Remote Controls Inc.

Remote Controls Inc., a small business manufacturer of industrial valves and metal finishing services based in Mishawaka, Indiana, operates exclusively as a prime contractor supplying flow control valves, check valves, pilot valves, drain cocks, and valve parts kits to the Department of Defense and Army procurement commands. The company competes across a mix of total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements, with recent awards split roughly 50/50 between set-aside and non-set-aside designations.

Remote Controls' customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense logistics. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominates by award count (152 awards, $7 million combined potential value), accounting for 66% of recent prime awards. However, the top customer by total potential value is the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal (16 awards, $25 million combined potential value), representing 62% of the company's total pipeline dollar value. The Department of the Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command ranks second in dollars ($7 million across 5 awards). The split between high-volume, lower-dollar DLA work and lower-volume, higher-dollar Army work reflects Remote Controls' dual posture as both a frequent DLA supplier and a major systems-support vendor to Army ammunition and ground systems programs.

Remote Controls' capability portfolio centers on valve manufacturing under primary NAICS codes 332912 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), 332813 (Electroplating, Plating, Polishing, Anodizing, and Coloring), and 332913 (Plumbing Fixture Fitting and Trim Manufacturing). The company supplies nonpowered valves (178 awards) primarily to support military depot logistics and equipment maintenance. 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; a $130,660 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime in February 2026 for 180 flow control valves; and a $25 million Army Redstone Arsenal contract portfolio spanning ammunition and ordnance production support. Remote Controls also performs metal finishing and chemical film anodizing services; a $60,000 total small business set-aside contract with Naval Air Systems Command at Whidbey Island (awarded December 2022, running through June 2025) exemplifies this secondary capability stream.

The company places task orders under two primary Army indefinite delivery vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM7MX09D7043 (26 task orders, $473 thousand combined potential value) and Blanket Purchase Agreement W911N213A0013 (15 task orders, $12 thousand combined potential value). DLA Land and Maritime work flows primarily through discrete purchase orders and delivery orders rather than standing IDVs, though the source material references three DLA IDVs valued up to $2.17 million for valve components.

Activity has declined materially in recent years. Remote Controls received 17 awards in 2022, declining to 10 in 2023, 13 in 2024, 10 in 2025, and 1 recorded award in 2026 (as of February). Across 231 total prime awards in the source data, combined potential value reaches $40.1 million, with only $6.3 million obligated (16% realization rate), indicating a portfolio heavy with unexercised options and delivery orders under IDVs. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime with no subcontract footprint, positioning it as a component supplier rather than a systems integrator or teaming partner.
