Hermez Communications Inc.

Hermez Communications Inc., a minority-owned, Subcontinent Asian American-owned for-profit corporation headquartered in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, operates as a federal prime contractor (100% of recent awards) supplying a broad range of equipment and materials across civilian and defense agencies. The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business that competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, with occasional unrestricted procurements; recent awards across 172 contract actions span fiscal years 2022 through 2026, valued at $3.6 million combined potential value.

Hermez's capability portfolio is equipment-centric and highly diversified. Rather than services, the vendor sources and delivers discrete goods across multiple categories: military-grade hardware (ammunition, range targets, nutplates for aircraft), construction and facility materials (fire sprinkler pipe, lumber, welding equipment, PPE), information technology and communications equipment (fiber optic components, cables, computing accessories), audiovisual and broadcast equipment (camera systems, podcast gear, security infrastructure), and specialized field equipment (UTVs, pontoon boats, band saws, dehumidifiers). Representative examples include a $99.5 thousand order from the Bureau of Land Management (August 2026) for UTVs supporting Colorado and New Mexico field offices under Total Small Business set-aside; a $42.4 thousand National Park Service purchase order (September 2026) for Cor-Ten self-weathering steel shade structure materials for Canyonlands National Park; a $195 thousand Federal Correctional Complex Coleman order (August 2023) for 9mm and .223 ammunition; a $102.9 thousand Army Forces Command contract (May 2023) for carpentry and welding equipment; and a $26.9 thousand Department of Agriculture security camera system installation award (April 2026) for an Agricultural Research Service facility in Arkansas. The company also fulfills specialized orders such as naval hydraulic fittings (May 2026, $35.8 thousand from Naval Sea Systems Command) and Coast Guard aircraft components (July 2026, $20.1 thousand for Click Bond nutplates under unrestricted competition).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Army organizations. The Department of the Army ecosystem accounts for 45 percent of combined potential value across the top five customers: the Department of the Army broadly holds 23 awards worth $603 thousand, Army Forces Command holds 19 awards worth $563 thousand, West Point Military Academy holds 7 awards worth $208 thousand, Army Training and Doctrine Command holds 8 awards worth $115 thousand, and Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region holds 6 awards worth $128 thousand. These five customers comprise 63 awards and represent 45 percent of all dollars. Beyond the Army, Hermez has worked with 57 distinct federal agencies in recent years, including the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Coast Guard, Department of State, Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, Department of Veterans Affairs, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Defense regional commands, Air Force, Air National Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy — indicating broad-based civilian and defense-agency exposure but with no dominant customer outside the Army ecosystem.

Award activity shows volatile trajectory: three awards in 2022, a spike to 21 in 2023, contraction to nine in 2024, five in 2025, and 11 in the current year (2026). The recompete cliff is minimal: only three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $162 thousand, suggesting limited near-term recompete exposure or revenue cliff. Hermez operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data, meaning the vendor does not appear on other contractors' sub-award rosters and does not bring sub-tier relationships to teaming arrangements.

The vendor's primary NAICS categories reflect its product-sourcing posture: Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing (14 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (9 awards), Office Furniture Manufacturing (8 awards), Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing (8 awards), and Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (7 awards). PSC codes align with the same pattern — Hardware, Commercial (9 awards), Lumber and Related Basic Wood Materials (6 awards), Athletic and Sporting Equipment (6 awards), Miscellaneous Construction Materials (5 awards). This fragmentation across NAICS and PSC categories indicates Hermez operates as a generalist equipment distributor and procurement agent for government installations rather than a specialist vendor, winning small purchase orders across dozens of product lines through competitive and set-aside solicitations. All work is performed at or shipped from the Fair Lawn headquarters, with no operational presence at customer sites or subordinate facilities.
