Baltimore Hydraulics, Inc.

Baltimore Hydraulics, Inc., a veteran-owned small business headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, provides hydraulic component repair, overhaul, and maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, operating almost exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. The firm specializes in inspection, refurbishment, and replacement of hydraulic cylinders, pumps, accumulators, winches, and related equipment for maritime and water-resources infrastructure applications.

The company's customer base is dominated by the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard, which accounts for 212 of 320 total awards (76% by count) and $9.1 million of the $22.4 million combined potential value across the portfolio. The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command anchors the second-largest dollar concentration with a single $5 million Indefinite Delivery Vehicle for hydraulic components and accessories in support of aircraft and weapons systems. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers contributes a material secondary customer base—nine awards for $2.1 million—centered on dam and lock hydraulic system rehabilitation at facilities including Cherry Creek Dam (Colorado), Ball Mountain Lake (Vermont), and Olmsted Lock and Dam (Illinois). The top five customer agencies account for 84% of combined potential value, with Coast Guard work anchoring the portfolio. Within Coast Guard work, Baltimore Hydraulics holds two significant indefinite delivery vehicles: a $1.99 million single-award contract for hydraulic winch overhaul services and a $5 million blanket purchase agreement (referenced across multiple award summaries), yielding task-order pull that spans cylinder overhaul, pump and accumulator repair, and winch drum refurbishment for surface force logistics.

Representative recent awards illustrate the work scope. A $903.8 thousand definitive contract from the Department of Defense Louisville (ENDIST Louisville) for multi-level hydraulic repair at Patoka, Indiana (awarded October 2025, completion August 2026) represents full-scope facility-level work. A $419.9 thousand total small business set-aside from the Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District (May 2026) for Cherry Creek Gate stem rehabilitation in Aurora, Colorado involves cylinder rod cleaning, mineral buildup removal, re-chroming, and comprehensive inspection. A $401.5 thousand total small business set-aside from the Army Corps of Engineers Chicago District (September 2024) covers supply and installation of a portable hydraulic power unit and four system setups at Lockport Lock, Illinois. Smaller single-item purchase orders—such as a $85.4 thousand order from the Coast Guard for hydraulic accumulator inspection and repair (May 2026) and a $57 thousand order for overhaul of six hydraulic cylinder assemblies (July 2026)—dominate the award count and reflect the firm's position as a maintenance and repair vendor on standing Coast Guard procurement schedules.

The portfolio shows flat activity trajectory over the past five years (eleven awards in 2022 and 2023, six in 2024, nine in 2025, and five in the first seven months of 2026). Two awards totaling $477 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a modest recompete window. The source does not name any subcontractors to which Baltimore Hydraulics reports; the firm operates as a pure prime across its footprint. Top NAICS classifications are Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (117 awards), Ship Building and Repairing (67 awards), and Fluid Power Cylinder and Actuator Manufacturing (32 awards). Top PSC codes center on ship and marine equipment maintenance and repair (99 awards) and miscellaneous power transmission equipment (48 awards), confirming the maritime and water-infrastructure specialization. Combined dollars obligated stand at $15.5 million against $22.4 million combined potential value, indicating 69% billing completion across the portfolio.
