About the company
Smaract Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit organization based in Berkeley, California, manufactures and sells precision nanopositioning systems, piezo-positioning stages, laser interferometers, and optical measurement equipment to federal research agencies primarily as a direct prime contractor on small-value purchase orders. The company operates almost exclusively in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations across its prime footprint, with the exception of one Total Small Business set-aside award; Smaract competes on the merits of specialized scientific instrumentation rather than as a designated small business.
Smaract's customer base concentrates heavily on civilian research. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) accounts for 100% of combined potential value coverage, with seven awards totaling $638 thousand and representing the company's core federal customer. The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (part of NIH) has placed two awards totaling $40 thousand for piezo-positioning and slip-stick microscopy stages to support single-molecule biophysics research. NASA's Shared Services Center, the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Center, and the Defense Logistics Agency each hold one award, though DLA's award carries no disclosed dollar value. Representative recent work includes a $312,098 NIST purchase order (September 2026) for a suite of SmarAct nanopositioners with performance in Germany, a $140,970 NIST order (June 2024) for dynamic extreme ultraviolet metrology and piezohexapod systems, and a $28,690 NIST award (September 2026) under Total Small Business set-aside for three high-precision rotation stages with sub-0.00005-degree angular resolution and sub-0.00001-degree position resolution to upgrade a cold neutron imaging instrument.
Activity over the past five years has grown modestly — one award in 2019 and 2023 to three in 2026 — with twelve total awards across the available history. Three awards (combined potential value $406 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Smaract subcontracts minimally in the federal space; a November 2024 sub-award under ManTech MGS on MIT Lincoln Laboratory optical equipment represents the sole documented subcontract engagement. The company's NAICS footprint concentrates on Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (ten awards) and related instrument and component supply, with primary PSC coding under Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Combined dollars obligated ($860 thousand) exceed combined potential value ($701 thousand) by 23 percent, indicating actual invoiced work has exceeded initial ceiling estimates on some orders.
