About the company
Luna Labs USA LLC, a small business division of Luna Innovations Incorporated, delivers advanced materials, biomedical device development, fiber optic sensing systems, and research and development services to federal defense and civilian agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides across SBIR and STTR programs. The company is headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia, and operates from the same location, with recent work spanning aerospace, medical, chemical/biological detection, and energy sectors.
Luna Labs' customer concentration sits heavily with defense and health research agencies. The top five funding agencies account for 50% of recent awards: Defense Health Agency leads with 22 awards ($14.3 million combined potential value), followed by Naval Air Warfare Center (20 awards, $12.1 million), Army Research Development and Engineering Command (16 awards, $11.4 million), Office of Naval Research (15 awards, $12 million), and Air Force Research Laboratory (14 awards, $7.6 million). However, the dollar rankings diverge sharply — the Air Force dominates potential value through a single $975 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Rapid Sustainment Office running through July 2033, awarded July 30, 2024. Under this vehicle, Luna Labs delivers dissipative coatings, self-healing materials, wearable physiological monitoring systems, and automated spectrometry solutions. Beyond that IDC, Luna Labs' work skews toward smaller R&D awards, with the 22 DHA awards and Naval Air Warfare Center work anchoring the next tier of dollar value.
Luna Labs' capability portfolio centers on advanced materials technologies, biomedical device development, and sensing systems for military and health applications. Representative contract examples include a $1.397 million total small business set-aside from the Army Research Development and Engineering Command (May 2026) for development of porous organic polymers for rapid uptake and decontamination of threat chemicals; a $1.299 million Defense Health Agency Phase II SBIR award (April 2026) for field-deployable neuroprotective liposomes for traumatic brain injury treatment; a $1.999 million Office of Naval Research cost-plus-fixed-fee contract (January 2026) for research and development; and a $1.95 million Naval Sea Systems Command SBIR Phase II award (September 2024) for Space-Based Infrared System High research supporting infrared sensors and data processing. The company also holds federal grant awards from civilian agencies: a $175 thousand Department of Agriculture SBIR award (September 2025) for droplet-based diagnostic platforms detecting microRNAs in barley yellow dwarf virus, and several Department of Energy Office of Science grants for carbon capture, flow battery membranes, and composite materials (2022–2023 awards ranging from $199 thousand to $206 thousand).
Activity has remained steady across the past five years, with 38 awards in 2022, 40 in 2023, 32 in 2024, 30 in 2025, and 9 through late September 2026. Twenty-three awards (combined potential value $29.9 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represent near-term recompete opportunity. The company operates as a prime contractor on 97% of awards, with only five sub-awards across the source period, indicating Luna Labs self-performs the majority of its delivery. Across SCI-reportable service contracts (a strict subset capturing federal services above $150 thousand annually), Luna Labs reported $4.1 million in invoiced revenue across fiscal years 2022–2025, scaling between 2.1 and 3.1 FTEs, with government-paid hourly rates ranging from a 10th percentile of $82.45/hr to a median of $238.51/hr and 90th percentile of $289.29/hr — indicating a mix of junior technical labor and senior scientific staff. The company names no significant subcontractors on SCI records, performing substantially all work with internal teams.
Luna Labs USA LLC is a subsidiary of Luna Innovations Incorporated, headquartered in Blacksburg, Virginia (with a secondary Roanoke location cited in some contracts). The parent company holds a diverse portfolio spanning optical fiber sensing, advanced materials, and specialized defense technologies, with Luna Labs functioning as the federal R&D and small business vehicle. A separate subsidiary, 3 Waves, Inc., is listed in the corporate structure.
