Hydro-Fitting Manufacturing Corporation

Hydro-Fitting Manufacturing Corporation, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Covina, California, manufactures custom industrial plumbing components and pneumatic assemblies for the Defense Department as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, with a subsidiary role to parent company Novaria Holdings LLC. The vendor competes predominantly in unrestricted federal space rather than under set-aside vehicles, though its four active indefinite delivery contracts include Total Small Business set-aside designations on the largest ceiling agreements.

Hydro-Fitting's customer base is heavily concentrated in Defense Logistics Agency operations. The top five funding agencies account for 95% of recent awards, led entirely by DLA components: DLA Land and Maritime holds 2,322 awards valued at $24.2 million combined potential value, DLA Aviation represents 419 awards at $10 million, and DLA itself (unallocated) carries 117 awards at $788 thousand. Within this concentration, Land and Maritime dominates both award count and dollar share, while Aviation anchors a substantial secondary revenue stream. Navy and Air Force activity trails significantly behind DLA, indicating minimal diversification outside defense logistics.

Hydro-Fitting supplies specialized industrial plumbing components across multiple families: tube fittings (couplings, elbows, tees, adapters, nipples, unions), valves (pneumatic, aircraft wheel), caps and plugs, reducers and bushings, hose assemblies, pressure gauges, air-inflating chucks, and miscellaneous connectors and sleeves. Representative recent work includes a $215,082 Total Small Business purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in October 2025 for 1,512 units of sleeve clinch tube components; a $114,316.15 full-and-open purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in October 2024 for 443 units of tube caps; and a $1.18 million Total Small Business indefinite delivery contract awarded by DLA Aviation in June 2025 for air pressure gage assemblies and related industrial plumbing components through June 2030. Delivery orders under the Aviation IDC have been issued at $78,681.40 per award in July 2025 for the same gauge assemblies. The vendor also holds a $250,000 Total Small Business IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for air-inflating chucks, awarded July 2025 with estimated 12 delivery orders annually and a 575-unit minimum over contract term.

Hydro-Fitting holds four active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA's Aviation, Land and Maritime, and supporting components, with combined ceiling value exceeding $1.93 million and performance periods extending through 2030. The largest — the $1.18 million DLA Aviation IDC — anchors the vendor's capability to respond to recurring demand for pressure measurement and pneumatic hardware. Three additional single-award IDCs valued at $250,000 each position the vendor as an on-demand supplier for air-inflating chucks, pressure gauges, and miscellaneous industrial plumbing components. Recent activity shows significant award volume through calendar 2024, with 120 awards that year, followed by 121 awards in 2025 and 30 awards through April 2026, indicating sustained but slightly declining procurement tempo. Within the next twenty-four months, 35 awards with combined potential value of $694 thousand face completion and therefore recompete exposure.

The vendor operates exclusively as prime contractor with no identified subcontractors across its award portfolio. All work is performed at its Covina facility, and the vendor maintains no secondary teaming relationships or complex supply-chain dependencies in its federal footprint. Hydro-Fitting's contract strategy reflects a model of rapid-delivery, firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders against pre-established indefinite delivery vehicles, enabling DLA to procure National Stock Number components on an as-needed basis for military maintenance and operational readiness without requiring competitive repricing for each transaction. The vendor's specialization in fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing (1,454 awards across the portfolio) and its deep penetration into DLA's land and maritime logistics operations position it as a mission-critical supplier for spare parts supporting U.S. military platform maintenance.
