Geolabe LLC

Geolabe LLC, a Los Alamos, New Mexico-based small disadvantaged business, provides Earth data analytics through machine learning and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) processing as a prime research recipient and contractor (89% of recent awards), working predominantly on federal SBIR programs and research grants without set-aside restrictions. The firm operates as a limited liability partnership structured for small business innovation research and development.

Geolabe's capability portfolio centers on automated InSAR processing, deep learning detection of ground deformation, and subsurface monitoring for geophysical and infrastructure applications. Representative work includes a $830,519 NASA SBIR Phase II contract awarded August 31, 2023 (ultimate completion August 31, 2025) to estimate groundwater dynamics through artificial intelligence and InSAR technology; a $156,306 NASA SBIR Phase I contract from July 25, 2022 on the same groundwater dynamics topic; a $148,676 one-year study contract from the Department of State Bureau of Arms Control Verification and Compliance, awarded September 19, 2022, for automated InSAR processing to monitor ground deformation; and a $622,713 NASA research grant awarded June 23, 2022 for autonomous detection of fault deformation in InSAR time series using deep learning. Geolabe also holds a $254,707 NSF project grant under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) awarded March 1, 2023 to develop machine learning methods for automating InSAR processing, and a $199,610 Department of Energy Office of Science grant from February 14, 2022 to develop monitoring techniques for underground gas storage facilities. Most recently, NASA awarded a $495,300 project grant on July 10, 2026 under the Science program (CFDA 43.001) for execution of a balanced science program through July 9, 2028.

Customer concentration is heavily tilted toward NASA. The Shared Services Center accounts for five awards and $1.6 million of the $2.1 million combined potential value across all awards; the remaining four awards split among the Department of State, National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, and Department of the Air Force. All five distinct customer agencies are represented equally in both the award-count and potential-value rankings. Only one award (the subcontract to Geolabe under a Department of the Air Force contract for machine intelligence in nuclear explosion monitoring, dated February 1, 2024) faces recompete within the next twenty-four months. Geolabe subcontracts minimally; the single sub-award requires provision of personnel, materials, and facilities for nuclear explosion monitoring support under an Air Force prime contract.

Geolabe's activity pattern shows front-loaded volume: five awards in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2026. Awards are concentrated in research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences, with secondary exposure in space R&D and environmental assessment services. The combined dollars obligated ($3.6 million) exceed the combined potential value ($2.1 million) by 76%, indicating that several awards have been invoiced above their ceiling values or carry overhead recovery mechanisms. Geolabe's federal footprint remains nascent and NASA-centric, with no presence on government-wide contract vehicles.

Geolabe LLC develops artificial intelligence software for automated remote sensing data processing analysis.

Remote sensing data is being collected at an ever increasing pace, overwhelming legacy systems. Geolabe LLC is creating AI systems to automatically process and extract information from large remote sensing data streams, in the domains of environmental monitoring, geophysical monitoring, atmospheric pollution monitoring.
