Rocky Mountain Hydrostatics, LLC

Rocky Mountain Hydrostatics, LLC is a small-business manufacturer of hydraulic systems and components for naval ship repair and maintenance, operating as a prime contractor (86% of recent awards) on Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Supply Systems Command purchase orders, and as a subcontractor to major shipyard primes including HII Fleet Support Group, BAE Systems Maritime Solutions, Metro Machine Corp., Vigor Marine LLC, and East Coast Repair & Fabrication LLC. The company is a subsidiary of Heico Aerospace Corp, a publicly traded aerospace and defense manufacturer headquartered in Hollywood, Florida. Rocky Mountain Hydrostatics maintains manufacturing facilities in Henderson and Brighton, Colorado, and competes predominantly under full-and-open procurement, with recurring small-business set-aside designations in its earlier award history.

Rocky Mountain Hydrostatics' core capability portfolio centers on design, manufacturing, repair, and testing of axial piston pumps, hydraulic brake assemblies, shaft couplings, steering gear components, and anchor windlass systems for naval maritime applications. Representative prime work includes a $431.8 thousand firm fixed-price order from Naval Supply Systems Command for axial piston pump supply awarded September 29, 2025; a $1.96 million repair-and-modification order for pump and valve assembly sets from Naval Supply Systems Command awarded August 3, 2022; and a $225.9 thousand anchor windlass service order from Naval Sea Systems Command awarded August 14, 2023. Repair work extends to urgent ship-readiness requirements: a $47.2 thousand emergency repair of leaking cylinder packing and seals on USS Nimitz's main steering ram, awarded January 30, 2026 with completion required by February 20, 2026. The company also holds a HUBZone set-aside award from Naval Sea Systems Command for overspeed shutoff valve spring testing and adjustment valued at $59.5 thousand, awarded February 2, 2026.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of the Navy. Naval Sea Systems Command leads both by award count and dollar value: 79 awards carrying $13.3 million in combined potential value (46% of total portfolio value). Naval Supply Systems Command holds 45 awards worth $7.7 million (26% of portfolio value). The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime ranks third by award count (50 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value), while Naval Military Sealift Command anchors $4.7 million across six awards. The top five customer entities cover 87% of awards and account for 94% of combined potential value — a concentration pattern driven almost entirely by Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Supply Systems Command. The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard represents the only meaningful non-Navy customer, with 14 awards valued at $649 thousand.

Recent activity reflects sustained demand: Rocky Mountain Hydrostatics received 12 awards in 2022, dropped to 6 in 2023, then recovered to 15 awards in 2024 and 15 again in 2025. Four awards have been issued year-to-date in 2026. The combined potential value across all 226 awards in the source dataset is $29.1 million, though combined dollars obligated have reached $36.1 million (124% of combined potential value), indicating either award growth or exercise of options beyond initial ceiling values. No recompete-cliff information is provided in the source data.

On the subcontractor side, Rocky Mountain Hydrostatics subcontracts primarily to large Navy ship repair and maintenance primes. HII Fleet Support Group LLC accounts for the highest volume of named sub awards, including steering, anchor windlass, and boat davit repair support under CEMAT (Complex Entity Maintenance) codes aboard carriers and amphibious platforms. BAE Systems Maritime Solutions (both Norfolk and San Diego) places recurring sub orders for direct subcontract cost growth work aboard ships including USS Essex (LHD-2), USS Kearsarge (LHD-3), USS Oakland (LCS-24), and USS LABOON (DDG-58). Vigor Marine LLC and East Coast Repair & Fabrication LLC route steering pump modifications, HPU pump installations, and turnkey hydraulic repairs through Rocky Mountain Hydrostatics. Metro Machine Corp. engages the company on CVN (carrier) class maintenance and availability work. The prime-vs-sub split of 86% prime to 14% sub, combined with the density of named sub-awards to shipyard primes, indicates Rocky Mountain Hydrostatics operates as a dual-track supplier: directly to Navy supply and systems commands for component manufacture and stock, and as a specialized hydraulic repair subcontractor to major shipyards conducting fleet maintenance availabilities.

NAICS concentration reinforces the hydraulic-systems manufacturing and ship-repair focus: 73 awards fall under Pump and Pumping Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 333911), 49 under Ship Building and Repairing (NAICS 336611), and 24 under Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing (NAICS 333913). The leading PSC code is Power and Hand Pumps (106 awards), followed by Ship and Marine Equipment maintenance/repair/rebuild (13 awards) and Powered Valves (8 awards). Service Contract Inventory reporting is minimal — only one SCI record appears in the source, reporting 1.6 FTEs in FY2022 as a named subcontractor — reflecting that Rocky Mountain Hydrostatics' federal revenue is dominated by goods procurement (pumps, valves, assemblies) and product repair services reported as supply contracts rather than labor-reportable service contracts.
