About the company
Lookin, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Los Angeles, California, develops and manufactures high-speed terahertz imaging systems for nondestructive evaluation and real-time defect detection in aerospace, space, energy, and advanced manufacturing applications, operating exclusively as a prime contractor on federal contracts and grants under Total Small Business set-asides.
Lookin's capability portfolio centers on terahertz scanner design and nondestructive testing technologies applied to mission-critical quality control. Representative work includes a $888,312 NASA Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract awarded June 1, 2023 (ultimate completion August 31, 2025) for development of high-throughput and high-sensitivity terahertz scanners to evaluate non-conductive coatings and thermal protection systems in space applications; a $1.885 million Office of Naval Research Definitive Contract awarded April 8, 2022 (extending through April 7, 2027) for research and development in nondestructive testing and evaluation using terahertz imaging; and a $70,129 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Air Force Research Laboratory awarded June 25, 2026 (ultimate completion September 25, 2026) for a high-speed terahertz imaging system supporting real-time defect detection in aerospace composite structures. Lookin has also received two federal grant awards from the Department of Energy Office of Science (both awarded July 10, 2023, with ultimate completion March 6, 2027) for high-throughput terahertz scanning applied to battery electrode manufacturing quality assessment and in-line quality control for low-temperature fuel cell and electrolyzer production.
Customer concentration across five distinct federal agencies reflects Lookin's specialization in advanced R&D. The Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research accounts for $2.1 million in combined potential value across two awards; NASA's Shared Services Center carries $1 million across two awards; and the Department of Energy Office of Science funds three awards. A single award each rounds out activity with the Food and Drug Administration and the Air Force Research Laboratory. Nine total awards (all prime, zero subcontract work) across contracted and grant instruments amount to $3.2 million in combined potential value, though obligated funding of $6.9 million signals project invoicing or cost overruns above initial contract ceilings. Three awards (combined potential value $1.9 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete exposure across the ONR extended contract and the NASA and DOE grant instruments. Activity shows intermittent awards (one to three per year since 2019) rather than sustained high-volume procurement, with the most recent Air Force order placed June 25, 2026. Lookin's work spans applied R&D in physical and engineering sciences, with secondary exposure to defense-related applied research and basic research categories.
