About Lightmachinery Inc.
Lightmachinery Inc., a Canadian manufacturer of advanced optical components and precision optical systems headquartered in Nepean, Ontario, supplies specialized optical instrumentation to U.S. federal research and development agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards), competing full-and-open without set-aside designations. The vendor manufactures Virtually Imaged Phase Arrays (VIPAs), Raman spectrometers, etalons, hyperfine spectrometers, and related precision optical devices for scientific and measurement applications across NAICS 334514 (Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing) and PSC codes centered on optical instruments and laboratory equipment.
Lightmachinery's federal customer base concentrates heavily on research agencies. The top five funding agencies account for 88% of recent awards by count and 95% by combined potential value, anchored by the Office of Naval Research (12 awards, $674 thousand combined potential value), NASA Shared Services Center (10 awards, $595 thousand), and NASA Goddard Space Center (12 awards, $462 thousand), with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (9 awards, $123 thousand) and the Air Force Research Laboratory rounding out the active set. The two rankings show consistent concentration — ONR leads both volume and dollars — and activity spans nine distinct customer agencies across the Navy, NASA, Department of Commerce, and Air Force. Representative recent contracts include a $71.9 thousand sole-source Air Force Research Laboratory purchase order for four specialized VIPAs across 350–1700 nanometer wavelength ranges (June 2025), a $32.4 thousand NIST purchase order for a VIPA pump suppression module (May 2026), a $22.3 thousand Shared Services Center purchase order for a Raman spatial heterodyne spectrometer in the 530–690 nanometer range (February 2025), and a $52.5 thousand Office of Naval Research purchase order for a piezo-tunable air-spaced etalon (May 2022). All prime awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders with no small business set-aside designation.
Activity has slowed materially in recent years — two awards in 2022, three in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with two awards (combined potential value $280 thousand) completing inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor maintains a single federal grant sub-award as a sub-recipient under Southwest Research Institute, performing specialized interferometer design and manufacture work under a May 2024 sub-award. Combined potential value across all fifty-one awards in the source data is $2 million, with combined obligated dollars at $2.2 million.
