, a Buffalo, New York-based small business, designs and develops specialized mechanical systems for space exploration and orbital operations as a prime contractor under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company operates as a for-profit limited liability company focused on advanced actuators, deployment mechanisms, and thermal management hardware for NASA and the Air Force Research Laboratory.
Apech Labs' customer base concentrates entirely on two federal agencies, each accounting for 50% of recent award volume and dollars combined. NASA's Shared Services Center (Contracting Federal Agency for NASA SBIR) has placed seven awards totaling $2.4 million combined potential value, while the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory has placed one award of $1.9 million. The NASA work centers on mechanical systems for lunar and planetary surface missions — a Phase II regolith immune linear actuator family ($849,876, July 2024, ultimate completion December 2026), a Phase II launch, deploy, and docking mechanism for half-ESPA payloads ($849,587, July 2024, completion July 2026), Phase I efforts in regolith immunity ($149,027, August 2023) and deployment mechanics ($149,537, August 2023), and two recent Phase I awards from September 2026 in lunar site preparation geotechnical instrumentation ($224,891) and heaterless rotary actuators for deep space exploration ($224,229). The Air Force award represents a Phase II SBIR for design, build, and test of functioning prototypes in a 15-launch system for orbital operations and space sustainment ($1.9 million, June 2025, completion May 2027).
Apech Labs' work footprint is characterized by high-dollar Phase II SBIR contracts completing in the near term — four awards with combined potential value of $3.2 million reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete. The vendor holds a single identified subcontract role: Apech Labs provides cryogenically compatible flight-like prototype actuation hardware in support of Creare LLC's Phase II SBIR lightweight, low-power cryogenic valve program for orbital propellant management (August 2024 sub-award). Activity has oscillated annually (two awards in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, two in 2026) across NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), with a primary PSC mix of general science and technology R&D and basic research. All work is performed in Amherst, New York or Buffalo, New York.
