About Paulsson, Inc.
Paulsson, Inc., a small-business manufacturer of fiber optic sensing equipment based in Van Nuys, California, operates as a prime recipient of federal research grants and contracts focused on geohazard monitoring, pipeline safety, and nuclear waste storage sensor systems. The vendor competes under the total small business set-aside, with 94% of recent awards held as prime positions and a single sub-award role.
Paulsson's capability portfolio centers on fiber optic sensor development and real-time data acquisition systems for subsurface imaging, geophysical monitoring, and critical infrastructure assessment. The Department of Energy Office of Science dominates the customer base, accounting for 11 of 18 total awards across multiple research programs. Representative work includes a $991,124 SBIR Phase II contract from the Department of Transportation (awarded September 8, 2021, with completion scheduled June 6, 2025) for geohazard identification and quantification supporting pipeline risk models, a $206,500 Department of Energy Office of Science project grant awarded July 8, 2025 for development of an all-optical multi-sensor system to monitor nuclear waste storage containers and sites, and a Department of Energy project grant awarded June 27, 2022 for development of an ultra-sensitive surface-based three-component accelerometer for passive seismic monitoring. All work is performed at Paulsson's Lake Balboa, California facility.
The Department of Energy Office of Science and its component offices (Office of Fossil Energy) account for all but two of Paulsson's recent awards. The Department of Transportation Immediate Office of the Secretary Transportation holds the largest combined potential value at $1.1 million across two awards. Paulsson's combined potential value across all 18 awards is $1.1 million, though combined dollars obligated total $35.3 million, indicating substantial prior execution on lower-ceiling-value research grants. One award reaches ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. Paulsson subcontracts to Battelle Memorial Institute on CO2 movement acoustic emissions research under a Department of Energy sub-grant. Award activity has remained modest and relatively flat — averaging two to three awards annually over the past five years — with the most recent award dated July 8, 2025.
