Dover Pumps & Process Solutions Segment Inc.

Dover Pumps & Process Solutions Segment Inc., doing business as Blackmer, supplies rotary and centrifugal pump units, pump repair services, and pump-related components to the Department of Defense as a large-business prime contractor (97% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on major naval shipbuilding and ship-repair programs. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dover Corporation, a diversified industrial manufacturer headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois, and operates from facilities in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Wyoming, Michigan.

Blackmer competes exclusively in full-and-open federal procurements with no set-aside designations across its entire federal footprint. The company manufactures rotary and centrifugal pumps, SEPA pump units, rotary vane pumps, submersed aircraft pumps, bilge pumps, hand pumps, and centrifugal pump assemblies, along with repair services for all pump types. Representative prime work includes a $744.1 million firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command for a SEPA pump rotary unit (awarded July 9, 2024), a $707.8 million order for rotary pump units (June 21, 2022), and a $564.6 million order for nine SEPA pump units (April 8, 2025). Repair contracts reflect specialized turnaround-time requirements; a March 2026 award for rotary pump repair services specifies a 90-day repair turnaround from asset return to government acceptance, with government source inspection and MIL-STD-130 marking compliance required.

Navy dominance anchors the customer concentration. Naval Supply Systems Command accounts for 755 awards (39% of total volume) with $48.8 million in combined potential value—substantially all of Blackmer's prime revenue. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime trails with 314 awards valued at $3.2 million combined potential, followed by the Coast Guard (49 awards, $1.9 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (124 awards, $1.3 million), and DLA Troop Support Hardware (5 awards, $520 thousand). Together, these five customers account for 84% of awards by count and 83% of combined potential value.

Blackmer sits on five IDIQs and BOAs. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (SP070000D9733) with 101 task orders, a Basic Ordering Agreement (SPRMM111G0901) with 83 task orders valued at $5.3 million combined, an Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPM7MX09D9010) with 67 task orders valued at $1.4 million, and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPM70000D9733) with 41 task orders. A Navy BOA (N0010482G0100) carries 22 task orders. These vehicles anchor the majority of Blackmer's recurring revenue and represent its ability to respond to rapid Navy and DLA requirements for pump equipment and repair services on short timelines.

Activity has remained stable year over year—45 awards in 2022, 51 in 2023, 43 in 2024, 34 in 2025, and 5 through mid-2026—with modest volatility but no sharp decline. Thirteen awards (combined potential value $4.1 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete. The source attributes over 140 prime awards to Blackmer since 2021, though the enumerated award count in the source data spans decades and totals 1,906 records (prime and sub combined), reflecting the company's long-standing role as a Navy pump supplier.

Subcontract work ties Blackmer to major naval primes. The company supplies rotary and centrifugal pump components and assemblies to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on DDG-51 class destroyer construction and LHA-class amphibious assault ship programs, to Marinette Marine Corporation on FFG(X) guided-missile frigate construction (with repeated awards for positive displacement pumps and rotating and reciprocating machinery), to Electric Boat Corporation on Virginia-class submarine construction, to BAE Systems Maritime Solutions San Diego on USS Essex modifications, and to Metro Machine Corp on USS Ford maintenance availability planning. These sub relationships reflect Blackmer's role as an original-equipment-manufacturer (OEM) authorized distributor and pump specialist embedded in Navy capital shipbuilding and maintenance supply chains.

Blackmer's federal contracting portfolio centers exclusively on pump and related fluid-transfer equipment manufacturing (NAICS 333911, Pump and Pumping Equipment Manufacturing accounts for 707 of the 1,906 awards) under PSC 4320 (Power and Hand Pumps), with secondary exposure to aircraft engine parts, ship repair, industrial machinery wholesaling, and gasket manufacturing. The company operates as a critical sole-source or authorized-distributor-only supplier on many procurements, where the Navy and DLA determine that reverse engineering is uneconomical and technical data rights are unavailable—positioning Blackmer as an incumbent with low recompete risk on legacy pump systems but also limiting its exposure to competitive set-asides or full open-market competition beyond authorized-distributor requirements.
