Spica Technology Corporation

Spica Technology Corporation, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Kihei, Hawaii, manufactures and delivers high-speed imaging systems and data acquisition hardware to federal agencies as a prime contractor (92% of recent awards), competing predominantly full-and-open without set-aside designation. The company is structured as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation; recent awards split between Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open purchases.

Spica specializes in Vision Research Phantom high-speed camera systems, fiber optic imaging equipment, digital recorders, and specialized data acquisition hardware for research and engineering applications. The vendor's footprint centers on a narrow capability portfolio: Phantom camera models (S980, T3610, and other series), SETI system recorders, and centrifuge fiber optic imaging systems. Representative prime work includes a $177,388 Phantom T3610 camera purchase order from NASA Shared Services Center under Total Small Business set-aside (awarded June 30, 2026), a $149,550 high-speed camera delivery to the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) under Total Small Business set-aside (awarded January 27, 2025), a $181,170 recorder system order from NASA Shared Services Center for SETI-035 and SETI-036 systems (awarded April 23, 2024), and a $113,338 centrifuge fiber optic camera system purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers' Centrifuge Research Complex in Vicksburg, Mississippi under Total Small Business set-aside (awarded August 16, 2022).

Customer concentration is pronounced: NASA Shared Services Center anchors the portfolio with five awards worth $547 thousand combined potential value (77% of award count), followed by NASA Kennedy Space Center ($270 thousand), AFRL ($150 thousand), and the Army Corps of Engineers ($113 thousand). These four federal entities account for 96% of combined potential value across the vendor's thirteen total awards. Activity is sparse and episodic — one to two awards per year in the recent snapshot (2020–2026) — with a combined portfolio value of $1.1 million across all prime and sub awards. One award (the October 2026 NASA Shared Services Center Phantom S980 order, $37,320) reaches completion within the next twenty-four months. Spica subcontracts minimally; the source carries one sub award, a December 2, 2024 task order under an enterprise IT infrastructure services contract, which does not align with the vendor's core imaging and hardware capability. The vendor operates as a specialized hardware reseller and integrator for federal research agencies, with NASA and Army Corps of Engineers as repeat customers.
