Spectree Inc.

Spectree Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Seattle, Washington, develops aerosol-collection sensors and spectroscopic detection technologies for Department of Defense research programs and environmental health applications, operating exclusively as a prime contractor on early-stage R&D work.

Spectree's federal footprint is nascent but technically specialized. The vendor holds two Department of Army Research Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) contracts awarded within the past eighteen months: a $209,575 firm fixed-price purchase order (awarded January 5, 2026, completion July 5, 2026) for integrated aerosol collection and MOF-FET sensors designed to detect aerosolized chemical and biological threats, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside; and a $196,953 STTR Phase I definitive contract (awarded December 20, 2023, completed June 17, 2024) for spectree aerosol collectors for microsensors under the same set-aside category. The vendor also holds a federal grant as recipient from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences under the Department of Health and Human Services (awarded September 13, 2022, ultimate completion August 31, 2026) for development and validation of a multispectral sensor platform for chemical composition analysis of ultrafine aerosols in air-quality assessment, combining direct-on-substrate aerosol collection with excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy and machine-learning algorithms for particle-source identification and toxic-potential characterization.

RDECOM accounts for 100% of the vendor's contract awards by count and dollar value (two awards, $407 thousand combined potential value), though the obligated dollars across all three awards ($5.6 million) substantially exceed the combined ceiling values, indicating follow-on funding or modification activity. Spectree competes exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides and has not placed work on government-wide IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide BPAs. The vendor operates as a pure prime (100% of recent awards) with no recorded subcontract activity in the award data or Service Contract Inventory, and does not serve as a named subcontractor to other defense or civilian primes in the captured dataset.

One RDECOM contract reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (the January 2026 purchase order in July 2026), presenting a recompete opportunity. The technical scope clusters in early-stage sensor R&D for chemical and biological threat detection (DoD emphasis) and environmental aerosol characterization (civilian health emphasis), with both tracks anchored to materials science and spectroscopic analysis rather than systems integration or sustainment services.
