G3 Automated Controls LLC

G3 Automated Controls LLC, a small-business partnership or limited liability partnership based in Souderton, Pennsylvania, delivers hydraulic systems refurbishment, equipment supply, and technical services to the Department of Defense and the Army as both a prime contractor (25% of recent awards) and a subcontractor to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (75% of recent awards). The vendor does not hold a federal contract vehicle seat and competes without set-aside designation.

G3's federal footprint is recent and narrowly focused. The vendor has completed four awards since September 2024, with combined potential value of $69 thousand against actual obligations of $199 thousand — indicating accelerated drawdown or contract modifications expanding scope beyond initial ceiling. The single prime award, a full-and-open purchase order from Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground dated September 2024 with a ceiling of $68 thousand, covers refurbishment and upgrade of a government-owned hydraulic power unit, including control cards, valves, transducers, accumulators, a control panel, and associated labor. The work supports the Army's Research, Development and Engineering Command and was executed under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with completion targeted for June 2026.

Three sub-awards, all dated between February and January 2026, flow through Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory on defense research and engineering task orders supporting the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering under the Power Projection 3 program. These subs cover equipment supply and materials under indefinite delivery contracts HQ003419D0006 and HY023325DE002. Customer concentration splits between the Army Materiel Command (1 award, $69 thousand) and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (3 awards), with all work anchored to defense modernization and research infrastructure. Award volume remains flat across 2024–2026 with no apparent growth trajectory in the visible pipeline.
