Secrecy Labs LLC

Secrecy Labs LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Bowie, Maryland, delivers post-quantum cryptography, quantum-resistant encryption, and secure communications solutions to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The firm operates exclusively as a prime on a focused research and development portfolio, with no subcontract footprint.

Secrecy Labs' capability set centers on cryptographic resilience for advanced defense systems. Representative work includes a $1.8 million Small Business Technology Transfer Phase II purchase order from the Air Force Research Laboratory for the Tactical Adaptive Layer for Operational Nexus (TALON) project, running through February 2027; a $1.2 million SBIR Phase II delivery for Next Generation Secure VPN Networks for Agile Combat Employment with post-quantum encryption, also from AFRL, completed December 2025; a $239,514 SBIR Phase I award from Naval Sea Systems Command supporting the Space-Based Infrared System High (SBIRS High) Major Defense Acquisition Program; and two smaller AFRL purchase orders for QUADRA (Quantum-Resistant Architecture for Distributed Resilient Applications) at $200,000 and COSMOS (Coordinated Overwatch System for Mesh and Satcom Operations) at $109,519, both completed or completing in 2026. All awards span firm fixed-price purchase orders or definitive contracts under total small business set-asides.

Customer concentration is highly concentrated: the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (AFRL) accounts for five of six awards and $3.4 million of the $3.7 million combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command holds the remaining award at $240,000. Work is categorized under NAICS research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences (five awards) and nanotechnology (one award), with PSC coding in National Defense R&D Services and applied research.

Activity is steady and recent: two awards in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026, with $3.6 million of the $3.7 million combined potential value obligated to date. One award ($1.8 million TALON STTR Phase II) carries an ultimate completion date inside the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure. The firm has no presence on government-wide vehicles, agency IDIQs, or BPAs; all work flows through direct purchase orders and definitive contracts issued by individual research laboratories.
