Cunico Corporation

Cunico Corporation is a small business manufacturer of plumbing fittings and valves based in Long Beach, California, specializing in the production of pipe fittings and valve components critical for naval vessel construction, maintenance, and repair. The company has maintained federal contractor status since its registration in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) in January 2002 and serves as a prime contractor and subcontractor to the U.S. Navy and other defense agencies. Cunico manufactures components from various materials including steel, bronze, copper-nickel alloys, and other specialized materials to meet demanding naval specifications and support fleet readiness and naval operations.

Cunico Corporation's federal contract portfolio demonstrates substantial engagement across multiple naval and defense agencies, with prime contract awards totaling over $500,000 from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and the Department of Defense Aviation branch. The company supplies an extensive range of specialized pipe fittings and valve components, including elbows, tees, flanges, plug valves, globe valves, blind flanges, and valve plugs, with recent major awards including a $72,233.91 purchase order from DLA for valve plugs (August 2025), a $14,310 contract from NAVSEA for plug valves (June 2025), and a $151,785 contract from NAVSUP for globe valves (October 2022). Approximately half of Cunico's federal awards have utilized total small business set-aside designations, reflecting the company's qualification as a small business concern. Beyond direct prime contracts, Cunico maintains an extensive subcontracting relationship with major defense contractors, particularly Electric Boat Corporation and Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, supplying specialized fittings including nickel-copper alloy elbows, bronze plugs valves, and stainless steel components for submarine and surface ship construction and maintenance programs, with recent subcontract awards dating through January 2025. The company also holds a $3.9 million Other Transaction Agreement with the Army Research Development and Engineering Command for large diameter fitting prototype development, further demonstrating its technical capability and role within the broader defense industrial base.
