Presidio Components, Inc.

Presidio Components, Inc. manufactures fixed ceramic capacitors and related passive electronic components for defense, aerospace, and space programs, operating as a Subchapter S corporation headquartered in San Diego, California with a footprint split between prime awards (29% of recent work) and subcontractor deliveries to major defense primes (71%). The company holds no federal set-aside designations and competes full-and-open across its customer base.

Presidio's capability portfolio centers on high-quality ceramic capacitors engineered for RF, microwave, high-temperature, and custom military and aerospace applications. Representative prime work includes a $7,899 purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for fixed ceramic capacitors delivered to the Department of the Navy in November 2025, a $20,173 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Naval Air Warfare Center for high-voltage capacitors supporting aircraft and weapons programs in June 2023, and a $32,500 purchase order from the Office of Naval Research completed in December 2021. On the subcontractor side, Presidio supplies ceramic chip capacitors in various voltage and capacitance specifications to Lockheed Martin on PAC-3 missile production, NGI Aurora development, GPS III follow-on space vehicles, and THAAD interceptor programs; to Raytheon on F-15EX Eagle Vision radars, NGJ-MB electronic warfare systems, AMRAAM missile production, and CIWS systems; and to Southwest Research Institute on the Joint EUV Coronal Diagnostic Investigation (JEDI) and Space Weather Coronagraph instrument development efforts.

Customer concentration by award count reflects defense-heavy exposure. The DOD Missile Defense Agency, Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, Department of the Army, and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center account for 60% of awards; however, the top customers by dollar value diverge significantly, with NASA Langley Research Center anchoring $5.1 million across three awards (99% of combined potential value), followed by smaller awards to NASA's Shared Services Center, DLA Land and Maritime, the Office of Naval Research, and the Naval Air Warfare Center. Presidio sits on several vehicle structures: the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Indefinite Delivery Contract 80MSFC20D0004 carries ten task orders, followed by Air Force IDCs FA863421D2707 (three task orders) and FA830719D0001 (two task orders), and Navy contracts N0014004D0011 and N0038319GUX01 (two task orders each).

Activity has grown substantially year over year, from six awards in 2022 to thirty-six in 2024, though 2025 slowed to twenty-five awards and the source captures only two in 2026. Combined potential value across all 112 awards stands at $5.4 million, though obligated dollars total $8.8 million, suggesting execution at rates above initial estimated values. Top NAICS categories span research and development in physical and engineering sciences (32 awards), guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing (21 awards), capacitor and resistor manufacturing (19 awards), and related sensor and navigation systems (11 awards); the PSC concentration runs heavily toward capacitors (26 awards).

Presidio's subcontractor base is dominated by Lockheed Martin—which receives the vast majority of sub awards across missile systems, space vehicles, and radar programs—and Raytheon, which drives electronic warfare and air defense system work. Southwest Research Institute and The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory receive steady sub-award flow on NASA space science instrument development. Recent growth and the concentration of obligated dollars above potential values suggest execution momentum, though the 2025-to-2026 slowdown may signal either program phase transitions or capacity constraints in ceramic component manufacturing.
