Laminaredge Aerospace LLC

Laminaredge Aerospace LLC, a women-owned small business based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, operates as a prime contractor on federal research and development programs and as a subcontractor on defense technical management work, competing predominantly under small business set-asides on innovation-focused procurements.

Laminaredge's portfolio centers on advanced sensor and measurement technology development for aerospace and defense applications. The vendor holds a prime seat on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) Multiple Award IDIQ issued by the Missile Defense Agency with a $151 billion ceiling and a period of performance extending through December 28, 2035; SHIELD procures research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity work in support of integrated air and missile defense capabilities, with performance locations including Huntsville, Alabama. Recent prime awards include a $224,995 firm fixed-price Small Business Innovation Research Phase I contract from the Shared Services Center (ultimate completion March 30, 2027) for magnetron sputtered high temperature sensor development, a $139,850 SBIR Phase I purchase order from the Air Force Research Laboratory (ultimate completion December 9, 2025) for high-capacity internal balance technology feasibility studies, and a cooperative agreement with the Air Force Academy (ultimate completion January 28, 2030) for high-speed aerodynamic and global optical diagnostic research. Laminaredge also placed a $500 delivery order against SHIELD itself under the Missile Defense Agency.

Customer concentration spans five federal agencies across research-intensive portfolios. The Shared Services Center, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and the Missile Defense Agency account for the top three customers by dollar value, with the Air Force Academy and Air Combat Command rounding out the active set. Activity has grown from one award in 2024 to five in 2025, with one award (the SBIR Phase I from AFRL) facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. The combined potential value of recent awards is $365 thousand, though obligated amounts ($1.6 million) exceed potential-value figures, reflecting adjustment to contract ceilings. Laminaredge subcontracts to CQ JV, LLC on Technical Management and Advisory Services (TMAS 2) work at the Arnold Engineering Development Complex (two sub awards, March 2024 and October 2025). The vendor's award portfolio concentrates in NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), with secondary coding in national defense R&D services and general science and technology. Service Contract Inventory data reports 1.0 FTE delivered on federal services contracts in FY2025, reflecting minimal SCI-reportable service work; the bulk of Laminaredge's federal footprint is R&D and product development, not labor-hour services.

LaminarEdge personnel have extensive T&E experience, including a collective 20 years of experience in ground testing. Our personnel have directly supported countless test and analysis efforts in subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic wind tunnels across the Nation. We have supported the ground test campaigns of multiple acquisition programs at various facilities including hypervelocity ranges, rocket cells, space chambers, climatic chambers, sled tracks, ordinance ranges, arcjets, and propulsion test cells. We have provided analysis support to flight test events, including 6 degree of freedom modeling in support of limited flight clearance letters and post-flight reconciliation with aerodynamic databases. Through this prior work, we have developed proficiency in working in high temperature, high speed, and large-scale ground test facilities, and gained a deep understanding of how instrumentation design and selection should be driven by the technical test objectives and KPPs.
