About Memq Inc.
Memq Inc., a minority-owned small business based in Chicago, Illinois, conducts research and development on quantum photonic and superconducting nanowire single-photon detector technologies for federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing exclusively under total small business set-aside and other-transaction authority. The company holds no parent IDIQs or GWACs; all recent work is direct prime awards on definitive contracts, purchase orders, grants, and an Other Transaction IDV.
Memq's core capability centers on silicon photonic integrated circuits, superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs), and cryogenic quantum photonic packaging — specialized quantum-network and quantum-sensing device technologies aligned with federal quantum communications and next-generation sensing infrastructure. Representative work includes a $898,288 definitive firm fixed-price contract from the Department of Commerce's Shared Services Center for waveguide-integrated SNSPDs on foundry silicon photonic integrated circuits (award date June 23, 2026; completion date June 22, 2028), a $246,233 SBIR Phase I contract from the Office of Naval Research for quantum network device research with naval communication and sensing applications (awarded November 3, 2025; completion November 2, 2026), a $186,327 STTR Phase I contract from Commerce for optomechanical photonics on commercial foundry platforms (awarded September 29, 2025; completion October 28, 2026), a $156,451 NASA SBIR Phase I purchase order for waveguide-integrated SNSPDs on foundry silicon PICs (awarded August 7, 2024; completion September 8, 2025), and a $2.6 million Other Transaction IDV from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for Heterogeneous Architectures for Quantum (HARQ) Technical Area 1 (awarded March 4, 2026). Memq also received a grant award from the Department of Energy's Office of Science in February 2023 ($186,327 for low-loss thermomechanically stable packaging for cryogenic quantum photonic network devices).
Customer concentration spans four agencies with no dominant customer — DARPA anchors the dollar value at $2.6 million (64% of combined potential value), while NASA's Shared Services Center leads by award count with three awards totaling $1.2 million. The Office of Naval Research and the Department of Energy Office of Science account for the remainder. Three awards totaling $1.3 million in combined potential value face recompete or completion within the next twenty-four months. Memq operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data, indicating a focused, technology-driven posture in early-stage quantum photonics innovation rather than large systems integration or broad-based federal contracting.
