About the company
Karlsruher Institut Fuer Technologie, doing business as Karlsruhe Institute Of Technology (KIT), is a German non-profit research institution that serves as a prime contractor and subrecipient on federal research and development awards, with recent work centered on silicon pixel detector design and fabrication for NASA astrophysics missions and participation in experimental nuclear physics grants through university partners. KIT operates from Karlsruhe, Germany, and competes under full-and-open procurement — no set-aside designations appear across its federal footprint.
KIT's federal customer base spans four agencies. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center leads by potential value, with two purchase orders totaling $326 thousand for silicon CMOS pixel detectors under the AstroPix astrophysics program, including a July 2026 sole-source award for $263,959 covering design and fabrication of a 36-by-34-pixel matrix detector with integrated amplifiers and QSPI digital interfaces (performance through December 31, 2027) and a September 2023 award of $61,642 for printed CMOS silicon pixel detectors (completed September 15, 2023). The Department of Energy Office of Science accounts for three awards across the footprint; the Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management holds one award valued at $103 thousand; and the Department of the Navy holds two awards. As a subrecipient, KIT participates in experimental nuclear physics grants awarded to the University of Washington, with sub-award dates in December 2023, December 2024, and July 2025.
Activity is sparse and irregular — one award in 2015, then a two-year gap before awards resumed in 2023 — with the most recent activity in July 2026. KIT's obligated dollars ($2.7 million across all awards) substantially exceed its combined potential value ($429 thousand), indicating invoice velocity exceeding remaining ceiling values on active or recently closed awards. One award, the July 2026 NASA AstroPix detector contract, faces ultimate completion and recompete within the next twenty-four months, carrying potential value of $264 thousand. KIT's federal footprint reflects specialized instrumentation and detector-physics capability rather than broad service integration; no parent vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs) appear in the source data.
