Hydraulic And Pneumatic Systems Inc.

Hydraulic And Pneumatic Systems Inc., a veteran-owned small business incorporated in Roanoke, Virginia, supplies hydraulic and pneumatic components — principally valves, pumps, and related actuator systems — to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor on small-dollar purchase orders. The company is a Subchapter S corporation with no subcontract footprint and operates across full-and-open and small-business set-aside procurement vehicles, competing predominantly on direct purchase-order awards rather than large IDIQs or GWACs.

Customer concentration is scattered across defense, civilian research, and health care agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 63% of recent awards, anchored by the Naval Sea Systems Command (10 awards, $15 thousand combined potential value), the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (4 awards, $22 thousand), and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (3 awards, $24 thousand), alongside the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center and Langley Research Center (5 combined awards, $347 thousand combined potential value). The potential-value ranking diverges sharply: NASA Langley Research Center dominates dollars despite lower award count (2 awards, $270 thousand combined potential value), while Naval Sea Systems Command places the largest number of orders but in small denominations. This signals a two-tier customer posture — high-volume commodity supply to Navy and DLA procurement channels, and specialized refurbishment and installation work for NASA's test facilities.

Activity is sparse and episodic. The vendor carried one award in each of 2019 and 2020, three in 2022, three in 2024, and one in early 2026. The combined potential value across all 35 recent awards totals $551 thousand, with $602 thousand obligated across that span — indicating historical orders have occasionally exceeded initial ceiling values. Award scope by product category splits between industrial machinery and equipment merchant wholesaling (6 awards), fluid power valve and hose fitting manufacturing (5 awards), and other metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing (3 awards), with PSC codes weighted to powered valves (5 awards) and nonpowered valves (5 awards).

Named recent work includes a $44.9 thousand purchase order from NASA Langley Research Center (Shared Services Center) for installation of new Moog hydraulic valve controllers (awarded March 25, 2024, performance through May 30, 2025), a $17.8 thousand order for an oil cooler for a coaxial test stand at NASA Langley (awarded August 16, 2024, completed January 2025), a $13.9 thousand order for factory refurbishment of spare Moog hydraulic servo valves at NASA's National Transonic Facility (awarded May 9, 2024, completed July 18, 2024), and a $27.8 thousand Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order for a pump in total small business set-aside (awarded January 9, 2026, performance through April 28, 2026). No recompete cliff is present in the next twenty-four months; awards are scattered and low-magnitude, suggesting the vendor operates in an ad-hoc supply capacity rather than as a strategic prime on sustained programs.
