Fluid Power Solution LLC

Fluid Power Solution LLC, a small business limited liability company based in Hilliard, Ohio, supplies specialized hydraulic system components and subassemblies to the Department of Defense and the Navy as a prime contractor on nearly all purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, without relying on set-aside designations despite holding Total Small Business set-aside capacity on several IDCs.

Fluid Power Solution LLC is a child entity of Wooster Hydrostatics, Inc., a for-profit parent company also based in Ohio. The vendor specializes in manufacturing and supplying hydraulic pumps, cylinders, motors, valves, gaskets, seals, springs, and related mechanical components that support military equipment maintenance and operational readiness. The company's NAICS profile centers on Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing, Industrial Valve Manufacturing, and Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing. Representative prime work includes a $963 thousand definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command for axial piston pumps (awarded November 2022, completed May 2023), a $240 thousand purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for fluid filter elements (awarded January 2024), a $234 thousand total small business set-aside from DLA Aviation for axial piston pumps (awarded September 2023), a $121 thousand purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command for axial piston pumps (awarded December 2023), and recurring small-value purchase orders ($1 thousand to $84 thousand range) across DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime for gaskets, cylinders, seals, springs, and hydraulic motors. The vendor also holds three active indefinite delivery contracts: two single-award IDCs with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for cylinder assemblies (each valued at $250 thousand, awarded November 2024 and July 2025, running through July 2025), and one single-award IDC with the U.S. Embassy in Colombo for preventative maintenance services on the Fuel Master system ($165 thousand, awarded November 2024, running through October 2026).

Customer concentration sits almost entirely within the Department of Defense. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 91 percent of recent awards: Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (69 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (54 awards, $1.2 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (25 awards, $1.8 million), Military Sealift Command (16 awards, $291 thousand), and Naval Sea Systems Command (10 awards, $141 thousand). When ranked by combined potential value, Naval Supply Systems Command anchors the portfolio at $1.8 million across 25 orders, followed by DLA Land and Maritime at $1.2 million and DLA Aviation at $1.1 million, with the U.S. Embassy in Colombo representing a minor civilian outpost at $227 thousand across three awards. The vendor competes predominantly on unrestricted (non-set-aside) purchase orders despite holding Total Small Business set-aside authority on two DLA IDCs — most recent awards carry no set-aside designation, indicating competition in full-and-open buys rather than reserved categories.

Activity has accelerated sharply. The portfolio shows 11 awards in 2022, declining to 9 in 2023, recovering to 12 in 2024, then jumping to 33 in 2025 — a three-fold increase year over year. The most recent award came on April 2, 2026, a $69 thousand purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command for axial piston pumps. Over 191 total awards spanning from December 2008 to April 2026, the vendor has accumulated $4.8 million in combined potential value with $4.5 million obligated (95 percent draw-down rate), reflecting firm fixed-price transaction discipline. Only three awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $38 thousand), presenting minimal recompete exposure in the near term.

Fluid Power Solution LLC subcontracts to large naval shipbuilders on specialized hydraulic pump and steering-gear work. The vendor serves as a sub to Huntington Ingalls Inc. on CVN 75 refueling and complex overhaul advance planning for variable-displacement pumps (awarded October 2025) and on FY17 RCOH (refueling and complex overhaul) work involving hydraulic pump horsepower limiters, steering gear pump diagnostics, and pump disassembly-reassembly support (awarded September 2022). The vendor also subs to HII Fleet Support Group LLC on ship-building and repair funding realignments (awarded January 2025 and January 2024). These subcontracts anchor the vendor's 2 percent sub-award exposure (4 of 191 awards) and demonstrate capability in naval overhaul and modernization programs where large prime contractors require specialized hydraulic component expertise.

The vendor's component-focused business model — small to mid-sized purchase orders for individual pumps, cylinders, valves, gaskets, and seals rather than systems integration or sustainment contracts — creates high order frequency (33 awards in 2025 alone) but modest per-award values. The portfolio lacks large delivery vehicles, bundled IDIQs, or GWACs; instead, Fluid Power Solution operates through routine DLA and Navy procurement channels with repeat ordering patterns across aviation and land-maritime logistics. This posture positions the vendor as a responsive component supplier in the DoD supply chain rather than a platform integrator or prime systems contractor.
