Derbyshire Marine Products, LLC

Derbyshire Marine Products, LLC, a small business manufacturer of high-pressure valves, fittings, and manifolds based in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, operates exclusively as a prime contractor supplying specialized maritime and defense valve components to federal agencies on a non-set-aside basis, with over 3,300 awards across nearly two decades of federal contracting.

Derbyshire manufactures globe valves, check valves, angle valves, ball valves, shut-off cartridges, needle valve cartridges, and related maritime hardware for shipboard systems and naval logistics operations. Representative work includes a $298,412.40 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for 111 Y-type valves awarded October 1, 2025; a $236,580.77 total small business set-aside for 47 globe valve units awarded February 10, 2026; and a $138,827.54 open-competition purchase order for 178 globe valve units awarded October 20, 2025. The company also supplies control valves, pressure relief valves, flow control valves, angle valves, and protective caps, with contract values historically ranging from several hundred dollars to over $300,000.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-source dependent. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 2,896 awards (87% of total award count) and $59.3 million (93% of combined potential value). The Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command follows at 255 awards with $3.2 million potential value, followed by DLA Troop Support Hardware (86 awards, $289 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (43 awards, $367 thousand), and DLA Aviation (36 awards, $564 thousand). The vendor's entire federal footprint is concentrated in defense maritime supply operations; no civilian agencies appear in the top five customer list.

Derbyshire holds at least five active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each with ceiling values of $250,000 to $350,000. The top parent vehicles are single-award IDIQs: Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7MX16D0113 (217 task orders, $1.9 million combined potential value), SPE7MX21D0051 (158 task orders, $1.8 million), SPM7MX11D0024 (58 task orders, $612 thousand), SPM7MX11D0045 (51 task orders, $1 million), and SPE7LX19D0069 (26 task orders, $801 thousand). The IDC structure allows recurring procurement with typically 3–12 estimated annual orders and guaranteed minimum quantities ranging from 2 to 40 units per order.

Activity has declined over five years. Awards per calendar year dropped from 361 in 2022 to 73 in 2026 year-to-date (the source represents a snapshot through mid-April). Thirty-six awards (combined potential value $1.1 million) are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure across the vendor's DLA Land and Maritime contract portfolio. The vendor obligated $36.9 million across $63.9 million in combined potential value (58% drawdown), indicating active execution against its contract backlog.

Derbyshire's NAICS profile reflects industrial valve manufacturing (1,863 awards), fluid power valve and hose fitting manufacturing (382 awards), and other metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing (227 awards). PSC codes center on nonpowered valves (2,762 awards) and hose, pipe, and fitting hardware (308 awards).

The vendor maintains a single subcontract relationship documented in the source: a September 2025 sub-award to Huntington Ingalls Inc. for CVN 80 engineering efforts and steel valves (CRES 316, globe instrument valves). No other named prime relationships appear in the source material.

Derbyshire competes across both set-aside (total small business, recurring in the portfolio) and full-and-open procurements, though recent awards show a strong concentration in total small business set-aside IDIQs and delivery orders from DLA Land and Maritime. The vendor does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts, multiple-award schedules, or civilian agency vehicles; its footprint is exclusively single-award maritime defense IDIQs issued by DLA and naval commands.
