About the company
Karax LLC, a limited liability partnership based in East Lansing, Michigan, operates as a prime contractor on small-business set-aside research and development contracts for federal agencies, with all four recent awards designated Total Small Business. The vendor competes exclusively under set-asides and carries no subcontract footprint; all awards are prime positions.
Karax delivers applied research and materials science engineering services, with a narrow focus on spacecraft component qualification and condition monitoring. Recent work includes a $224,903 Small Business Innovation Research Phase I contract awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center on September 30, 2026, for validated lifetime prediction modeling of hydrazine-compatible elastomers in long-duration spaceflight (completion March 30, 2027); a $249,632 SPACEWERX ORBITAL PRIME definitive contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory awarded July 11, 2022; and a federal grant from the Department of Energy Office of Science for physics-based machine learning tools for in-situ cable condition monitoring. The vendor also holds a Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center award valued at $240 thousand, reflecting naval aviation systems exposure.
Customer concentration is uniformly distributed across four distinct agencies — NASA, the Air Force, the Navy, and the Department of Energy — with no single customer anchoring the footprint. Award volume is sparse and episodic: one award per year across 2021, 2022, 2025, and 2026, with combined potential value of $714 thousand. One award (the NASA SBIR Phase I contract) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represents the current recompete horizon. Karax's recent award portfolio concentrates in research and development within physical sciences and engineering (three of four awards) and defense-related basic research (two awards under PSC classification), positioning the vendor as a small specialized research firm rather than a high-volume federal contractor.
