About Ion Optics Inc.
Ion Optics Inc., doing business as Cosmo Optics, manufactures high-precision optical components and assemblies for defense and aerospace applications as a prime contractor exclusively, holding a self-certified HUBZone joint-venture designation and operating from Albany, New York. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, which recur across roughly 60% of its prime footprint; the remainder compete full-and-open. Ion Optics is structured as a for-profit corporate entity and describes itself as a manufacturer of goods specializing in spherical and cylindrical lenses, windows, mirrors, and prisms.
The company's customer concentration is heavily concentrated with Naval Air Warfare Center (Naval Air Systems Command), which accounts for ten awards valued at $25.6 million combined potential value and dominates the top-customers-by-potential-value ranking, followed by Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (46 awards, $4.4 million combined potential value) and DLA Aviation (22 awards, $2 million combined potential value). These three customers represent 92% of all recent awards. The Naval Air Warfare Center anchors the portfolio through a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $4.999 million with performance extending through June 2029, which has generated seven task orders totaling $20.4 million in combined potential value. Ion Optics also holds multiple single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation—the most active vehicle, an IDC with DLA Land and Maritime, carries 15 task orders valued at $327 thousand combined potential value. Representative prime work includes a $235,900 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for aircraft lens assemblies (awarded January 9, 2026, ultimate completion November 5, 2026), a $171,000 lens assembly and pay office modification from Naval Air Warfare Center (October 4, 2024), and a $63,280 window replacement purchase order from NASA Shared Services Center under total small business set-aside (December 26, 2024).
Category concentration shows the bulk of the company's work falls under NAICS Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing (52 awards) and Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing (17 awards); PSC-level concentration centers on Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components and Accessories (30 awards) and Aircraft Gunnery Fire Control Components (23 awards). Activity has remained modest with four awards in 2022 declining to one in 2023, then recovering to twelve in 2024 and seven in 2025, then four in 2026 through mid-April. Over ninety total awards carry a combined potential value of $32.3 million, though only $3.5 million (11%) is obligated across all awards, reflecting the typical delay between ceiling values and actual invoiced delivery. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal—two awards with combined potential value of $278 thousand face ultimate completion within the window.
