Flowserve Corp

Flowserve Corp's Flowserve US Company Division, doing business as Automax Actuators, manufactures electro-mechanical actuators, valve operators, and standard hardware components for the federal government as a prime contractor, operating from Lynchburg, Virginia with no SBA set-aside designations across recent awards. The division competes in full-and-open federal procurement, primarily supplying the Naval Supply Systems Command, Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation with specialized mechanical and electro-mechanical components for military vessels and defense logistics operations.

Recent prime awards include a $433.5 thousand purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime on October 1, 2025, for electro-mechanical actuators (10 units, NSN 4810013377420, completion December 9, 2026); a $296.5 thousand DLA Land and Maritime order on January 21, 2026, for nine ASSY LT-130 electrohydraulic actuators (NSN 4810011100999, completion April 14, 2027); and a $220.9 thousand DLA order on December 22, 2025, for three Gear Operator Valve components (NSN 4820016732035, completion March 15, 2027). Flowserve also holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Aviation (ceiling $250 thousand, awarded January 11, 2022, ultimate completion January 10, 2023) under which three delivery orders for hexagonal nuts were placed. The division's smaller awards span gaskets, lock washers, socket head cap screws, helical compression springs, and drive motion gears to NAVSUP and DLA.

Flowserve's federal customer base concentrates heavily on defense logistics. The Naval Supply Systems Command anchors the award count (348 awards, $9.4 million combined potential value), but DLA Land and Maritime dominates the dollar ranking (305 awards, $15.3 million combined potential value). DLA Aviation (64 awards, $1.2 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (1,911 awards, $550 thousand), and DLA Troop Support Hardware (30 awards, $477 thousand) round out the top five. The discrepancy between count and value reflects a large volume of small routine hardware orders to NAVSUP against a smaller number of higher-value electro-mechanical component awards to DLA Land and Maritime. Across the full source dataset, Flowserve's award portfolio spans 2,696 transactions (817 prime, 1,879 sub) since 2004, with recent activity showing sustained prime work: seven awards through March 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, seventeen awards with combined potential value of $3.9 million face ultimate completion and recompete exposure.

Flowserve operates as a subcontractor predominately to Huntington Ingalls Inc. on carrier overhaul (RCOH) and advanced planning programs. Sub-award work centers on pneumatic and electric motor valve operators (LT-130, LT-150, LT-550 series designations) and supporting components for CVN-class carrier maintenance and DDG-51-class destroyer construction. A September 2024 sub-award to Electric Boat Corporation involved long-lead-time material for SSN-814 submarine construction. The source names no other significant prime subcontracting relationships, though the large sub-award count suggests bench-strength in naval shipbuilding supply chains.

Flowserve's capability portfolio spans ship building and repairing (1,882 awards in the source data), industrial valve manufacturing (102 awards), gasket and sealing device manufacturing (83 awards), and bolt, nut, screw, and washer manufacturing (72 awards). Primary product service codes reflect this mix: valves powered (160 awards), packing and gasket materials (112 awards), switches (79 awards), nuts and washers (45 awards), and electrical motors (42 awards). The vendor is positioned as a stable commodity supplier to naval and defense logistics procurement rather than as a platform or systems integrator.

Flowserve US Company is a division of Flowserve Corporation, a global manufacturer of industrial flow control products, pumps, valves, seals, and automation systems headquartered outside Lynchburg with significant operational capacity there. The parent entity maintains federal contract relationships since at least 2001 and carries both prime contracting authority and federal grant participation through its Seal Division.
