Robeck Fluid Power CO.

Robeck Fluid Power Co., a for-profit manufacturer of fluid power components and industrial parts headquartered in Aurora, Ohio, operates as a prime contractor supplying nonmetallic hose assemblies, hydraulic valves, coupling halves, filter elements, pumps, and related mechanical equipment to the Defense Logistics Agency across multiple divisions. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open (no set-aside posture across the prime footprint), though it has received a handful of Total Small Business set-aside awards from DLA Land and Maritime.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme and singular. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 3,401 awards (99% of all awards in the source) with $33.4 million in combined potential value, dwarfing secondary customers. DLA Aviation has placed 590 awards worth $2.5 million, and DLA Troop Support Hardware has placed 670 awards worth only $368 thousand. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal represents the only non-DLA customer of material consequence, with two awards (a $579.2 thousand definitive contract for piston pumps awarded May 23, 2025 by Army Combined Arms Center Warren, and a $1.2 million item in the portfolio). Across the full stack, 10 distinct federal agencies appear, but DLA Land and Maritime's dominance is categorical—the division alone represents 87% of all potential value.

Robeck sits on six single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each carrying a $250 thousand ceiling and a one-year performance period. Recent awards include IDCs for disk brake shoes (awarded March 24, 2026, $350 thousand ceiling), cylinder assemblies (September 26, 2025, $250 thousand, Total Small Business set-aside), filter elements (June 27, 2025, $250 thousand, Total Small Business set-aside), nonmetallic hoses (March 20, 2025, $250 thousand, Total Small Business set-aside), nonmetallic hose assemblies (February 20, 2025, $250 thousand), nonmetallic hose assemblies (January 3, 2025, $250 thousand), and nonmetallic hoses (December 30, 2024, $250 thousand). Task orders are issued monthly or quarterly under these vehicles against specific National Stock Numbers for fluid power components. Representative task-order work includes a $5.6 thousand delivery order for nonmetallic hose assemblies (January 8, 2026), a $13.4 thousand delivery order for filter elements under a Total Small Business set-aside (October 23, 2025), and a $54.2 thousand air clutch element (June 16, 2025).

Activity has declined modestly year over year: 278 awards in 2022, 251 in 2023, 240 in 2024, and 215 in 2025. Year-to-date 2026 shows only 37 awards (snapshot as of April 9, 2026), indicating a seasonally typical pace. The combined potential value of awards with ultimate completion dates in the next 24 months stands at $219 thousand—a minimal recompete cliff relative to the vendor's $38.7 million total portfolio, suggesting most current work extends beyond the 24-month window or has already been obligated.

Robeck's product footprint skews heavily toward fluid power component manufacturing: the top five NAICS categories span Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (582 awards), Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (567 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (379 awards), Industrial Valve Manufacturing (338 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (237 awards). The top PSC codes reflect the same pattern—Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication, and Railing Fittings (920 awards), Hose and Flexible Tubing (535 awards), and Valves, Nonpowered (425 awards). Performance is concentrated at the Aurora facility; all named awards cite Aurora, Ohio as place of performance. The vendor has maintained continuous SAM.gov registration since January 2000 and has generated $18.8 million in obligated dollars against the $38.7 million potential value (49% obligation rate), indicating that many smaller purchase orders remain task orders awaiting order under IDC vehicles rather than fully executed contracts.
