Fluidol, Inc.

Fluidol, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of precision-engineered seal components headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, operates as a 100% prime contractor supplying plain seals and nonmetallic rotary seals to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) under firm fixed-price purchase orders. The company holds continuous federal vendor registration since February 2002, competes full-and-open (no set-asides), and operates with no documented subcontracting relationships.

Fluidol's federal footprint is narrowly specialized and exclusively transactional. The vendor manufactures gasket, packing, and sealing device components (NAICS 326290) and hardware (PSC 5730 — Packing and Gasket Materials; PSC 5340 — Bushings, Rings, Shims, and Spacers), with 43 of 80 awards classified under gasket and sealing-device manufacturing and 46 under packing and gasket materials procurement. Recent representative work includes a $6,087.50 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for plain seals (April 29, 2026, completed July 6, 2026), a $7,042.20 order for nonmetallic rotary seals (July 16, 2025), and a $4,780.00 order for plain seals (April 2, 2025). All work is performed at Fluidol's manufacturing facility in Columbus, Ohio.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for approximately 98% of combined potential value across all awards. Within DLA, three sub-components dominate: Troop Support Hardware (26 awards, $232 thousand combined potential value), Aviation (9 awards, $152 thousand combined potential value), and Troop Support Construction and Equipment (10 awards, $118 thousand combined potential value). Land and Maritime, the division shown in recent awards, represents 7 awards totaling $37 thousand combined potential value. Combined potential value across all 80 awards totals $551 thousand — unusually low relative to obligation history, which shows $1.7 million obligated (301% of potential value), indicating historical and repeat purchases that have consistently exceeded initial ceiling values.

The vendor's activity trajectory is sparse and episodic. Over the past five years, Fluidol has received two awards in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026; prior years show one to two awards annually. The one named parent vehicle in the portfolio is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPM40605D0806) carrying five task orders and $68 thousand combined potential value. This narrow, transactional profile — small dollar orders, no subcontracting, and single-customer dependency on DLA — positions Fluidol as a qualified component supplier rather than a systems integrator or managed-services provider.
