Rumble Development Corporation

Rumble Development Corporation, a small business based in Acton, Massachusetts, develops optical and imaging technologies for the Department of Defense, operating exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor has received three federal awards totaling $2.1 million across the past three years, all in research and development for military applications.

Rumble's footprint reflects a research-focused posture anchored to SBIR Phase I and Phase II contracts. The Department of the Army funds the majority of the vendor's work by dollar value: a $1.63 million SBIR Phase II definitive contract awarded in November 2023 for Topic A214-009, supporting Multi-Domain Operations soldier capabilities with an ultimate completion date of November 21, 2025; and a $248,895 SBIR Phase I definitive contract awarded in September 2022 for evaluation and optimization of a large-format color low-light-level camera based on a SiOnyx image sensor, completed in June 2023. The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command placed a $175,000 purchase order in November 2025 for support to PEO SOF WARRIOR's Visual Augmentation Systems program, scheduled for completion in June 2026. All three awards sit in the physical, engineering, and life sciences research and development NAICS category; two carry the National Defense R&D Services PSC.

Customer concentration is dispersed across three distinct Army and Air Force components, with no single agency dominating the portfolio. The Army SBIR Phase II contract represents 78% of combined potential value. All $2.1 million in potential value has been obligated, and two of the three awards have reached or are approaching completion dates within the next twelve months, placing significant recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor operates no subcontractors in the source data and holds no seat on government-wide vehicles or agency-wide IDIQs.
