Milwaukee Valve Company, LLC

Milwaukee Valve Company, LLC, doing business as Hammond, manufactures and supplies industrial valves and valve-related components to the Defense Logistics Agency and Naval Supply Systems Command as a prime contractor on full-and-open, competitive purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts carrying no small business set-asides. The vendor is a subsidiary of Nibco Inc. and operates from New Berlin and Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin.

The vendor's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in transactional, firm fixed-price valve procurement. Recent awards span gate valves, globe valves, check valves, stop-check valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, Y-valves, angle valves, STEM fluid valves, disk valves, and related components such as gaskets, packing, seats, stems, and protective dust caps. Representative prime awards include a $600 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime on April 15, 2026, for 858 gate valve units (NSN 4820015695855) with delivery to DLA Distribution facility W1A8 within 400 days; a $214.9 million firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime on April 27, 2026, for 266 gate valves (NSN 4820011217860) with three-day delivery; and a $185 thousand delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime on May 21, 2026, for gate valves under a parent indefinite delivery contract. The vendor also holds two single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime for protective dust caps (NSN 5340008373711) valued at $250 thousand (awarded December 13, 2024, with three delivery orders issued through November 2025) and $350 thousand (awarded December 1, 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The top two funding agencies account for approximately 95% of awards by count: Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime controls 8,656 awards worth $147.3 million combined potential value, and Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command controls 1,165 awards worth $66.1 million. The remaining customer base—Defense Logistics Agency (core), DLA Troop Support, DLA Aviation, and DLA Construction and Equipment—account for fewer than 750 combined awards and less than $5 million in combined potential value. The vendor competes exclusively full-and-open; no set-aside awards appear in the source.

Activity has declined year over year. The vendor received 915 awards in 2022, 817 in 2023, 793 in 2024, and 577 in 2025, with only 206 awards recorded through July 16, 2026. Combined potential value stands at $229.7 million across 11,683 total awards (prime and sub), with $191.7 million obligated. The vendor faces a recompete exposure of $10.9 million in awards with ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

The vendor operates almost exclusively as a prime (99% of awards by count). In its subcontractor role, Milwaukee Valve supplies valve assemblies and components to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated on naval shipbuilding programs including the LPD 30 and CVN 80 amphibious and carrier construction efforts, as well as DDG 51 destroyer construction (awards dated July 2025, September 2025, November 2025, and January 2026).

Capability concentration by NAICS and PSC reflects pure valve manufacturing and supply. Industrial Valve Manufacturing (NAICS 332911) dominates, accounting for 6,959 of the 11,683 awards. Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (NAICS 332912) accounts for 990 awards, and Carburetor, Piston, Piston Ring, and Valve Manufacturing accounts for 739. Top PSC codes are Valves, Nonpowered (10,028 awards) and Packing and Gasket Materials (428 awards). The vendor does not diversify into IT services, logistics management, engineering, or other federal contracting domains—the award portfolio is strictly tactical component supply to defense inventory and naval shipbuilding programs.

The parent vehicle landscape is dominated by low-value blanket purchase agreements and single-award indefinite delivery contracts tied to DLA Land and Maritime and Navy supply cycles. The top vehicles by task-order count are Blanket Purchase Agreement N0010416A7000 (390 task orders, $4.8 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract SPRMM109DP005 (288 task orders, $3.4 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM7MX07D7508 (230 task orders, $3.2 million), Blanket Purchase Agreement N0010421AVZ01 (219 task orders, $3.3 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7MX20D0101 (207 task orders, $3.5 million). These are routine inventory-replenishment vehicles; the vendor does not hold seats on GWACs, government-wide IDIQs, or GSA Schedules.

Milwaukee Valve operates as a dependent-subsidiary supplier within a narrow, mature procurement market. The company's 50-year history as a Navy and DLA supplier anchors a stable but declining transactional revenue stream centered on gate and globe valve production. Competitive positioning rests entirely on cost, delivery speed, and compliance with military specifications (MIL-SPEC and commercial-item standards); the award data show no evidence of sole-source work, cost-plus structures, or programs requiring advanced engineering or integration services. The recompete cliff of $10.9 million in the next twenty-four months, combined with year-over-year award volume decline, signals maturation and potential consolidation risk at the component-supply tier.
