Remote Controls Inc.

Remote Controls Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in Mishawaka, Indiana, manufactures industrial valves, check valves, pilot valves, flow control valves, drain cocks, and valve parts kits for the Defense Logistics Agency and Army materiel commands as a small business prime contractor (100% of awards). The company competes across a mix of total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements, with roughly 46% of recent awards designated as total small business set-asides. Remote Controls operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract relationships and also provides metal finishing services (chemical film, anodizing, electroplating) to naval commands.

Customer concentration is heavily concentrated in defense logistics and Army procurement. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 154 awards (roughly $7.2 million combined potential value) and represents the vendor's dominant customer by award count. By potential value, the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal leads with 16 awards totaling $25 million, followed by DLA Land and Maritime's $7.2 million across 154 awards and the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command's 5 awards for $7 million. The gap between the two rankings reflects DLA's high-volume, lower-dollar transactional ordering model versus Army Redstone Arsenal's fewer but larger procurements. Additional customers include Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (13 awards, $562 thousand), the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (6 awards, $425 thousand), and Naval Sea Systems Command, spanning nine distinct customer agencies across 91% of recent awards.

Recent representative work includes a $316,813 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in March 2025 for 440 flow control valves (NSN 4820002566642); a $130,660 firm fixed-price purchase order from the same division in February 2026 for 180 flow control valves; a $72,553 total small business set-aside for 52 pilot valves (NSN 4210010578478) from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment in April 2025; and a $60,000 total small business set-aside delivery order from Naval Air Systems Command in December 2022 for metal finishing services at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Remote Controls also holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, including a single-award IDV valued at $250,000 with a one-year term ending May 4, 2027, and previously held a $2,166,507 single-award IDV that ran through February 2024.

Primary parent vehicles are DLA and Army indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements. The top vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM7MX09D7043 (26 task orders, $473 thousand combined potential value), followed by Blanket Purchase Agreement W911N213A0013 with Army Materiel Command Redstone Arsenal (15 task orders, $12 thousand combined potential value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7MX21D0075 (11 task orders, $476 thousand combined potential value). Awards are categorized primarily under NAICS 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), which accounts for 86 awards, with secondary exposure in electroplating and plating work (28 awards under NAICS 332813). PSC coding reflects 180 awards under PSC 48 (Valves, Nonpowered) and 16 awards for maintenance and repair of weapons systems equipment.

Activity has remained steady with 17 awards in 2022, declining to 10 in 2023, recovering to 13 in 2024, then declining again to 10 in 2025 and 5 in 2026 year-to-date. The recompete cliff presents minimal risk, with only one award (combined potential value $32 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The source notes Remote Controls has held federal contracts since SAM.gov registration in 2001 and operates with no subcontract footprint, delivering all work in-house from its Mishawaka facility or at designated military depots and distribution centers across the continental and outside the continental United States.
