Fluid-Air Products Inc.

Fluid-Air Products Inc., doing business as Fluid-Air Products Inc. Government Division, supplies pneumatic cleaning guns, spray guns, fluid needle valves, pressure tanks, hoses, and related industrial fluid control equipment to the Department of Defense and civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The vendor is a small business based in St. Louis, Missouri, operating as a for-profit corporate entity with no SBA set-aside certifications on most individual purchase orders, though six active Indefinite Delivery Contracts held with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime carry Total Small Business set-aside designations with $250,000 ceiling values each. Fluid-Air Products has maintained federal contractor status since 2001.

The vendor's customer footprint is highly concentrated in defense logistics. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime alone accounts for 622 awards (49% of the total) worth $5.9 million in combined potential value, dominating the vendor's award pipeline. The top five customers by award count—DLA Land and Maritime, the Department of the Army, DLA (parent agency), DLA Aviation, and DLA Troop Support—represent 66 percent of all awards. When ranked by dollar value rather than volume, however, the GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates with 11 awards carrying $30 million in combined potential value, primarily through the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F9002D vehicle. This ranking divergence reflects the vendor's dual posture: high-volume, low-dollar orders through DLA IDCs (individual orders typically ranging from under $100 to $15,000) and occasional large-value delivery orders through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (individual orders up to $49,500). Recent representative work includes a $36,283 Total Small Business paint spray outfit purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (March 2025), a $46,752.56 total small business fluid air equipment delivery order from Air Combat Command under the GSA MAS (September 2024), a $179,689.88 total small business spray gun paint purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (March 2024), and an $134,618 total small business spray outfit paint purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (April 2023).

The vendor holds a formalized position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and operates as a prime contractor under six active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, all set aside for total small business participation. The Federal Supply Schedule GS07F9002D has generated 248 task orders worth $1.9 million combined potential value, and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule has generated 70 task orders worth $1 million. Under the DLA IDCs, Fluid-Air Products has received consistent delivery order activity for pneumatic cleaning guns (NSN 4940002480866), spray guns (NSN 8510 series paint spray designations), fluid needle valves, pressure tanks, hoses, and related components, with ceiling values at the $250,000 level refreshed periodically—the most recent IDC award dated April 30, 2025 for one-year performance.

Activity has declined modestly over the trailing five years: 42 awards in 2022 to 22 in 2025, with only 2 awards recorded in 2026 to date (as of mid-July). The combined potential value across all 1,261 prime awards is $42.7 million, with $18.8 million obligated (44% realization rate), indicating substantial unfunded ceiling exposure across the vendor's vehicles. Fluid-Air Products operates as a pure-prime vendor with no documented subcontract role; all awards are direct prime contracts or delivery orders.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on maintenance and repair shop specialized equipment. The top PSC categories are Miscellaneous Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment (620 awards), Motor Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment (135 awards), Valves, Nonpowered (74 awards), and Hose and Flexible Tubing (67 awards). NAICS distribution includes Automotive Parts and Accessories Stores (250 awards), Photographic and Photocopying Equipment Manufacturing (178 awards), Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing (105 awards), and Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing (100 awards). The vendor supplies equipment supporting military maintenance and logistics operations across all military branches, with performance locations in St. Louis, Missouri (Sappington and Gravois Road facilities) and delivery to DLA distribution centers both within the continental United States and overseas.
