About the company
Kent Optronics Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Hopewell Junction, New York, develops advanced electro-optical sensing and measurement technologies for the Department of Defense under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides as a prime contractor.
Kent Optronics' capability portfolio centers on infrared scene projectors, optical filters, sensors, laser protection devices, hyperspectral imaging, and specialized measurement systems for military applications. Recent prime work includes a $1.8 million SBIR Phase II definitive contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory awarded March 9, 2026, for an Atmospheric Transmission Laser Measurement System (ATLMS) supporting ground-based atmospheric measurement in the 0.2 to 14 micron wavelength range, with performance at Eglin Air Force Base through March 2028; a $1.976 million SBIR Phase II award from the Missile Defense Agency (January 2023) for next-generation infrared scene projector development for hypersonic hardware-in-the-loop test and evaluation; and a $1.1 million SBIR Phase II contract from Naval Sea Systems Command (March 2023) for optical technology research, completing September 2026.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Navy and Air Force. The top five funding agencies account for 67% of awards by count and 92% by potential value, with Naval Sea Systems Command anchoring the portfolio at 9 awards valued at $56.9 million combined potential value — substantially larger than the second-tier Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory at 17 awards but only $6.5 million. The Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command, Missile Defense Agency, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency round out the active customer set. This divergence between award count and dollar concentration reflects Kent Optronics' mix of Phase I efforts (lower dollar, higher count across multiple agencies) and Phase II contracts (higher ceiling value, concentrated with the Navy).
Kent Optronics holds one named parent vehicle: Basic Ordering Agreement N0016416GJQ15 with one task order valued at $2 million combined potential value. Activity has remained modest and relatively flat over the past five years — 2 awards in 2026 (year to date), 3 in 2025, 4 in 2024, and 3 in 2023 — with five awards (combined potential value $8 million) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months and facing recompete risk. Kent Optronics operates as a pure prime contractor; no subcontract activity appears in the source. Recent NAICS concentration is in research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences (22 awards), with PSC concentration in defense-related applied research and exploratory development activities. The company maintains a secondary facility in Colchester, Vermont. Combined potential value across all 67 awards is $78.4 million, with $35.2 million obligated to date (45% of ceiling).
