Inc.. A California Corporation Bermingham Controls

Inc. A California Corporation Bermingham Controls, doing business as Bermingham Controls Inc., manufactures and overhauls industrial control valves, particularly Leslie-model valve assemblies, for the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designations. Bermingham Controls is a for-profit California corporation headquartered in Cerritos, California, and operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards); it has received no federal grant awards and holds no participation on government-wide vehicles or indefinite-delivery contracts.

The vendor's federal footprint is narrow and highly specialized. Bermingham Controls' customer base is dominated by naval maritime maintenance — the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 79 awards worth $4.9 million in combined potential value, representing 81% of recent award volume. The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command contributes 54 awards worth $664 thousand, and the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard adds 24 awards worth $212 thousand. These three customers represent 157 of 217 total awards (coverage of 81% by count) and $5.776 million of the $6.2 million combined potential value. Secondary naval customers include the Naval Supply Systems Command (3 awards, $186 thousand) and the United States Pacific Fleet Forces (5 awards, $29 thousand). Concentration is extreme: Naval Sea Systems Command alone represents 79% of dollars.

Work is performed at two primary locations: Bremerton, Washington (Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility) for overhaul and repair services, and Artesia, California for OEM valve overhaul, testing, inspection, and refurbishment. Representative recent work includes a $226.9 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order awarded January 21, 2026 by Naval Sea Systems Command for overhaul and repair of Leslie Model PTLHNS-2 valves designated 1MS-V446A and 1MS-V446B for the CVN 73 aircraft carrier (ultimate completion March 6, 2026); a $285.6 thousand purchase order from June 3, 2025 for MS-valves and materials in support of the CVN aircraft carrier major program (completion September 10, 2025); and a $380.1 thousand purchase order from March 28, 2025 for overhaul and repair of four Leslie valve assemblies aboard USS John C. Stennis (CVN-70), a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier (completion January 31, 2026). All awards are sole-source full-and-open contracts with no small business set-aside, reflecting Bermingham Controls' status as the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive proprietary access to Leslie valve design drawings and specifications.

Activity has remained flat — averaging 2.6 awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026) — with the most recent award received January 21, 2026. The vendor's federal footprint spans 217 awards dating to 1986, with combined potential value of $6.2 million against combined obligated dollars of $7.2 million. Category concentration mirrors customer concentration: commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance (43 awards), ship building and repairing (38 awards), and industrial valve manufacturing (30 awards) dominate the NAICS profile; PSC codes for valve maintenance and non-nuclear ship repair rank similarly. Bermingham Controls holds no position on government-wide acquisition contracts or multiagency IDIQs and operates through direct purchase orders and limited indefinite-delivery contracts specific to Navy customers. The vendor holds no subcontract relationships and performs all work as a prime.
