Xiomas Technologies LLC

Xiomas Technologies LLC, an Ann Arbor, Michigan–based limited liability partnership, develops thermal sensing and remote-observing instruments for NASA space missions and allied defense science programs as a prime contractor across a portfolio of small-business-eligible SBIR and research contracts. All nineteen awards in the source are prime (100%), with no subcontracting footprint. The vendor operates exclusively under full-and-open competition; no set-aside designations appear across its recent work, though two of its three most recent awards carried total small business eligibility.

Xiomas' work centers on thermal mapping, thermal sensing, and environmental remote-observing payloads for airborne and orbital platforms. Representative recent contracts include a $586,719 Phase III SBIR definitive contract from NASA's Shared Services Center awarded October 1, 2026, for Aeolus Thermal Limb Sounder development (completion December 31, 2026); a $5 million firm fixed-price definitive contract from NASA's Shared Services Center awarded September 30, 2022, for thermal mapping airborne simulator development for small satellite sensors (ultimate completion May 29, 2027); and a Phase II SBIR definitive contract for thermal mapping airborne simulator work also from NASA's Shared Services Center, awarded September 30, 2022.

Customer concentration is narrow and NASA-dominated. NASA accounts for 84% of awards by count (eleven awards, $8.463 million combined potential value), split between the Shared Services Center (six awards, $7.5 million) and Ames Research Center (five awards, $963 thousand). The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center anchors the second tier with two awards ($900 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture and Forest Service entities fill out the remaining portfolio with low-dollar research awards. Combined potential value stands at $9.4 million, but obligated dollars ($10.1 million) exceed the potential ceiling, indicating performance at or near contract completion on recent work. Activity is sparse and episodic — one to two awards per year between 2018 and 2022, then a gap until a single award in 2026. Two awards (combined potential value $5.6 million) complete within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS profile is predominantly research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences (fourteen of nineteen awards), with space R&D services the leading PSC category (eight awards).
