Leslie Controls, Inc.

Leslie Controls, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Tampa, Florida, operates as a prime contractor supplying precision valve and mechanical components to the Department of Defense and federal logistics agencies through firm fixed-price purchase orders, with 94% of recent awards at the prime level and nearly all work performed at its Temple Terrace, Florida facility. The company competes in full and open federal procurement with no set-aside designations across its footprint.

Leslie Controls manufactures industrial valves, fluid power components, gaskets, seals, springs, and related mechanical assemblies for naval and defense infrastructure applications. The company's concrete federal work includes supplying safety relief valves (multiple awards from $41 thousand to $999 thousand), regulating and control valves, solenoid valves, butterfly valves, globe valves, hydraulic actuators, valve seats, springs, packing assemblies, and fastener components to DLA Land and Maritime and the Navy's supply and maintenance commands. Recent named examples: a $999.9 thousand purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for safety relief valves awarded January 26, 2026; a $994.8 thousand award for regulating valves (NSN 4820014232930) from DLA Land and Maritime on December 16, 2025; a $985.3 thousand order for 21 units of safety relief valve assemblies from DLA Land and Maritime on December 23, 2025; and a $901.3 thousand award for flow control valves from DLA Land and Maritime on January 26, 2026.

Customer concentration is tightly anchored to defense logistics and Navy supply operations. The top five agencies account for 81% of award count across the portfolio. DLA Land and Maritime dominates by both volume and dollars: 1,190 awards (36% of all awards) with $79.5 million combined potential value. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command follows with 386 awards totaling $25.5 million. DLA Aviation placed 135 awards worth $6.6 million. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard placed 35 awards valued at $1.3 million. The Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command delivered 224 awards with $729 thousand combined potential value. The dollar ranking tracks volume concentration closely—no single agency order-book divergence pattern emerges.

Leslie Controls operates primarily through discrete purchase orders on two standing Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime: IDC SPE7M225D0001, a single-award contract with a $250 thousand ceiling that ran through October 1, 2025 (focused on flat springs), which generated numerous task orders; and two additional top parent vehicles—IDC SP070000D9727 with 160 task orders and IDC SPM70000D9727 with 60 task orders—indicating the vendor sustains multiple procurement frameworks with the same customer. Basic Ordering Agreements DLA70082G0014, DLA70073G0018, and DLA70085G0029 also support ongoing orders with 30, 19, and 19 task orders respectively.

Activity has accelerated substantially: three awards in 2022 grew to 42 in 2023, 268 in 2024, and 665 in 2025, with 95 awards placed through mid-April 2026. The recompete cliff presents material exposure: 821 awards totaling $89.4 million in combined potential value are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing 77% of the vendor's current total potential value footprint and signaling significant recompete opportunity across DLA and Navy customers.

Leslie Controls holds a substantial subcontractor footprint serving Huntington Ingalls Incorporated and Electric Boat Corporation on major naval construction programs, including work on DDG 51-class destroyers (DDG 125, DDG 128, DDG 129, DDG 131, DDG 133, DDG 135, DDG 137, DDG 139, DDG 141, DDG 143, DDG 145, DDG 146, DDG 147, DDG 149), Amphibious Transport Dock (LPD) class vessels (LPD 19, LPD 21, LPD 29), LHA 9 (amphibious assault ship), and CVN 80–81 (carrier) construction. Sub-award descriptions reference control valves, reducing valves, solenoid valves, and valve-related components for ship construction, advanced planning, and recapitalization overhaul (RCOH) work.

The vendor's award portfolio concentrates heavily in valve manufacturing NAICS codes: Industrial Valve Manufacturing (NAICS 332911) accounts for 687 awards; Fluid Power Valve and Hose Fitting Manufacturing (332912) for 239 awards; and Carburetor, Piston, Piston Ring, and Valve Manufacturing (332913) for 224 awards. Ship Building and Repairing (336611) underlies 186 awards tied to Huntington Ingalls and Electric Boat subcontract work. Product Service Code concentration follows: Valves, Nonpowered (PSC 4820) dominates with 1,866 awards; Valves, Powered (PSC 4810) accounts for 218 awards; Packing and Gasket Materials (PSC 5330) for 125 awards; and springs and fasteners rounding out the portfolio.

Leslie Controls has shipped components to DLA distribution centers nationwide (San Diego, San Joaquin, Tracy, W1A8 facility designations appear throughout the award history), demonstrating operational capability to serve geographically dispersed military logistics nodes. The firm fixed-price, open-competition posture across all named awards reflects a vendor positioned to compete on price and performance in unrestricted federal procurement, with no reliance on small business set-asides. The $115.5 million combined potential value ($287.1 million in obligated funds—indicating prior invoicing across the portfolio—across 3,249 awards) and 28 named customer agencies signal an established defense supplier with deep integration into Navy ship construction and maintenance supply chains.
