Clarus Fluid Intelligence, LLC

Clarus Fluid Intelligence, LLC supplies fluid system components, filtration products, hydraulic and lube oil remediation services, and fluid handling equipment to the Department of Defense and Coast Guard primarily as a prime contractor (93% of awards), competing full-and-open with no set-aside category designation across its footprint. Based in Bellingham, Washington, Clarus Fluid Intelligence is a for-profit limited liability company and child subsidiary of Reladyne LLC, a parent holding company in the fluid management and remediation space. The vendor has maintained federal registration since 2006 and operates under primary NAICS categories centered on commercial machinery manufacturing (104 awards) and ship building and repair support (89 awards), with PSC coding reflecting specialization in marine equipment maintenance and hose, pipe, and fitting supply.

Clarus Fluid Intelligence's customer concentration is heavily naval. The top five funding agencies account for 70% of awards by count and 71% by potential value, anchored by Naval Sea Systems Command (70 awards, $17.5 million combined potential value) and US Fleet Forces Command Atlantic (15 awards, $4.4 million). The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime drives volume with 108 awards but carries lower dollar magnitude ($1.7 million combined), reflecting a high-frequency purchase-order pattern for individual fluid filtration and component items—filter elements, ball valves, solenoid assemblies, hose assemblies, and strainers in the $100–$10,000 range. This split between DLA's micro-transactional volume and NAVSEA's larger-value repair and fluid remediation work shapes the vendor's customer profile. Secondary customers include DLA Aviation (34 awards, $180 thousand), the Department of the Army (33 awards, $230 thousand), US Pacific Fleet Forces (13 awards, $1.1 million), and the Coast Guard (9 awards, $867 thousand).

Clarus Fluid Intelligence's recent activity shows marked decline. Awards fell from 35 in 2023 to 32 in 2024, then to 13 in 2025 and 4 in the first three months of 2026, signaling a contraction in prime transactional volume. The combined potential value across all 372 awards in source is $35.8 million, with 99% obligated, indicating strong invoicing on prior awards but reduced pipeline momentum in 2025 and 2026. The vendor operates predominantly through a Multiple Award Schedule vehicle (103 task orders, $1.5 million combined potential value), which accounts for the majority of its transactional reach, supplemented by direct DLA and Navy purchase orders issued outside major IDIQs.

Representative recent prime work includes a $55,730 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Coast Guard for SHELL GADINIA 40W lubricating fluid (awarded November 2024), a $3.5 million definitive contract from US Fleet Forces Command for USS INDIANAPOLIS (LCS 17) ship repair services (awarded January 2024), a $76,600 firm-fixed-price purchase order from Naval Air Warfare Center for a solvent parts washer in support of the V-22 Osprey program (awarded January 2023), a $219,577 equipment repair services contract from US Pacific Fleet Forces for Naval Air Station Whidbey Island fluid system maintenance and component supply (awarded February 2023), and a $426,004 definitive contract from US Fleet Forces Command for USS INDIANAPOLIS fluid system support performed in Djibouti (awarded June 2023). Smaller routine transactions dominate the portfolio—purchases of filter elements ($2,000–$8,000), ball valves ($363–$3,780), solenoid assemblies ($538–$1,076), and hose assemblies ($100–$1,443) issued by DLA Land and Maritime throughout the year.

As a subcontractor, Clarus Fluid Intelligence executes 26 awards (7% of total) primarily for ship repair and modernization primes. BAE Systems Jacksonville Ship Repair and BAE Systems Maritime Solutions Norfolk drive the heaviest engagement, with sub work on USS RAMAGE (DDG 61), USS THE SULLIVANS (DDG 68), USS LABOON (DDG 58), and LPD 29 repairs—predominantly fluid system flushing, steering gear cleaning, and lube oil system preparation work. Huntington Ingalls Inc. and Huntington Ingalls Incorporated hold secondary sub relationships, anchoring Clarus on submarine maintenance (USS BOISE (SSN 764), USS COLUMBUS (SSN 762)) and destroyer refurbishment (DDG 1000) efforts. East Coast Repair & Fabrication brings Clarus in for on-site vendor fluid management and gear flushing on vessels docked at Naval Station Mayport (USS FARRAGUT, USS THOMAS HUDNER). Sub award activity has grown modestly relative to prime contraction, reflecting Clarus's value position in the repair supply chain as naval shipyards and large primes increasingly subcontract fluid system specialists for overhaul and modernization execution.
