Empire Pump Corp

Empire Pump Corp, doing business as Duncan Pump, is a small-business prime contractor based in Phoenix, Arizona that supplies well pump repair, rehabilitation, and water infrastructure upgrade services to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis, with a specialized footprint in irrigation and potable water systems at military installations, federal correctional facilities, and Bureau of Indian Affairs properties.

The vendor operates as a for-profit corporate entity with a narrow, concrete capability set: well assessment, pump repair and replacement, water operations system upgrades, and related infrastructure maintenance. Recent representative work includes a $3 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Western Region (awarded September 2024, running through September 2029) to evaluate and rehabilitate up to 98 aging irrigation wells and pump systems across Pinal County, Arizona and the Gila River Indian Reservation, with two $5,375 delivery orders issued to date for evaluation and repair of individual wells; a $404,194 definitive contract with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Field Acquisition Office (May 2022–October 2023) to upgrade the water operations system at the Federal Correctional Institution in Phoenix; and a $58,430 emergency pump repair purchase order with the National Cemetery Administration (March 2025) for work at a NCA facility in Phoenix.

Customer concentration is moderate and geographically anchored. The top three funding agencies by potential value account for approximately 95% of combined awards: the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Western Region leads with $3 million across three awards, followed by the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command with $721 thousand across five awards, and the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command with $405 thousand across two awards. By award count, AETC (5 awards) and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons facility at Phoenix (4 awards) show higher transaction volume but lower individual dollar magnitude. The vendor has served eight distinct customer agencies, with all eighteen awards in the portfolio classified as prime (100%), indicating no subcontract footprint.

Activity has been episodic rather than sustained. The vendor recorded three awards in 2021, one in 2022, one in 2024, three in 2025, and one to date in 2026 (May 2026). Combined potential value across all eighteen awards is $4.9 million, with $1.9 million obligated to date (39% realization). The $3 million BIA Western Region IDIQ, awarded in September 2024 and running through 2029, anchors the forward pipeline and represents 61% of the total portfolio ceiling. Work is classified predominantly under NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance), with secondary activity in water and sewer construction and pump manufacturing categories. The vendor does not hold positions on government-wide vehicles or multi-agency BPAs; awards are direct to specific agencies or single-award IDIQs.
