Faxon Engineering Co Inc.

Faxon Engineering Co Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Bloomfield, Connecticut, manufactures nonmetallic hoses, hose assemblies, couplings, fittings, valves, and hydraulic and pneumatic fluid power components as a prime contractor to federal defense agencies. The company competes predominantly on full-and-open basis (approximately 75 percent of recent award volume carries no set-aside designation), though it regularly receives Total Small Business set-aside awards; nearly 1,535 prime awards across the past twenty years center on consumable fluid power products for military equipment maintenance and logistics.

Faxon Engineering's customer base concentrates heavily on the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which accounts for 1,147 awards and $22.6 million in combined potential value—approximately 75 percent of the vendor's award footprint. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command holds 96 awards valued at $3.1 million, Naval Sea Systems Command holds 189 awards at $2.6 million, and the U.S. Coast Guard holds 18 awards at $499 thousand, collectively representing all of the remaining meaningful volume. The vendor's top five customers account for 95 percent of award count and 96 percent of potential value, a concentration pattern driven by DLA's outsized reliance on Faxon for continuous procurement of nonmetallic hose, hose assemblies, and related components meeting qualified products list and military specification requirements.

Representative recent work includes a $799.5 thousand Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (August 2025) for nonmetallic hose assemblies; a $264.1 thousand Total Small Business set-aside from Naval Supply Systems Command (March 2025) for 1-1/4 inch hoses; an $85.4 thousand DLA order for hose assemblies (December 2024); an $80 thousand Total Small Business set-aside from the U.S. Coast Guard (November 2025) for MH-60T helicopter hose assemblies; and multiple purchases from Naval Sea Systems Command for specialized hose assemblies supporting submarine and surface ship applications, including a $30.7 thousand award (January 2025) for Norfolk Naval Shipyard.

Faxon Engineering holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime: a $350 thousand single-award IDC (October 2025, completion October 2026) for nonmetallic hose assemblies under NSN 4720015597943; a $250 thousand single-award IDC (October 2025, completion October 2026) for nonmetallic hose under NSN 4720006244057; and a $250 thousand Total Small Business single-award IDC (November 2024, completion November 2025, recently expired or expiring) for nonmetallic hose assemblies under NSN 4720008264782. These vehicles function as standing orders enabling DLA to issue delivery orders at recurring intervals—typically ten to twelve orders annually with guaranteed minimum quantities—to maintain consumable fluid power component inventory across continental and overseas defense logistics depots. All three carry firm fixed-price terms and target delivery windows of 126 to 180 days after order placement.

Activity has remained relatively stable over the past five years (122 awards in 2022, 92 in 2023, 104 in 2024, 120 in 2025, 64 year-to-date in 2026), with combined potential value across all 1,535 awards totaling $30.3 million and combined dollars obligated at $24.4 million (80 percent realization rate). Twenty-four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.5 million, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in DLA and Navy supply command contracts for routine hose and hose assembly items.

Faxon Engineering serves as an authorized Eaton Aeroquip Hose Center and maintains a subcontract relationship with Electric Boat Corporation, where it supplies hose assemblies for SSN 804 submarine construction (submarine submarine hull number 804, Fiscal Year 2020). The company's NAICS portfolio centers on All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (721 awards), Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing (230 awards), and Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (127 awards); its PSC concentration runs to Hose and Flexible Tubing (1,031 awards) and Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication, and Railing Fittings (256 awards). The vendor does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts or enterprise-scale vehicle platforms beyond its DLA IDCs.
