Imagize, LLC

Imagize, LLC, a Berkeley, California-based small business manufacturer of advanced imaging and augmented reality systems, operates exclusively as a prime contractor on Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards from the Air Force Research Laboratory, with all twelve prime awards in its federal footprint designated as total small business set-asides. The company is structured as a for-profit limited liability company and competes entirely within set-aside vehicles rather than full-and-open competitions.

Imagize's capability portfolio centers on electro-optical systems, night vision imaging, and augmented reality technologies for military defense applications. The company has demonstrated sustained technical progression through multiple SBIR phases under the Air Force Research Laboratory. Representative work includes a $1.8 million Phase II definitive contract awarded in March 2026 for development of the Power Efficient Digital Binocular Night Vision Imaging System (PEDBNVIS), with performance and ultimate completion in May 2028; a $1.4 million SBIR Phase II contract awarded in July 2025 for the Digital Multisensory Augmented Reality for Special Warfare (DMARS) program, building on a prior Phase I SBIR from September 2023; and earlier Phase I SBIR work on the LENSOR monolithic electro-optical system in November 2021 ($49,997). Imagize's prior awards also include a $179,983.54 Phase I contract from February 2024 for the night vision system and a $149,971 Phase I contract from September 2023 for the DMARS initiative.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The Air Force Research Laboratory accounts for nine awards (100% of potential value at $4.6 million), with the Department of the Navy holding three awards of unspecified dollar magnitude. Two awards totaling $3.2 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. Imagize has no subcontract footprint — all awards are prime. The vendor's activity rate remains sparse, averaging less than one award per year across the past five years, and the entire federal footprint remains confined to Air Force Research Laboratory SBIR competitions and Navy programs.
