Gowanda RCD LLC

Gowanda RCD LLC, a manufacturer of electronic components headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire, supplies resistors and related passive electronic components to the Department of the Navy as a subcontractor on defense prime contracts, with all seven tracked federal awards routed through sub roles rather than prime contracting.

Gowanda RCD is a limited liability company subsidiary of Gowanda Holdings, LLC (operating under the Gowanda Electronics Corp. and Gowanda Components Group brand). The vendor manufactures capacitors, resistors, coils, transformers, and related inductors—materials and components that feed into navigation systems, ship-building platforms, and electrical systems integration. Business types in the source include manufacturer of goods and for-profit organization; no SBA set-aside designations or small-business certifications are recorded in the source data.

Gowanda RCD's federal customer base is narrow and concentrated. Two Navy commands account for 100% of tracked awards: the Naval Supply Systems Command placed four awards and the Naval Sea Systems Command placed three, totaling $814 thousand in combined dollar obligations across the entire tracked portfolio. The Naval Supply Systems Command awards flow primarily through Indefinite Delivery Contract N0038325DNE01, which generated four task orders.

All seven awards are subcontract positions. Raytheon Company is the named prime on four sub awards issued between March 2025 and March 2026—three for non-recurring-demand CarbonComp resistors and one for metal film resistors under MK-99 performance-based logistics orders. Lockheed Martin Corporation and Lockheed Martin Sippican, Inc. are the primes on three earlier sub awards from 2022 and 2023 covering warhead upgrade kit resistors and MK48 MOD 7 guidance-and-control section resistor components.

Activity shows recent acceleration. The vendor logged two awards in 2022, one in 2023, one in 2025, and three in 2026 (the most recent issued March 31, 2026). The dollar values are modest—no individual award in the source exceeds the $814 thousand combined total—and the work is specialized: resistor manufacturing and component supply to defense primes executing naval weapons systems, ship propulsion, and guidance work. No prime contract vehicles, GWACs, IDIQs, or agency-wide BPAs appear in the source; Gowanda RCD operates as a deep subcontractor embedded in Raytheon and Lockheed Martin supply chains rather than as an independent federal contractor pursuing its own contracts or task orders.
