Evans Capacitor Company, LLC

Evans Capacitor Company Evans Capacitor Division manufactures capacitors and capacitor assemblies for defense platforms as a subcontractor (82% of recent awards) and occasional prime supplier, with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal footprint. Based in East Providence, Rhode Island, Evans Capacitor is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation competing in full-and-open procurements; the vendor's federal work centers on tantalum, electrolytic, and hybrid capacitor components for missile systems, radar platforms, and avionics.

Evans Capacitor's customer base skews heavily to Department of Defense accounts. The top five funding agencies account for 76% of recent awards, with the Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command placing eight awards, the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command placing six, and Naval Sea Systems Command placing five (combined potential value $384 thousand). The Navy accounts for a plurality of named awards but the Army drives volume through programs with higher award counts. The vendor serves ten distinct customer agencies in recent activity, concentrated in Army and Navy missile, fuze, and aircraft systems.

Evans Capacitor's subcontractor relationships anchor its federal footprint. The vendor supplies capacitors to Lockheed Martin on multiple Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3) missile production efforts and Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight / Pilot Night Vision Sensor (M-TADS/PNVS) programs; to L3 Technologies on MIDS JTRS terminal and SF1 maintenance tasks carrying electrolytic and hybrid capacitor specifications; to Northrop Grumman on Hard Target Void Sensing Fuze (HTVSF) FMU-167/B full-rate production and the BLU-138 fuze lot; to General Atomics on Project 7756 capacitor work; to Raytheon on Patriot spares procurement; and to Noblis MSD LLC on Navy engineering tasks. Recent prime activity consists of a $287,956 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for capacitor assembly with ultimate completion June 26, 2026, and placement under five Department of Army IDIQs and two Department of Navy IDIQs as a task-order supplier.

Activity surged in 2024 (nineteen awards) following a multi-year gap, with eight awards in 2025 and one award year to date in 2026. Combined dollars obligated ($4.8 million) significantly exceed combined potential value ($384 thousand), indicating heavy prior-year invoicing against older awards that have cycled through completion. The vendor's NAICS concentration reflects its core business: guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing anchors six awards, with aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, communications equipment, and ammunition manufacturing rounding out the portfolio. Evans Capacitor competes in full-and-open procurements with no small business set-aside posture.
