Laminaredge Aerospace LLC

Laminaredge Aerospace LLC, a SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, operates as a prime contractor on defense research and development contracts and as a subcontractor supporting Air Force operations, with early-stage federal exposure concentrated in aerospace measurement technology and air-defense systems research.

Laminaredge is a for-profit limited-liability company and a self-certified small disadvantaged business competing predominantly in full-and-open settings rather than set-asides. The vendor's recent prime footprint spans four federal agencies across two distinct capability areas: high-capacity internal balance technology development for aerospace testing, and multi-domain air and missile defense systems research and integration. Representative work includes a $139,849.65 Small Business Innovation Research Phase I contract awarded by the Air Force Research Laboratory on June 9, 2025, to develop high-capacity internal balance systems for measurement and testing applications in aerospace engineering, with ultimate completion set for December 9, 2025. A second prime award, dated January 29, 2025, is a cooperative agreement with USAF DFAS for high-speed aerodynamic and global optical diagnostic research in the USAFA Aeronautics Research Center, running through January 28, 2030. Laminaredge also holds a seat on the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) indefinite-delivery contract awarded by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025 — a multi-billion-dollar, full-and-open multiple-award IDIQ with a ceiling value of $151 billion and performance extending through December 2035, designed to procure research, development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity work across air, missile, space, and cyber defense domains, with work locations including Huntsville, Alabama.

Customer concentration remains nascent: the Department of the Air Force (through the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory, Air Combat Command, and Defense Finance and Accounting Service) accounts for 50% of recent awards by count, while the Missile Defense Agency anchors the remaining volume. Activity has ramped sharply — one award in 2024 rising to five in 2025 — with five awards carrying very early completion dates (one as near as December 2025) and potential recompete exposure beginning immediately. In its subcontractor role, Laminaredge provides technical management and advisory services to CQ JV, LLC under the Technical Management and Advisory Services (TMAS 2) AEDC contract at the Arnold Engineering Development Complex, with sub awards dated March 1, 2024, and October 1, 2025.

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.
