About the company
Gooch & Housego (Keene) LLC, doing business as Stingray Optics, manufactures custom infrared optical lenses, camera assemblies, and related optical instruments for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis, with occasional subcontract work supporting advanced weapons and navigation systems. The company is a foreign-owned for-profit optical systems manufacturer headquartered in Keene, New Hampshire, operating as a subsidiary of Gooch & Housego UK LIMITED, a UK-based partnership. Stingray Optics competes exclusively outside set-aside categories and derives approximately 89% of its recent awards from prime positions, with 11% routed through subcontracts to major defense primes.
Stingray Optics concentrates in optical instrument manufacturing under NAICS 334220 (Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing), with 46 of 72 recent awards falling into that category and 39 PSC 6630 (Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components and Accessories) awards anchoring the portfolio. Representative prime work includes a $431,500 order from Air Force Test Center for Stingray scan lenses (March 2022), a $271,200 order for Stingray scan lenses at Eglin Air Force Base (September 2022), a $217,450 Naval Air Warfare Center order for a custom F/A-18 105mm 0.4–1.7 lens assembly (March 2024), and a $193,100 Air Force Test Center order for midwave infrared relay lenses compliant with guided weapon evaluation facility specifications including 1.9–5.5 micrometer spectral range (June 2025). Capabilities encompass custom infrared optical design, finite element analysis, prototype production, and repair services for infrared camera systems and lens assemblies.
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center dominates both customer concentration and dollar value, accounting for 13 awards and $2.1 million in combined potential value (43% of the combined $4.9 million portfolio). The Department of the Army and Department of the Navy collectively represent 37 awards (51% of total prime and sub awards) across multiple Navy commands — including the Office of Naval Research (14 awards, $540 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (5 awards, $167 thousand), and Naval Air Warfare Center (3 awards, $264 thousand) — and Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (14 awards, $782 thousand). Customer diversification extends to 17 distinct agencies, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (3 awards, $139 thousand), suggesting broad Defense Technology and Science Base exposure.
Recent activity shows modest consistency with one or two prime awards per year from 2023 through 2025, with combined obligated dollars ($6.6 million) exceeding combined potential value ($4.9 million), indicating earlier performance shortfall corrections or revised estimates. In subcontractor roles, Stingray Optics delivers infrared and optical system research, development, and prototype work to Leidos (July 2025 and August 2024 NAVAIR advanced expendable infrared countermeasures and rapid technology development work), The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory (June 2025 and December 2023 technical support contracts for advanced combat navigation systems), General Dynamics Land Systems (April 2025 optionally manned fighting vehicle prototype development), and L3Harris Technologies (December 2025 M-code capability optical instrument manufacturing). The company's parent, Gooch & Housego UK LIMITED, carries additional optical component and systems expertise sourced from the UK operations but does not appear to hold independent federal awards in recent years.
