Excelitas Technologies Corp

Excelitas Technologies Corp, doing business as Research Electro-Optics, is a for-profit corporate entity specializing in advanced optical components and prototypes primarily for defense and scientific applications. Registered in SAM.gov and located in Boulder, Colorado, the company focuses on manufacturing high-precision optical technologies including specialized optical assemblies, optical filters, prisms, mirrors, and power supply systems. Their technical expertise spans multiple domains, with a strong emphasis on producing sophisticated optical and electro-optical components for complex technological systems.

The company has an extensive history of providing sub-contract services to major defense contractors, particularly Lockheed Martin Corporation and Raytheon Company. Their federal contract sub-awards demonstrate a diverse portfolio of optical components, including polarizing beamsplitters, mirror assemblies, prism mechanisms, dichroic filters, lens materials, and specialized optical assemblies. These components have supported various defense and aerospace programs, with specific work involving laser targeting systems, sensor payloads, and optical mechanisms for military platforms. Most of their sub-contract awards have been non-set-aside procurements, indicating their competitive market position. Funding agencies have primarily included defense-related organizations, with Lockheed Martin being their most frequent prime contractor partner.

Excelitas Technologies Corp holds a significant Other Transaction indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDV) contract with the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), valued at $210,807, awarded in September 2022. This IDV enables the company to provide specialized optical prototypes on an as-needed basis for unspecified Special Operations programs. The contract operates outside traditional Federal Acquisition Regulation frameworks, positioning Excelitas to deliver critical optical technologies directly to special operations platforms. The IDV allows flexibility in producing advanced optical components such as beam expanding optics, visible/infrared beamsplitters, laser prisms, and other precision optical assemblies tailored to specific military technological requirements.
