About the company
Opticent Inc., based in Evanston, Illinois, manufactures and services advanced ophthalmic imaging systems—specifically optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices for clinical and research use—and operates exclusively as a prime contractor on federal procurements, with no subcontract activity in the source data. The vendor holds no formal SBA certifications and competes under full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.
Opticent's concrete capability portfolio centers on visible-light OCT (VIS-OCT) systems, swept-source laser technology for ophthalmic imaging, small-animal OCT platforms, and maintenance services on deployed systems. Representative work includes a $24,153 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the National Eye Institute (awarded August 2026, performing through July 2027) for gold service on a VIS-OCT system; a $134,183 sole-source purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (April 2023) delivering a Small-Animal OCT system to the Salt Lake City VA Medical Center's Research and Development Service under FAR 6.302-1; and a $140,683 sole-source purchase order from the National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (September 2022) for another Small-Animal OCT platform to the same VA facility.
Customer concentration is acute and research-focused. The National Institutes of Health National Eye Institute anchors the portfolio with five awards totaling $24 thousand in combined potential value, followed by the VA (one award, $134 thousand) and NIH's Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (one award, $141 thousand). All eight total federal awards across the source period target biomedical research and clinical ophthalmology missions.
Opticent also operates as a grant recipient under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, having received a Phase 1 grant from the National Eye Institute (awarded June 2023, completed May 2024) to develop a novel swept-source laser system for ultrafast VIS-OCT imaging using photonic bandgap fiber technology and fiber Bragg grating arrays. Activity is sparse and episodic—three awards in 2016, one in 2017, one in 2022, two in 2023, and one in 2026—with only one award (the August 2026 NEI purchase order) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months.
