About Gaumer Company, Inc.
Gaumer Company, Inc., doing business as Gaumer Process, manufactures heating elements and thermal-management equipment for federal agencies as a prime contractor (65% of recent awards) and subcontractor on Navy and NASA programs. Gaumer is a foreign-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Houston, Texas, structured as a for-profit manufacturer of goods. The company operates as a subsidiary of Backer Hotwatt, Inc., also foreign-owned and a federal contractor in the same thermal-equipment space.
Gaumer's customer base centers on Navy and Coast Guard logistics operations. The top five customer agencies account for 85% of recent awards: the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (6 awards, $190 thousand combined potential value) leads by volume and dollars, followed by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (5 awards), Military Sealift Command (3 awards, $37 thousand combined potential value), and NASA Johnson Space Center (2 awards). The recent prime award footprint is anchored by a May 2024 Coast Guard purchase order for six heating elements valued at $48,513, set aside for total small business under NAICS 333414 (Heating Equipment Manufacturing). Work spans oil and gas field machinery manufacturing (7 awards), ship building and repair (6 awards), and industrial boilers and space-and-water heating equipment (3 awards each in the PSC portfolio). As a subcontractor, Gaumer supplies ceramic strip heaters to Backer Hotwatt on two NASA Johnson Space Center engineering sub-awards, most notably a January 2025 funding modification increasing the award by $27.1 million.
Activity since 2019 shows a spike in 2021 (5 awards) followed by minimal volume in recent years — one award in 2024 and two in 2025. The combined potential value across all twenty awards totals $267 thousand, yet combined obligated dollars reach $2.2 million (812% of potential value), indicating heavy invoicing against small ceilings. Gaumer competes primarily under small business set-asides and as a subcontractor to parent company Backer Hotwatt on specialty heating and thermal-equipment work for Navy ships and space systems.
