About Menhir Photonics AG
Menhir Photonics AG, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of specialized photonics and optoelectronic equipment, operates as a subcontractor on defense research and development programs (67% of recent awards) and secured one direct prime contract with NASA as a sole-source vendor. The vendor is an international for-profit organization with no set-aside designations; the company manufactures goods classified under NAICS 334413 (Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing) and delivers mission-critical optical and telecommunications components to U.S. federal agencies.
The vendor's federal footprint spans three customer agencies across a narrow timeframe. NASA's Shared Services Center placed the single prime award — a $121,572 sole-source purchase order for the MENHIR-1550 Laser system, competed under an exceptionally compressed window (posted November 17, 2025, deadline November 19) and concluded November 21, 2025, reflecting NASA's determination that the vendor's equipment carries unique technical specifications unavailable from alternative suppliers. The Air Force Research Laboratory's Sensors Directorate engaged Menhir as a subcontractor to KBR Wyle Services for optoelectronic technology research under the Aerospace Components and Subsystems Division (award November 5, 2024), and the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime placed work with Menhir through Marvin Engineering Co as a subcontractor on a Department of Defense laser procurement task order (award September 30, 2025).
Activity is nascent — one award in 2024 and two in 2025 — with combined potential value of $122 thousand, though obligated dollars across all awards total $406 thousand, indicating earlier or accelerated spending against lower ceiling values. The vendor sits on the Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPM7LX08D7005), each supporting one task order. Subcontract work centers on optoelectronic research and laser component supply to defense primes supporting Air Force and DoD missions.
