About Opticent Inc.
Opticent Inc. supplies specialized ophthalmic imaging systems and related services to the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the National Science Foundation as a prime contractor, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations. The company, headquartered in Evanston, Illinois, operates as a for-profit corporate entity developing and manufacturing optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems for clinical and research applications, with a focus on visible-light OCT (VIS-OCT) and small-animal OCT platforms.
All eight recent awards in the source are prime contracts or grants; Opticent does not subcontract. Federal grant work centers on the National Eye Institute's Small Business Innovation Research program, where Opticent received a Phase 1 SBIR award to develop a swept-source laser system for ultrafast visible-light OCT imaging. The contract footprint is dominated by purchase orders for OCT system sales and service. The National Eye Institute accounts for five awards with combined potential value of $24 thousand, followed by Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (one $134,182.75 purchase order for a small-animal OCT system delivery to the Salt Lake City VA Medical Center's Research and Development Service, awarded as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1) and the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (one $140,682.75 purchase order for a small-animal OCT system, also sole-source). Recent activity includes a $24,153 purchase order from the National Eye Institute awarded August 1, 2026, for gold service on a VIS-OCT system, with performance in Evanston and completion by July 31, 2027.
The award pattern shows sparse recent activity — one award per year in 2022, 2023, and 2026, against three awards in 2016 and one in 2017 — with a combined potential value of $299 thousand across all awards. However, the combined dollars obligated ($4.6 million) substantially exceed potential value, indicating that earlier awards have expanded in scope or value. One award (the $24,153 NEI gold service contract) reaches completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure.
