About the company
Oblate Optics Inc., a small business based in San Diego, California, develops advanced optical engineering solutions for defense and research applications, operating exclusively as a prime contractor under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program with the Department of the Air Force, Department of the Army, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The company specializes in inverse-designed lightweight planar focus lenses and related optical components spanning visible to long-wave infrared wavelengths, with all recent work set-aside for total small business participation.
Oblate Optics' customer concentration is distributed across four defense R&D agencies. The Air Force Research Laboratory dominates in both award count and dollar value, accounting for 2 awards and $2 million in combined potential value; the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency anchors a single $1.3 million award; the Department of the Army carries 1 award at $250 thousand; and the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command holds 1 award at $111 thousand. All five tracked awards fall within NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), positioning Oblate Optics as a specialized R&D vendor rather than a production contractor.
Recent capability work centers on hyperspectral imaging optics. The company secured a $1.8 million firm fixed-price Phase II SBIR contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory (awarded January 2026, performance through January 2028) for inverse-designed lightweight planar focus lenses for visible to long-wave infrared hyperspectral imaging, performed at the company's Rancho Santa Fe facility. Prior to that, Oblate Optics won a $249,723.57 Phase I SBIR contract from the Department of the Army (January 2025) and a $179,960 Phase I SBIR contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory (October 2024), both addressing inverse-designed planar optics for hyperspectral applications. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $3.7 million, with $3.3 million obligated (89% realization). Activity is sparse but recurring — one to two awards per year since 2020 — with a single award ($1.8 million) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
