SUNBURST SENSORS, LLC

SUNBURST SENSORS, LLC specializes in the manufacturing, repair, and calibration of precision environmental sensing systems, with deep expertise in analytical laboratory instruments for oceanographic and industrial monitoring. The company designs and maintains high-accuracy sensors for pH, CO₂, and other biogeochemical parameters, integrating them into autonomous buoy systems and field-deployable platforms. Their technical capabilities include sensor refurbishment, biofouling mitigation packaging, pump and plumbing system integration, and field servicing of deployed instrumentation under harsh marine conditions. SUNBURST SENSORS demonstrates a strong command of SAMI platform technologies and delivers end-to-end solutions—from sensor fabrication to calibration and long-term maintenance—ensuring data integrity for critical climate and water quality research. The contractor maintains consistent relationships with the Department of Commerce and the Environmental Protection Agency, delivering mission-critical instrumentation for ocean acidification monitoring and atmospheric CO₂ measurement programs. For the Department of the Interior, they provide specialized sensors for freshwater and marine pCO₂ studies. Their work supports long-term environmental observation networks, often involving ruggedized, low-power systems deployed in remote aquatic environments. SUNBURST SENSORS operates primarily within NAICS 334516 (analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing), 334513 (industrial process control instrumentation), and 811210 (precision equipment repair), focusing on the environmental monitoring and oceanographic instrumentation sector. They serve as a niche provider of field-deployable, research-grade sensors tailored for federal science missions, distinguishing themselves through hands-on expertise in sensor longevity and in-situ calibration protocols. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Missoula, Montana, SUNBURST SENSORS leverages its regional engineering talent to support federal environmental science initiatives. While currently holding no formal government certifications, the company’s technical reputation and proven performance in high-stakes marine sensing applications position it as a trusted partner for agencies requiring reliable, field-tested instrumentation.
