Fluid Power, Inc.

Fluid Power, Inc., a Hudson, Ohio-based for-profit manufacturer, sells specialized aerospace and aviation components—oxygen connectors, compressed air adapters, filler valves, pneumatic test sets, and connection assemblies—as a prime contractor exclusively to the Defense Logistics Agency and related Department of Defense customers. The company operates 100% as a prime contractor; roughly half of recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations, with the remainder competing full-and-open, indicating no SBA certification but eligibility for small-business set-asides on individual procurements.

Fluid Power's federal customer base is heavily concentrated in aviation logistics. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 295 of 616 tracked awards (77% coverage, $24 million combined potential value) and dominates both volume and dollar rankings. DLA Land and Maritime contributes 168 awards ($1.9 million), while DLA Troop Support Hardware, the Department of the Navy (Naval Supply Systems Command and Naval Air Systems Command), and the Department of the Air Force collectively round out the active set. Across the full portfolio of 798 awards since 1980, the company has generated $41.8 million in combined potential value with $22 million obligated to date. Annual award volume has remained steady at 17 to 27 awards per year over the past five years, with 27 awards in 2025 and 8 awards recorded in 2026 to date (April 14, 2026 most recent).

Fluid Power's work product centers on high-pressure oxygen breathing systems and pneumatic equipment for military aircraft. Representative recent prime work includes a $215,097.27 Total Small Business set-aside delivery order (September 2025) for B-52 connection assemblies, a $263,650 purchase order (May 2025) for five aircraft oxygen analyzers awarded by Naval Air Systems Command, and a $239,928.54 Total Small Business set-aside delivery order (May 2025) for connection assemblies. The company also delivered a $576,573.24 purchase order (August 2022) for twelve portable oxygen systems to the Naval Supply Systems Command and a $495,000 purchase order (September 2021) for portable oxygen systems.

Fluid Power holds seven active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and DLA Troop Support, ranging from $250,000 to $1.999 billion in ceiling value. The most recent IDC, awarded March 16, 2026, carries a $1.106 million ceiling for oxygen mask connectors as a Total Small Business single-award contract running through March 2031. Two earlier IDCs—awarded March 28, 2025 ($1.999 billion, B-52 connection assemblies) and February 26, 2024 ($250,000 for oxygen connectors, test sets, and adapters)—anchor the vehicle footprint. These IDCs generate steady task-order flow: the top five IDVs by task-order count carry between 9 and 14 orders each, with combined potential values ranging from $29,000 to $252,000. This vehicle-based structure reflects Fluid Power's established position as a qualified rapid-response supplier for DLA Aviation's spare-parts logistics operations.

The company's commodity focus is narrow and specialized. NAICS and PSC concentration reflects aircraft and pressurization equipment manufacturing: the top five NAICS codes account for 479 awards (Aircraft Manufacturing, 187; Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, 160; Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing, 71; Hardware Manufacturing, 34; Motor Vehicle Engine Parts Manufacturing, 27). The top PSC code—Aircraft Air Conditioning, Heating, and Pressurizing Equipment—covers 488 awards. Oxygen connectors, in multiple configurations (Connector Oxygen MA, Connector Oxygen LI) and filler valves are the most frequently named line items across the award portfolio, alongside compressed air adapters, pneumatic test sets, and B-52-specific connection assemblies.

Recompete exposure over the next twenty-four months is modest: thirteen awards with ultimate completion dates in that window carry combined potential value of $1.1 million. The vendor does not subcontract; 100% of its recent award activity is prime work. Fluid Power's federal footprint is built on sole-source and steady-volume task orders off established IDCs with DLA Aviation, making it a critical single-source supplier for specialized oxygen and pneumatic components rather than a platform provider or systems integrator.
