About Kapteyn-Murnane Laboratories, Inc.
Kapteyn-Murnane Laboratories, Inc., doing business as Kmlabs, a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Boulder, Colorado, designs and manufactures high-performance ultrafast lasers, vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) light sources, and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) systems for federal research and development agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) and occasionally as a sub-recipient on federally funded research grants.
Kmlabs operates in the analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing space (NAICS 334515 and related categories) and competes predominantly on a full-and-open basis without set-aside designation, though it has held one total small business set-aside award. The company's customer concentration is sharply concentrated in scientific research agencies. The top five agencies account for 76% of recent awards by count, dominated by the Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology (21 awards, $5.1 million combined potential value), the Department of Energy (13 awards), and the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (9 awards, $2.8 million). By potential value, NIST leads with $5.1 million across 21 awards, followed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ($3 million across 4 awards) and AFMCRL ($2.8 million). Representative contract work includes a $1.197 million firm fixed-price purchase order from NIST (awarded July 2023) for design, manufacture, and delivery of a tabletop vacuum and EUV source for spatially coherent radiation between 10–150 nanometers; a $665,200 CHIPS R&D purchase order from NIST (awarded August 2025) for a 10 VUV light source with completion by November 2028; and a $250,000 small business set-aside purchase order from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (awarded April 2026) under SBIR Topic OSD25D-001 for a tunable VUV laser source. Additional recent work includes a $286,920 ultrafast pump-probe laser system delivered to the Office of Naval Research and a $90,900 NIST purchase order for an infrared rejector mirror pair with ion plasma cleaner and filter wheel (May 2026).
Kmlabs also receives direct project grants from the Department of Energy Office of Science for ultrafast laser technology development (a grant completed March 2025 for technology at 2-millimeter wavelength, and a second grant extending to June 2026). In its sub-recipient role, Kmlabs partners with the University of Colorado Regents on two federally funded research grants in advanced ultrafast laser development, including a DARPA SUNSPOT project for bright VUV frequency combs and a follow-on nuclear spectroscopy initiative where Kmlabs leads laser development tasks (Tasks 1–3) in parallel with JILA research teams. Activity has remained modest and episodic (1 award in 2021, 1 in 2022, 3 in 2023, 5 in 2025, 2 in 2026), with four awards (combined potential value $341 thousand) completing within the next twenty-four months. The combined dollars obligated across all awards ($31.5 million) exceed the stated combined potential value ($13.8 million), indicating significant contract modifications and extensions over time. Kmlabs does not hold prime seats on government-wide vehicles such as GWACs or agency-wide IDIQs; its work flows through individual purchase orders and project grants.
