Provantage LLC

Provantage LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in North Canton, Ohio, procures and resells information technology equipment, software licenses, and specialized instrumentation to federal agencies as a prime contractor (96% of awards), competing predominantly under total small business and partial small business set-asides across a highly fragmented purchase-order footprint spanning 207 distinct customer agencies.

Provantage operates as an independent dealer of computer hardware, servers, storage devices, networking equipment, and software, with recent representative prime work including a $20,999 firm fixed-price purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center (April 2026, total small business set-aside) for a Fluke FLK-II915 industrial acoustic imager to detect air leaks in the Transonic Dynamics Tunnel at NASA Langley Research Center; a $41,400 total small business set-aside purchase order from the Defense Health Agency (February 2023) for wall-mount computer workstations with scanner brackets supporting the MHS Genesis electronic health record system; and a $22,455.85 partial small business set-aside purchase order from the Department of the Navy for RAID NAS hard drives and rackstation equipment (May 2023). The vendor also supplies software licenses, network converters, switches, routers, and peripheral equipment on open-market purchase orders across the military departments, civilian agencies including the Drug Enforcement Administration, Smithsonian Institution, and Office of the Inspector General, and federal research centers including NASA and the National Archives and Records Administration.

Customer concentration is diffuse across the federal enterprise. The Department of the Navy commands 27% of combined potential value and approximately 25% of award count through its Naval Sea Systems Command (89 awards, $859 thousand), Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center (33 awards, $312 thousand), Information Warfare Systems Command (33 awards, $232 thousand), and Office of Naval Research (32 awards, $265 thousand). The Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation placed 36 awards worth $290 thousand. Activity has remained episodic at roughly 10–16 awards per year over the past five years, with 907 total awards dating to 1992 and combined potential value of $7.3 million against obligated dollars of $8.7 million. Award portfolio is concentrated in five NAICS categories spanning computer and software retail (213 awards), wholesale computer equipment and software (122 awards), electronic computer manufacturing (77 awards), electronic business-to-business markets (40 awards), and electronic shopping (34 awards); PSC distribution tracks similarly across IT components, support equipment, software, supplies, and storage devices.

Provantage maintains minimal presence on government-wide vehicles — the Multiple Award Schedule carries eight task orders ($126 thousand) — and instead operates as a transactional equipment supplier on open purchase orders and spot buys. Subcontract work (4% of portfolio) flows through primes including Valkyrie Enterprises, Seacorp LLC, J.F. Taylor Inc., Lockheed Martin Corporation, and others, where Provantage supplies hardware components and IT equipment under systems integration and engineering contracts with the Air Force, Navy, and defense research centers. Recent sub awards include materials procurement for the Protective Aircraft Shelter Interior Intrusion Detection System (PAS-IIDS) and Weapon Storage and Security System (WS3) through Valkyrie; Cisco and Netgear networking equipment through Seacorp under Navy engineering and communications programs; and solid-state drives and server processors through Lockheed Martin and Kratos S2 supporting satellite, analytics, and SBIR Phase III efforts.
