About the company
Hydroplane LTD, a minority-owned, woman-owned small business headquartered in Sherman Oaks, California, manufactures modular hydrogen fuel cell power plants for aviation, mobile energy storage, and electric propulsion as a prime contractor to defense research agencies. The company holds SBA certifications as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and is subcontinent Asian American-owned. All five recent awards in the source data are prime contracts; the vendor operates exclusively as a prime and does not subcontract.
Hydroplane's customer base is concentrated in defense research and development. The Department of the Army accounts for two awards totaling $2.1 million in combined potential value, the Air Force Research Laboratory accounts for two awards totaling $900 thousand, and the Marine Corps accounts for one award worth $175 thousand. These three agencies represent 100% of recent awards. The vendor's award portfolio totals $3.2 million in combined potential value, with all dollars obligated.
Capability work centers on hydrogen fuel cell technology development. Recent representative contracts include a $1.9 million definitive contract from the Army awarded in April 2026 for development of a hydroplane fuel cell powerplant for mobile energy generation, storage, and electric propulsion, with performance at Van Nuys, California and ultimate completion in October 2027; a Phase I SBIR contract from the Army valued at $250 thousand awarded in October 2024 for hydrogen fuel cell research and development, with April 2025 completion; a Phase I SBIR contract from the Marine Corps valued at $175 thousand awarded in January 2024 for hydrogen fuel cell technology development for aviation and mobile energy storage, with April 2025 completion; and an Other Transaction Agreement from the Air Force Research Laboratory valued at $750 thousand awarded in April 2022 for a modular hydrogen fuel cell power plant. Work is performed at the vendor's Van Nuys manufacturing facility. All contracts except the Air Force OTA fall under total small business set-asides; the Air Force award carries no set-aside designation.
Activity is sparse but recently accelerated — one award in 2020, one in 2022, two in 2024, and one in 2026. One award (the $1.9 million Army definitive contract) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete. The vendor's portfolio is anchored entirely in applied research and experimental development for defense energy systems, with no civilian agency exposure or subcontractor relationships in the source data.
