Fluid Process Control Corp

Fluid Process Control Corp, a for-profit small business based in Burr Ridge, Illinois, supplies hydraulic and fluid control components—relief valves, couplings, elbows, restrictors, and related fittings—to the Department of Defense and federal supply agencies as a prime contractor (66% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on major defense vehicle platforms. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designation, though one small business set-aside purchase order from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime appears in recent history.

Fluid Process Control's customer base concentrates heavily on DLA and Navy procurement. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 49 awards with $255 thousand combined potential value, representing the largest share by both volume and dollars; the DLA Aviation division follows with 17 awards and $148 thousand combined potential value. The United States Marine Corps places 36 awards, the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command places 4 awards worth $26 thousand, and the Army Acquisition Support Center places 2 awards. These five customer entities account for 92% of the vendor's award count and 93% of combined potential value—a concentration pattern consistent with Fluid Process Control's core business as a supplier of standard hydraulic and fluid control parts to military logistics networks rather than a systems integrator or prime contractor on large platform programs.

Fluid Process Control operates primarily as a prime contractor placing small purchase orders under DLA standing agreements and Navy operational procurement. Representative prime awards include a $13,668 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for relief valve supply (May 2026), a $9,790 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for tube coupling (January 2024), a $3,367 purchase order from US Pacific Fleet Forces for a repair kit (April 2025), and multiple sub-$2,000 purchase orders from DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime for tube fittings, restrictors, tees, and elbows. The vendor sits on an Indefinite Delivery Contract (M6785422D1002) through DLA with three task orders and holds a position on the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services vehicle.

In its subcontractor role, Fluid Process Control supplies hydraulics to Oshkosh Defense LLC across the JLTV family of vehicles, the Navy Marine Ship Interdiction System carrier platform, and the Remotely Operated Ground Unit Expeditionary—Fires (ROGUE-FIRES) carrier, with numerous modifications and support task orders spanning 2023 through 2025. The vendor also supplies relief valves to DRS Sustainment Systems on the Joint Assault Bridge contract, hydraulic fittings to The Aerospace Corporation for high-pressure liquid oxygen applications, and Monel check valves and fittings to Amentum Technology for R&D services. Fluid Process Control's subcontract footprint is anchored by Oshkosh Defense, which accounts for the majority of identified sub awards.

Award activity spiked in 2023 with 21 awards, moderated to 15 in 2024, and dropped to 3 in 2025 and 1 in 2026, suggesting either reporting lag or reduced ordering velocity. Combined potential value across all awards totals $494 thousand, but reported obligated dollars stand at $8.1 million—a signal that the small purchase-order values in the source reflect ceiling amounts rather than typical invoiced volume. The vendor's capability footprint spans Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing (35 awards), Fluid Power Valve and Hose Fitting Manufacturing (14 awards), and Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (13 awards) under corresponding PSC codes for hose, pipe, tube fittings, and both powered and nonpowered valves.
