About the company
Institut National D'Optique, doing business as INO, is a Canadian non-profit organization and manufacturer registered to receive awards from the U.S. federal government since January 2002. INO specializes in providing optical and photonic solutions, including advanced camera systems, optical components, and related technologies. The company has established itself as a valuable partner for U.S. government projects requiring cutting-edge imaging and sensing capabilities, particularly in the aerospace and defense sectors. INO's expertise spans a wide range of optical and photonic technologies, enabling them to deliver innovative products and services to various federal agencies.
Through federal contract awards, INO has demonstrated its capability to provide specialized optical and imaging equipment to multiple government agencies. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center has been a significant client, awarding INO several purchase orders for advanced camera systems. These include MICROCAM camera modules and a room temperature terahertz camera from INO's D8 Discover instrument, each valued at over $50,000. NASA has also contracted INO for graded reflectivity mirrors, infrared camera retrofitting, counter pumping amplifier engines, and uncooled detector cameras. The Department of the Navy has engaged INO for camera repair services, specifically for a MICROXCAM-384i-THz Camera MXC-065 unit, highlighting INO's expertise as an original equipment manufacturer. Additionally, INO has served as a subcontractor to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, providing optical equipment for defense-related projects. Notably, these federal contracts have been awarded without small business set-asides, indicating INO's competitive standing in the broader market for specialized optical and photonic technologies.
In the realm of federal grant awards, INO has participated as a sub-grantee in projects related to advanced imaging systems. One such instance involves a sub-grant award under a prime grant to The Johns Hopkins University. For this project, INO was tasked with providing a Multispectral Imaging Comp. Radiometer (MICR) set of two detector assemblies. This sub-grant demonstrates INO's capability to contribute specialized optical components to broader research initiatives funded by federal grant programs. The involvement in this grant project further underscores INO's expertise in developing and manufacturing cutting-edge optical and imaging technologies that support scientific research and exploration objectives of U.S. government agencies.
