About the company
Elve Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Davis, California, develops high-frequency imaging radar amplifiers and space-qualified power amplifiers for defense research and advanced manufacturing programs as a prime contractor under SBIR and small business set-asides with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Air Force Research Laboratory.
Elve operates exclusively as a prime contractor — all three recent awards (100% of its tracked federal footprint) are prime contracts, with no subcontract engagement. The company is structured as a for-profit corporate entity and qualifies for total small business set-aside contracting across its federal work. The vendor has no tracked presence on government-wide acquisition contracts or agency IDIQs; all work flows through direct definitive contracts from mission agencies.
Elve's customer base is concentrated among defense research agencies. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency anchors two awards valued at $3.5 million combined (64% of potential value), while the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory holds one award worth $1.8 million. Both agencies consistently compete Elve's work under total small business set-asides rather than full-and-open.
Capability work centers on radio-frequency and microwave power amplifiers for defense sensing and space applications. Representative recent awards include a $1.74 million DARPA SBIR Phase II contract (awarded January 28, 2026, completion January 27, 2027) to develop a high-frequency imaging radar amplifier; a $1.8 million Air Force Research Laboratory firm fixed-price contract (awarded December 2, 2024, completion June 1, 2026) for a high-efficiency, high-power-density space-qualified Ka-band amplifier; and a $1.73 million DARPA SBIR Phase II contract (awarded September 25, 2022, completed November 24, 2024) on layered additive multimaterial manufacturing capabilities. All work is performed in Davis, California.
Activity volume is sparse — one award per year in 2022, 2024, and 2026 — with one award ($1.7 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
