# OSC Backs LeoLabs Space Radar Expansion

The Office of Strategic Capital has conditionally committed up to **$150 million** to LeoLabs to expand its space-domain-awareness radar network and U.S. radar manufacturing capacity. Private investors are expected to provide an equal match, creating a potential $300 million capital package. The financing is contingent on matching funds and completion of due diligence and financial, legal, and technical requirements; it is not a contract award or open solicitation. Manufacturing capacity is expected by 2028, with dozens of additional radars targeted by 2030.

- The planned expansion may create supply-chain and subcontracting opportunities related to radar manufacturing, deployment, and network operations.
- Companies with relevant radar, manufacturing, and deployment capabilities can assess potential teaming or supplier roles with LeoLabs; the signals do not identify an open bid opportunity.
- Procurement teams should distinguish this conditional financing from a government purchase: the commitment remains subject to conditions, and no solicitation or contract number is provided.
