Dibert Valve And Fitting Company, Incorporated

Dibert Valve And Fitting Company, Incorporated, doing business as Dibert Valve & Fitting Co, supplies industrial valves, fittings, connectors, adapters, panels, and related fluid handling components to the Department of the Navy as a small business prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts, with performance in Richmond and Henrico, Virginia and at customer sites including Portsmouth, Virginia and naval shipyards.

Dibert Valve is a for-profit corporation and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Richmond, Virginia. The company operates under NAICS 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing) and 332919 (Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), with product service code concentration in Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubing, and Railing Fittings (PSC code 47) and Valves, Nonpowered (PSC code 48). Dibert Valve competes predominantly in full-and-open purchase orders, with secondary exposure to total small business set-aside vehicles. Since 2002, the company has maintained an active System for Award Management registration and built a footprint anchored to Navy supply and engineering offices.

The company's customer concentration is heavily Navy-centric and narrowly focused by dollar value. The top five customer entities account for 98 percent of recent awards. Naval Supply Systems Command leads by award count with 1,362 recent purchase orders totaling $10.5 million combined potential value; Naval Sea Systems Command ranks second by count with 186 awards but dominates by dollar value at $54.9 million combined potential value, driven by specialized nuclear engineering panels, adapters, boundary panels, and weld panels for reactor installations and submarine applications. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime places 91 awards valued at $3 million. The Office of Naval Research and the National Institute of Standards and Technology account for smaller volumes at $253 thousand and $178 thousand respectively. The dollar-versus-count divergence reflects Dibert Valve's role as a high-volume supplier of discrete commodity items to NAVSUP (connectors, valves, elbows, tees, caps, fittings averaging under $3,000 per order) and a specialized provider of engineered assemblies and panels to NAVSEA (averaging $20,000 to $135,000 per order for nuclear-grade and Swagelok-certified components).

Dibert Valve holds two active indefinite-delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, both awarded in March 2026. The first is a single-award, total small business set-aside IDC with a $350,000 ceiling through March 17, 2027, for the supply of ball valves (NSN 4820013140217) with an initial requirement of 105 units, a guaranteed minimum of 15 units annually, and an estimated three orders per year. The second is a single-award, total small business set-aside IDC with a $350,000 ceiling through March 12, 2027, for straight pipe adapters (NSN 4730014906223) with an initial requirement of 81 units, a 129-day delivery window, and a guaranteed annual minimum of 12 units. Both contracts permit nationwide and OCONUS delivery to DLA depots via consolidation and containerization. Prior to these awards, the source cites a $250,000 DLA IDC for approximately 85,100 globe valves, referenced across multiple purchase order summaries as baseline context for the company's sustained supply relationship.

Activity has tracked near-flat across the past five years — 81 awards in 2022 rising to a peak of 136 in 2024, then declining to 104 in 2025 and 48 in the first quarter of 2026. The recompete exposure over the next twenty-four months is modest: 26 awards with ultimate completion dates in that window carry combined potential value of only $313 thousand. The company's total footprint of 1,709 recent awards, generating $69.2 million in combined potential value, represents a high-transaction-volume, low-dollar-per-transaction business model characteristic of commodity valve and fitting distribution. Obligated dollars across all awards total $18.5 million, or 27 percent of potential value, indicating selective order fulfillment against published ceilings.

In its subcontractor role, Dibert Valve supplies specialized components under three primes: Huntington Ingalls Inc. for CVN 80 carrier construction (cryogenic and stainless-steel tubing components); The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory for WARCOM materials expertise; and Battelle Memorial Institute for Army canister vapor samples. These engagements account for seven sub-awards spanning 2024 through 2025 and represent supplemental exposure outside the dominant Navy supply channel.

Dibert Valve's footprint concentrates almost exclusively on Navy logistics and nuclear engineering programs. The company competes across both total small business set-asides and full-and-open purchase orders, with set-aside concentration highest at NAVSUP (which issues predominantly small-business-set-aside connectors and valves) and lower at NAVSEA (which issues both set-aside and unrestricted buys for specialized panels). The $69.2 million combined potential value, coupled with 27 percent cash obligation, signals a vendor position as a qualified provider of standard and specialized valve and fitting components to Navy supply and engineering customers but with limited pipeline tension or recompete urgency in the near term.
