About the company
Cailabs, a French-domiciled optical equipment and fiber optic cable manufacturer, operates as a subcontractor (75% of recent awards) on U.S. federal defense and space research programs, with a small footprint of four total awards since 2020 and $36 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor maintains a U.S. subsidiary, Cailabs US Inc., which carries a foreign-owned designation.
Cailabs's federal work to date centers on optical equipment and fiber optic systems for research and development applications. The vendor has subcontracted to MIT Lincoln Laboratory on operation of the MIT Lincoln Laboratory Federally Funded Research and Development Center for optical equipment; to HX5 LLC on an IGF task order for DOD line-funded optical equipment; and to the University of Dayton on Proactive Research Enabling Supportable Systems (PRESS) engineering services. These three sub-awards span late September through October 2025. The single prime award, valued at $36 thousand, was placed by NASA's Shared Services Center.
Customer concentration is dispersed across four distinct federal agencies with no dollar-dominant customer. NASA's Shared Services Center anchors the identified potential value ($36 thousand), while the Department of the Air Force (both Air Education and Training Command and Materiel Command Research Laboratory) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency each hold one award. All four customer agencies appear once in the funding count.
Cailabs places task orders under three Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contracts: FA300213D0011, FA865019D5630, and FA870225DB002, each carrying one task order. The vendor's category concentration aligns with its core capability: two awards coded to R&D in physical, engineering, and life sciences (excluding nanotechnology and biotechnology), one to fiber optic cable manufacturing, and one to fiber optic devices under PSC coding.
Activity is nascent. The source shows one award in 2020 and three awards in 2025, with a gap in reporting for intervening years. Obligated dollars ($199 thousand) exceed combined potential value by 553 percent, indicating that actual invoiced work has substantially exceeded contract ceiling estimates. No recompete cliff is visible in the next twenty-four months given the small scale and recent award dates.
