Staver Hydraulics Co., Inc.

Staver Hydraulics Co., Inc., doing business as Lehigh Gasket, a small, for-profit Pennsylvania corporation based in Sayre, manufactures and supplies hydraulic components and fittings to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing in full-and-open procurements without SBA set-aside designation on the majority of awards (99% of the footprint is prime work; 1% is subcontract). The vendor competes for Total Small Business set-asides on select indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency.

Staver Hydraulics' capability portfolio centers on fabricated pipe and pipe fittings, rubber and plastics hoses and belting, and metal valve and pipe fittings—commodities central to hydraulic systems for military aircraft, land vehicles, and maritime vessels. The vendor's NAICS concentration reflects this product mix: 2,134 awards in Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing, 1,639 in Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing, and 1,122 in Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing. Representative work includes a $46,609 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (December 15, 2025) for 1,323 units of nonmetallic hose assemblies; a $13,200 Total Small Business set-aside order for gasket components (February 25, 2026); and a $17,335 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order for tube nipples (March 10, 2026). The vendor also holds three single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each capped at $350,000 and designated Total Small Business set-asides, awarded in February, March, and March 2026 for nonmetallic hose assemblies, pipe-to-tube elbows, and O-rings respectively.

Customer concentration is severe and monolithic: DLA Land and Maritime dominates both volume and dollars, accounting for 6,390 of 7,933 total awards (99% coverage by count) and $24.9 million of $27.3 million combined potential value. DLA Aviation places 1,255 awards valued at $1.6 million. All other federal customers—the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and smaller DLA commodity centers—aggregate to fewer than 300 awards and represent less than 2% of dollars. The vendor serves 13 distinct agencies; the concentration with DLA's Land and Maritime and Aviation divisions is non-negotiable to the business model.

Activity has remained steady at 700+ awards annually from 2022 through 2024 (763, 798, and 848 per year) before softening to 662 in 2025 and 150 year-to-date in 2026 — a trajectory consistent with seasonal procurement patterns within DLA but requiring monitoring for demand shifts. Two awards totaling $23,000 in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months; recompete exposure is minimal in absolute terms but the volume of small individual purchase orders typical to this vendor's footprint means continuous replenishment procurement flows.

Staver Hydraulics subcontracts to BAE Systems Land and Armaments L.P. on Bradley vehicle production and related programs, supplying material for ignitible gas filtration and canister production efforts as well as M2A4 and M7A4 vehicle assembly work (awards dated December 5, 2025; December 10, 2025; January 27, 2026; April 29, 2026; and May 1, 2026). The subcontract footprint is minimal relative to the prime business and represents specialized niche demand rather than strategic partnership.

Place of performance is Sayre, Pennsylvania, with delivery to DLA consolidation and containerization points across the continental United States and overseas locations. The vendor's PSC profile reflects commodity specificity: 4,397 awards in Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication, and Railing Fittings; 2,535 in Hose and Flexible Tubing; and 422 in O-Ring procurement. Award dollar values cluster at the low end — hundreds to low thousands per order — reflecting the component-level granularity of military logistics procurement. Combined potential value of $27.3 million across 7,933 awards yields a median award size in the low hundreds of dollars, characteristic of a supplier feeding into DLA's vast catalog of on-demand hydraulic components rather than competing for systems integration or large-scale production contracts.
