Hcml, Inc.

Hcml, Inc. (The Battery Man & Repair Division), a woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, small disadvantaged business headquartered in El Cajon, California, provides automotive maintenance, repair, and low-speed vehicle remedial and preventative services to Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and General Services Administration as a prime contractor on 100% of recent federal awards. The vendor holds Subchapter S Corporation status with concurrent female ownership, veteran ownership, and service-disabled veteran ownership designations — all decision-relevant certifications that anchor its small-business set-aside and full-and-open pursuit posture.

The Battery Man & Repair's federal footprint centers on two customer relationships accounting for all recent activity. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation supplies 87% of combined potential value ($427 thousand across 5 awards), primarily through task orders issued under Hcml's single-award indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV SP470323D0004) valued at $192,305 and running through January 2028. The vendor has issued four delivery orders under this vehicle totaling approximately $233,945.55 in task order awards as of January 2026, addressing low-speed vehicle preventative and remedial maintenance requirements with performance in North Chesterfield, Richmond, Virginia, and Chula Vista, California. Representative work includes a $93,948.20 delivery order for low-speed vehicle maintenance in Chula Vista (awarded January 2023), a $57,642.59 delivery order for low-speed vehicle remedial maintenance in Richmond (awarded January 2025), and a $57,642.59 delivery order for low-speed vehicle preventative and remedial maintenance, also in Richmond (awarded January 2026). General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service places smaller volume — six awards valued at $59 thousand combined — for auto body repair services, including a $21,294.61 purchase order (November 2023, Total Small Business set-aside) and a $12,170.82 purchase order (June 2025, Total Small Business set-aside). One award to Immigration and Customs Enforcement rounds out the agency set at $6 thousand.

Combined potential value across all awards totals $492 thousand, with $262 thousand obligated (53% of ceiling), reflecting a vendor scaled to niche fleet-maintenance demand rather than prime enterprise work. Activity shows concentrated work: one award annually on average since 2020, with only one award reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months ($58 thousand potential value), producing minimal recompete pressure in that window. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor across automotive maintenance, repair, and low-speed vehicle component supply work, holding no subcontractor positions and performing no sub-award work. Capability concentration sits firmly in vehicular equipment maintenance — the top NAICS codes cluster around automotive repair and light-duty motor vehicle work (Automobile and Light Duty Motor Vehicle Manufacturing at 5 awards; Automotive Body, Paint, and Interior Repair and Maintenance at 4 awards; General Automotive Repair at 3 awards), with the bulk of PSC coding around maintenance and repair of vehicular equipment components and ground effect vehicles.
