About the company
Interuniversitair Micro-Electronica Centrum, doing business as Imec, is a Belgium-based non-profit research center that manufactures and supplies Neuropixels neural recording probes and related neurophysiology electronics to federal biomedical research agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open firm fixed price purchase orders. The vendor competes without set-aside designation across the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related federal research institutions.
Imec's federal capability portfolio centers on the design, fabrication, and delivery of high-channel-count neural recording systems — specifically Neuropixels probes, headstages, PXIe acquisition boards, and associated accessories used in neuroscience research to record neural activity simultaneously from hundreds of neurons. Representative prime purchase orders include a $81,463.75 firm fixed price order from the National Eye Institute (awarded August 2026) for Neuropixels electronics headstages and acquisition boards, a $41,887.40 order from the National Institute of Mental Health (May 2025) for Neuropixels electrodes supporting nonhuman primate brain studies, a $73,943.10 order from NIH's Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (May 2023) for high-channel probes developed for simultaneous neuronal recording, and a $73,327.10 order from the National Eye Institute (June 2023) for high-channel probes. All work is performed in Belgium with firm fixed price terms and no set-aside designation.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the National Institutes of Health. The top five funding agencies account for 63% of awards by count and 82% by combined potential value, led by the NIH National Eye Institute (3 awards, $155 thousand combined potential value) and the NIH National Institute of Mental Health (5 awards, $122 thousand combined potential value), with the NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the Veterans Integrated Service Networks 20 and 21 representing secondary accounts. Imec holds no parent contract vehicles or GWACs; all federal awards are direct purchase orders against individual research initiatives.
Activity has been episodic — one award in 2022, five in 2023, three in 2024, four in 2025, and one in the first months of 2026 — with a combined potential value across all nineteen awards of approximately $492 thousand, but combined dollars obligated (largely through grant sub-awards) reaching $8.6 million. Imec operates as a sub-recipient on three federal biomedical research grants: a design task under the University of California San Francisco on intraocular-pressure sensor fabrication (September 2025), a circuit optimization task under Johns Hopkins University on high-channel neural systems (March 2025), and a significant National Institute of Mental Health-funded Phase 2 and Phase 3 effort under the Allen Institute for the development of Neuropixels Opto dual-wavelength optoprobes for simultaneous optostimulation and electrical recording (May 2024). Imec maintains two named subsidiaries: Imec USA Nanoelectronics Design Center, Inc., a non-profit organization, and Imec.ic-Link USA, Inc., a for-profit foreign-owned entity, though the source does not specify their operational roles or revenue contribution.
