Evangeline, Inc.

Evangeline, Inc., a woman-owned small business manufacturer based in Katy, Texas, supplies mechanical hardware components and spare parts to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on 1,226 federal awards spanning purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, with no subcontract footprint. The company operates as a Subchapter S Corporation under primary NAICS 332510 (bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing) and related hardware manufacturing classifications, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with occasional Total Small Business set-aside designations on its indefinite delivery contract vehicles.

Evangeline's product portfolio centers on mechanical hardware components including butt hinges, helical springs (compression and extension), manual control handles and levers, handwheels, retaining bands and clips, brackets, mounting plates, access covers and doors, bolts, standoffs, and various hardware kits and assemblies. Representative recent awards include a $35,967 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in November 2025 for 1,140 access cover units; a $23,614.50 delivery order for manual control levers in March 2025 under a single-award indefinite delivery contract; and a $82,450 purchase order for access utility doors in August 2025. Work is performed at Evangeline's manufacturing facility in Katy, Texas, with deliveries to Defense Logistics Agency depots across the continental United States and overseas locations.

Customer concentration is monolithic. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 100% of awards and combined potential value across three subordinate buying organizations: DLA Troop Support Hardware (624 awards, $22.6 million), DLA Land and Maritime (403 awards, $14.7 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (158 awards, $1.5 million). The split between award count and dollar value tracks identically across these three customers, indicating consistent order sizing. Evangeline has zero presence outside the DLA enterprise.

Evangeline holds at least six single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each set aside for total small businesses with ceiling values between $250,000 and $350,000. Current active IDVs include contracts for retaining clips (awarded January 13, 2026, $350,000 ceiling), hinge butts (awarded February 9, 2026, $350,000 ceiling), access covers (awarded March 25, 2026, $350,000 ceiling), and manual control levers (awarded July 2, 2024, $250,000 ceiling). These vehicles enable DLA to issue automated delivery orders without individual competitive solicitations, with typical delivery windows of 15 to 128 days and estimated order frequency of four per year. The top three parent vehicles named in the source—IDCs SPE5EY16D0513, SPE7L121D0009, and SPE7L120D0029—carried 55, 36, and 25 task orders respectively at combined values under $100,000, suggesting highly fragmented small orders typical of Defense Logistics Agency spare-parts procurement.

Award velocity declined sharply over recent years. The company received 127 awards in 2022, 61 in 2023, 54 in 2024, 45 in 2025, and 14 through March 2026. Combined potential value across all 1,226 awards is $38.9 million, with only $3.3 million obligated (9%), reflecting the unexercised portion of indefinite delivery contracts. Only two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $822), indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term but suggesting substantial backlog of open ceilings across the IDV portfolio.

Evangeline registered in the System for Award Management in December 2004 and has operated as an established DLA supplier for over two decades, with award history dating to October 2004. The company's business model is exclusively transactional: small purchase orders and delivery orders for individual hardware line items, frequently under $5,000, routed through standing indefinite delivery contracts. No teaming relationships, grant work, or subcontract activity appears in the source. The vendor's federal footprint is entirely hardware supply to defense logistics operations with no civilian agency exposure and no prime work on government-wide acquisition contracts or agency-wide IDIQs outside the DLA ecosystem.
