About the company
Sentek Instrument, LLC, a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American small disadvantaged business based in Blacksburg, Virginia, manufactures fiber optic sensors and distributed sensing systems for federal research and defense applications, operating as a prime contractor and grant recipient under total small business set-asides. The company is structured as a limited liability partnership and operates primarily under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC 6695 (Combination and Miscellaneous Instruments).
Sentek's recent federal work centers on advanced sensing technologies for energy research and propulsion applications. The company won a $50,752 purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center (awarded June 30, 2026) for fiber optic sensors designed for a novel microwave ignition system, delivering four NovaPT-E600 sensors and custom integrators capable of simultaneous temperature and pressure measurement at transient temperatures up to 1,500 degrees Celsius and 500 psi, with completion by September 8, 2026. The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $199,999.99 SBIR Phase I contract (September 4, 2025) under proposal F24D-T001-0005 for development of a robust multi-parameter sensor for rotating detonation engine applications, with work completing March 3, 2026. The Office of Naval Research issued a $12,250 purchase order (February 3, 2025) for fiber-inscribed reflector arrays in optical fiber for radiation measurements.
The Department of Energy Office of Science dominates Sentek's customer base on the grant side. The company is recipient on three DOE Office of Science Project Grants (CFDA 81.049) totaling approximately $405,499 in recent awards: a $205,499 grant (February 18, 2025) for development of an active sensing cable and interrogation system for subsurface magnetic field imaging; a $200,000 grant (February 12, 2024) for distributed magnetic field and temperature monitoring systems for linear superconducting radio frequency cavities; and a prior $200,000 grant (July 10, 2023) for distributed fiber optic electromagnetic sensing in subsurface carbon storage site monitoring. Sentek also acts as a sub-recipient under a Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University grant award (January 9, 2025) for monitoring ceramic fuel fracture via fiber optic acoustic emission sensors.
Activity has accelerated sharply in 2025–2026, with four awards in 2025 and one in 2026 following single awards in 2023 and 2024. Eight total awards across six customer agencies represent an early-stage prime footprint concentrated in research and development funding rather than commercial production or operational support services. Sentek competes exclusively under small business set-asides (total small business on four visible awards; one non-set-aside ONR work) and holds no seats on government-wide vehicles or agency IDIQs visible in the source data.
