Hermes Technical International, Inc.

Hermes Technical International, Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small business manufacturer based in Miami, Florida, supplies specialized aviation and defense hardware components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing predominantly in full-and-open (non-set-aside) purchase orders alongside selective total small business set-aside awards. The company operates as a manufacturer of aircraft parts, fasteners, bearings, cable assemblies, seals, gaskets, hydraulic components, and precision metal parts, with all products manufactured in America and accompanied by Certificates of Conformance.

Hermes' federal award footprint centers on the Defense Logistics Agency, which accounts for the vast majority of its work. DLA Aviation has issued 891 purchase orders valued at $7.1 million combined potential value; DLA Land and Maritime has issued 425 awards worth $1.8 million. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard ranks second by dollar value with 22 awards totaling $4.9 million, anchored by a $3.815 million total small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded June 21, 2024, running through June 2029, for cables and electrical wires supporting the USCG MH-60T helicopter. Representative prime work includes a $275,552 DLA Aviation purchase order for plate and spring assemblies (October 2025), a $94,180 order for thermosensing units (June 2024), a $36,000 order for cylinder housings (November 2024), and a $21,000 DLA Land and Maritime total small business set-away for fluid flow restrictors (December 2025). Coast Guard delivery orders under the MH-60T IDC have ranged from $3,500 to $373,207.50, with recent awards including a $42,228 order (September 2025) and a $231,336 order (September 2025).

The vendor's awards are highly concentrated in component manufacturing: the top five NAICS categories (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, Hardware Manufacturing, Bolt/Nut/Screw/Rivet/Washer Manufacturing, Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing, and Gasket/Packing/Sealing Device Manufacturing) account for 871 of 1,619 total awards. A comparable concentration appears in PSC codes, with Airframe Structural Components, Packing and Gasket Materials, Commercial Hardware, Bushings/Rings/Shims/Spacers, and Antifriction Bearings dominating the portfolio. Hermes competes on discrete purchase orders, typically firm fixed-price, ranging from under one hundred dollars to mid-five-figure values; the company holds no parent vehicles such as GWACs or agency-wide IDIQs beyond the single-award Coast Guard MH-60T IDC. Two indefinite delivery contracts (70Z03824DJ0000008 and SPE4A721D0040) show task order activity, though neither is characterized by volume ordering.

Activity has declined from a peak of 219 awards in 2022 to 93 awards in 2025 and 27 in the first half of 2026, suggesting either consolidation in procurement patterns, competition intensity, or shifts in customer demand. Combined potential value across all 1,619 awards stands at $14.6 million with $8.3 million obligated (57% execution rate). Only 2 awards face recompete or expiration within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal near-term cliff risk. Hermes operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontractor role in the source data, focusing on manufacturing and direct supply to federal customers rather than higher-level systems integration or service delivery. The company has maintained federal contracting registration since at least 2003 and operates exclusively from Doral, Florida, apart from occasional performance locations such as Stratford, Connecticut and Westbury, New York cited in individual orders.
