Calmin Inc.

Calmin Inc., doing business as Matilija Pure Water Systems, supplies and maintains reverse osmosis water purification and water softener systems to federal correctional and military installations as a small-business prime contractor, with all work issued under Total Small Business set-asides or unrestricted competition. The Santa Barbara, California-based for-profit vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across a narrow customer base dominated by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons and the Department of the Air Force.

Calmin's capability portfolio centers on reverse osmosis system lease, installation, filter replacement, maintenance, and water softener canister exchange services. Representative work includes a $15,760.91 delivery order from the Federal Correctional Complex Lompoc (FCC Lompoc) in fiscal 2025 for reverse osmosis system rental and maintenance supporting 78 staff housing units, a $105,600.00 purchase order from Air Force Space Command (awarded November 2024, running through May 2029) for water softener maintenance and canister exchange services, and recurring annual lease and maintenance orders at FCC Lompoc ranging from $2,730 to $16,380 per delivery order. The vendor has held a continuous contracting relationship with FCC Lompoc since March 2022, initially under a single-award indefinite delivery contract (ceiling $49,926.37, expired September 2025) and now under a multiple-award IDC (ceiling $50,485.50, extending through January 2030) that enables flexible ordering for reverse osmosis and water treatment services.

Customer concentration is acute. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons FCC Lompoc dominates by award count with 12 awards valued at $195 thousand combined potential value, while the Department of the Air Force Space Command anchors dollar value with 5 awards totaling $222 thousand. The Department of the Navy accounts for 5 awards (no dollar value disclosed in the summary data), representing the only minor diversification beyond DOJ and USAF. All 22 awards in the source data are prime awards; Calmin does not operate as a subcontractor. The vendor's award activity is flat to slightly declining — three awards each in 2022, 2025, and 2026; one award in 2023; two in 2024 — with total combined potential value of $458 thousand and $413 thousand in obligated dollars (90% realization rate). Only one award faces recompete in the next twenty-four months ($12 thousand combined potential value). The vendor places task orders under two indefinite delivery contracts: the current FCC Lompoc multiple-award IDC (4 task orders, $47 thousand combined potential value) and a second IDC carrying 2 task orders valued at $12 thousand.

Calmin's work splits across water purification equipment (14 awards) and water purification and sewage treatment equipment rental categories (4 awards), with secondary focus on beverage-related procurement. The vendor's footprint reflects specialization in facilities support infrastructure for correctional and military installations rather than breadth across federal customer missions.
