About the company
Hedgefog Research Inc., a small business manufacturer based in San Pedro, California, develops advanced sensor and instrumentation technologies for federal research agencies as a prime contractor, competing exclusively under the Total Small Business set-aside across SBIR Phase I and Phase II contracts and federal research grants. The company structures as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and specializes in wearable physiological sensors, spectrometry systems, aerosol ionization mass spectrometry, cryogenic instrumentation, and environmental monitoring technologies with applications across defense, aerospace, and space sectors.
Hedgefog's customer base concentrates heavily in federal R&D funding. The top five funding agencies account for 61% of awards by count and 65% of combined potential value, led by NASA's Shared Services Center (9 awards, $3.2 million), the Air Force Research Laboratory (5 awards, $3 million), and the Defense Health Agency (3 awards, $2.5 million). The Army's Research Development and Engineering Command, Naval Air Systems Command's Naval Air Warfare Center, and the Department of Energy's Office of Science round out the active set. Hedgefog operates exclusively as a prime contractor — 100% of its 44 recent awards are prime contracts or grants with zero subcontractor role — indicating a vertically integrated research and development model with no significant sub engagement.
Representative capability work spans multiple defense and civilian research priorities. Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $1.7 million SBIR Phase II contract (May 2025) for contact lens integrated physiological sensors, with ultimate completion in August 2027. The Army's Research Development and Engineering Command issued a $1.9 million SBIR Phase II contract (September 2023) for wearable technologies for physiological monitoring, extended through June 2026. NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $849,996 SBIR Phase II contract (May 2023) for a pyrometer for regolith-extracted oxygen, supporting lunar in-situ resource utilization research. Recent 2024–2026 awards include a $239,999 Naval Facilities Engineering Command research and development contract (April 2026), a $224,996 Shared Services Center SBIR Phase I for cryogenic umbilical cord (CRUMS) technology (September 2026), and a $179,998 Air Force Research Laboratory SBIR Phase I for TAPS flowmeter development (September 2024). Hedgefog also holds federal grant awards from the Department of Energy Office of Science: a $199,997 Project Grant (CFDA 81.049) for Spin Polarized Electron Emission Device (SPEED) awarded in February 2024, and a cooperative agreement for a Remote LIDAR Methane Sensor (RELMS) beginning July 2023.
Activity has declined materially from four awards in 2022 and seven in 2023 to two awards each in 2025 and 2026, with only three awards (combined potential value $2.2 million) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The 35 awards classified under NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) indicate a pure-play federal R&D footprint with no commercial services or IDICs — Hedgefog competes through SBIR topic announcements and federal grant competitions, not standing IDIQs or vehicles.
