Reach Power, Inc.

Reach Power, Inc. (doing business as Reach Labs) is a for-profit small business based in Redwood City, California that develops wireless power transfer and energy distribution technologies for the Department of Defense and DARPA as a prime contractor under full-and-open and small business set-aside competition. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime; it has not sub-awarded in the source data, and all eight recent awards come from defense and defense-adjacent federal agencies.

Reach Labs specializes in configurable wireless power receiver and transmitter systems, microgrid augmentation, kilowatt energy relay architectures, and power-beaming technologies designed for unmanned aircraft systems, electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles, ground-based robotics, and space-based platforms. The vendor's portfolio spans research and development across SBIR Phase I exploration, advanced development contracts, and commercial solutions demonstrations. Representative work includes a $6.17 million firm fixed-price DARPA contract (awarded December 1, 2023, completion July 31, 2026) for configurable energy receiver and transmitter systems with microgrid augmentation and kilowatt energy relay; a $310 thousand DARPA Embedded Entrepreneur Initiative commercial solutions opening award (May 21, 2025, completion May 20, 2026); a $249,978.62 Army SBIR Phase I award under XTechSearch 9 (April 13, 2026, completion October 14, 2026); and three Air Force Research Laboratory SBIR Phase I awards (November and early 2022 for approximately $74.7 thousand each) addressing wireless power transfer for unmanned systems, disaster relief, and space environments.

Customer concentration is heavily defense-skewed. DARPA anchors the portfolio by dollar value, with two awards totaling $6.5 million combined potential value, followed by DOD Washington Headquarters Service with one $4.6 million award. The Air Force (both Research Laboratory and broader materiel command) accounts for three awards at $224 thousand combined; the Army holds one award at $250 thousand. All five customer agencies are defense or defense-research entities. The vendor competed under total small business set-asides in five SBIR awards but competed full-and-open on the two largest DARPA development contracts.

Activity has been episodic rather than steady — two awards in 2021, three in 2022, one in 2023, a gap through 2024, then one award each in 2025 and 2026. Two awards (combined potential value $6.4 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, including the current DARPA configurable energy contract (July 31, 2026) and the DARPA EEI award (May 20, 2026), presenting recompete opportunity for the vendor and competitive exposure if those contracts roll over or convert to follow-on production contracts. Combined potential value across all awards is $13.5 million, with $11.1 million obligated to date (83% of ceiling).
