C.l. Thompson Co., Inc.

C.I. Cleansvendornametrait.phpthompson Co., Inc., a for-profit manufacturing firm based in Germantown, Wisconsin, supplies pneumatic valves and hydraulic components to the Department of Defense as a subcontractor (80% of recent awards) and occasionally as a prime vendor under full-and-open competition. The vendor operates as a small manufacturer under NAICS 332912 (Fluid Power Valve and Hose Fitting Manufacturing) and NAICS 336214 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing), with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

The vendor's customer base is narrow and heavily defense-concentrated. All five tracked awards fund Army programs, split between the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support (4 awards) and the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (1 award). The sole prime award is a January 2026 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA for $51,513 covering 83 units of pneumatic valves (NSN 4820013632150) for delivery to the DLA Distribution facility in Rockfield, Wisconsin, with completion by February 2, 2026. The remaining four awards place the vendor as a subcontractor to Oshkosh Defense LLC on Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicle (FHTV) requirements contracts and delivery orders, performing hydraulics supply work across three separate indefinite delivery vehicles (W912CH24D0008, W56HZV15D0031, and W56HZV18D0010). Activity is light and recent: three awards in 2024, one in 2025, and one in early 2026, with combined dollars obligated standing at $559 thousand. The vendor's narrow specialization in valve and hydraulic components for tactical vehicle platforms, coupled to a single prime relationship with Oshkosh Defense, positions it as a niche supplier in the FHTV supply chain with minimal direct-prime exposure outside commodity valve procurement.
