About the company
Umbra Lab, Inc., a Santa Barbara-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) microsatellite manufacturer and geospatial data services provider, operates as a prime contractor on federal space, defense, and earth observation programs, with recent activity concentrated in research and development and operational earth-observation tasking across defense and civilian agencies under full-and-open (non-set-aside) vehicles and selective small-business set-asides on SBIR Phase II awards.
Umbra Lab competes across two distinct postures. The company holds four significant IDVs anchoring most of its dollar value: the NOAA PROTECH 2.0 Satellite domain contract ($8 billion ceiling, awarded September 2026), the Missile Defense Agency SHIELD contract ($151 billion ceiling, awarded December 2025), NASA's Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition Program ($476 million ceiling, awarded October 2023), and the Office of Naval Research DRIFT Technical Area 1 OTA ($13 million, awarded April 2022). Against these vehicles and through full-and-open delivery orders, Umbra Lab pursues earth observation and space-based sensing work; simultaneously, the company competes for SBIR Phase II awards under total-small-business set-asides, with five Phase II definitive contracts from the Naval Sea Systems Command (three on SBIRS High infrared systems research totaling $5.7 million across 2025–2028), DARPA (Self-Tipping RF Collection, $1.25 million, December 2024), and the Air Force Research Laboratory (space-based moving target indication and optical intersatellite terminal integration work totaling $3.3 million across 2023–2028). Representative full-and-open delivery orders include a $502,875 NASA CSDA task order for disaster-response satellite data (November 2025) and a $947,700 CSDA order for synthetic aperture radar tasking data supporting Earth science (September 2025).
Customer concentration splits between defense research agencies and civilian earth-observation operations. The top five customers by potential value account for 100% of identified dollars: the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ($8 billion, dominated by the PROTECH 2.0 IDIQ), the Department of the Air Force ($950.1 million, anchored by an Advanced Battle Management System IDV), NASA Headquarters ($480.3 million, driven by the CSDA IDIQ), the Office of the Secretary of Defense ($30 million via the CRAZY TRAIN STRATFI OTA awarded September 2025), and the Office of Naval Research ($13 million on DRIFT). By award count, the Air Force Research Laboratory leads with six awards ($3.5 million potential value), NASA with five ($480.3 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command with four ($6 million). The concentration by dollars is dominated by IDV ceilings rather than obligated work — only $40.6 million has been obligated across the full portfolio, representing less than one percent of combined potential value.
Umbra Lab's recent trajectory shows growth from two awards in 2022 to twelve in 2025, with three awards recorded in 2026 so far. Six awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $9.5 million, representing near-term recompete exposure on SBIR Phase II efforts and a small NESDIS CSDA derivative order. The company's primary work categories center on physical and engineering sciences research and development (11 awards), defense R&D services applied research and experimental development (16 awards across combined PSC codes), and satellite-based data acquisition. On its subcontractor footprint, Umbra Lab performs SAR processing software integration and remote ground terminal containerization work for Vantor Services Inc. across multiple 2025 awards, and IT modernization support for Amentum Services, Inc.
