Hydro Engineering Innovation, LLC

Hydro Engineering Innovation, LLC, a Utah-based small business partnership, manufactures specialized aircraft wash systems, pressure washers, hydroblast equipment, and hydraulic/pneumatic components for federal agencies as a 100% prime contractor, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with recurring Total Small Business set-aside awards from the Defense Logistics Agency.

Hydro Engineering Innovation operates from South Salt Lake, Utah, structured as a limited liability partnership and classified under NAICS codes spanning air and gas compressor manufacturing, rubber and plastics hoses and belting manufacturing, and fluid power pump and motor manufacturing. The vendor competes across PSC 47 (hose and fittings) and miscellaneous maintenance and repair shop equipment categories. Recent activity shows sharp acceleration: one award in 2022, six in 2025, and thirty in 2026, reflecting expanded federal market engagement. Combined potential value across 38 prime awards totals $12.5 million, with $602 thousand obligated to date (5% of potential), indicating early-stage contract execution on newer vehicles.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which accounts for 24 awards totaling $845 thousand in combined potential value across small component procurements—hose assemblies, couplings, hydraulic kits, valve parts, and pressure washers. However, dollar concentration inverts sharply: the GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates potential value at $11 million across three delivery orders for aircraft wash systems (a $96,065.52 AWS system, a $62,038.57 turbine engine washing system for Coast Guard aircraft, and a placeholder-ceiling delivery order). The United States Special Operations Command holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract worth $300 thousand for hydroblast sustainment and maintenance services at Fallon, Nevada, and San Diego, California, with six delivery orders issued since September 2022. Secondary customers include the U.S. Coast Guard ($104 thousand across aircraft maintenance wash systems at NAS Point Mugu), the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation ($58 thousand for pressure washers and trailers at the Tracy Fish Collection Facility), the National Park Service ($33 thousand for a mobile watercraft decontamination system at Whiskeytown), and the Air Force ($66 thousand for a C-130 engine wash cart under Total Small Business set-aside).

Hydro Engineering Innovation places work under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (six task orders, $285 thousand combined potential value) and two single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency. The DLA contracts, both Total Small Business set-asides awarded in April 2026 and November 2025, carry $350 thousand ceilings each and run through April 2027 and November 2026 respectively—one for hose couplings (NSN 4730015657608) and one for hose assemblies (NSN 4720014824988), with ordering across DLA depots throughout CONUS and OCONUS. The SOCOM single-award IDIQ ($300 thousand, September 2022 through September 2027) specifies hydroblast sustainment and maintenance with field support across both Fallon and San Diego, with the most recent delivery order valued at $12,772.88 for Ranges West Fallon services completing March 2027.

Representative recent prime work includes a $66,203.57 Total Small Business purchase order from the Air Force (September 2025) to develop and deliver a new C-130 aircraft engine wash cart capable of servicing all four engines simultaneously while maintaining C-130J compatibility, for delivery to the 19th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Little Rock Air Force Base with completion by January 2026; a $96,065.52 GSA MAS delivery order (June 2026) for an AWS aircraft wash system from the Federal Acquisition Service; and a $62,038.57 GSA MAS delivery order (August 2026) from the Coast Guard for a turbine engine washing system to wash aircraft engines, performed in South Salt Lake with November 2026 completion. The vendor also holds a $350 thousand DLA single-award IDIQ (April 2026 through April 2027) for hose coupling procurement and supply across DLA distribution centers.

The vendor competes in full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside categories with no 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB designations noted in the award record. Six awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $211 thousand—modest recompete exposure relative to the $12.5 million total portfolio but concentrated on the GSA MAS and DLA single-award vehicle positions. As a small business manufacturing specialist in pressure washers, hydroblast systems, and hose/coupling components, Hydro Engineering Innovation competes in routine supply and maintenance equipment categories where component standardization and lead-time management drive award velocity rather than complex systems integration or professional services.
