Military Petroleum And Water Systems Inc.

Military Petroleum And Water Systems Inc., doing business as Milpaws, manufactures and supplies specialized petroleum and water system components — hose assemblies, tarpaulins, cable assembly covers, flanges, adapters, valves, and mechanical fittings — to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on 100% of its recent federal awards. Milpaws is an SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, and competes predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-asides, though roughly 8% of recent awards carry total small business or women-owned small business set-aside designations.

The vendor's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) components, particularly DLA Land and Maritime, which accounts for 362 awards (71% of the award count) but only $8.1 million in combined potential value — a concentration pattern that reveals the true customer by dollar value. The Marine Corps is the dominant customer by potential value, with 22 awards valued at $842.3 million combined, representing 98% of Milpaws' total potential value pipeline. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment ranks third by dollars ($2.6 million across 26 awards), and DLA Aviation represents a third major DLA component with 41 awards worth $323 thousand. The stark divergence between the top-customers-by-count and top-customers-by-potential-value rankings signals that Milpaws operates in two distinct markets within DoD: a high-volume, low-dollar-value repetitive-supply relationship with DLA Land and Maritime (average award under $25 thousand per order) and a much smaller but revenue-dominant Marine Corps vehicle carrying multi-hundred-million-dollar potential.

Milpaws seats on at least five IDIQs, led by Indefinite Delivery Contract M6785412D5065 with 19 task orders valued at $36.6 million combined potential value, followed by SPM7M409D5A02 (10 task orders, $39 thousand). The IDC portfolio includes smaller vehicles with three to ten task orders each. The vendor's 511 total awards span 511 distinct transactions over the past two decades, but activity has decelerated markedly: 20 awards in 2022, 25 in 2023, 22 in 2024, 14 in 2025, and only 3 through March 2026 year-to-date — a trajectory that reflects the shift from frequent small DLA Land and Maritime replenishment orders to occasional larger Marine Corps contracts. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $854.9 million, though only $47.8 million (6% of potential value) has been obligated to date, indicating the Marine Corps awards remain largely exercisable but not yet funded.

Capability concentration aligns tightly with DLA Land and Maritime's commodity hierarchy. The top five NAICS categories are Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (173 awards), Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing (54 awards), Power Distribution Transformer Manufacturing (30 awards), Motor Vehicle Seating and Interior Trim Manufacturing (28 awards), and Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Products (26 awards). The PSC coding mirrors this: 253 awards fall under Hose, Pipe, Tube, and Railing Fittings, 59 under Hose and Flexible Tubing, and smaller volumes in electric power equipment and vehicular trim. Representative DLA Land and Maritime awards include a $604.4 thousand total small business set-aside for nonmetallic hose assemblies (April 2023), a $1.33 million definitive contract for nonmetallic hoses awarded August 2024, and a $1.015 million definitive contract for reel assemblies awarded March 2022 through DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment. A $123.2 thousand total small business set-aside tee assembly order (October 2024) and a $97.7 thousand hose assembly contract for Jacksonville distribution (September 2023) are representative of mid-five-figure awards that characterize the bulk of Milpaws' prime portfolio. The Marine Corps IDC work is concentrated but not detailed in the enumerated award list, suggesting the vendor's recompete risk and growth opportunity lie primarily in exercising and renewing that vehicle rather than capturing incremental DLA orders.
