The Claremont Sales Corp

The Claremont Sales Corp, a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Durham, Connecticut, manufactures thermal and acoustic insulation products for federal agencies as a prime contractor on a small-business-dominant footprint, competing predominantly through total small business set-asides on Navy procurement and full-and-open competition with the General Services Administration.

The vendor's concrete capability centers on military-specification insulation materials: thermal insulation sleeving meeting MIL-DTL-24688 and MIL-I-2781F; sound controlling blankets conforming to NAVSEA specification PPD-802-6335737; acoustic barrier materials and fire-resistant insulation sheets meeting MIL-DTL-24688; fiberglass cloth, gaskets, and ferrules; and insulation felt, board, and pipe fittings. Representative awards include a $49,250 total small business set-aside purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command in May 2025 for sound controlling blankets and submarine hull insulation (Solimide CC306 polyimide foam, NSN 5640-01-454-8837) for delivery to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii; a $56,125 small business set-aside with NAVSEA in December 2024 for fire-resistant insulation materials on brand-name basis; and a $24,795 full-and-open GSA Federal Acquisition Service delivery order in June 2025 for 36-inch thermal insulation sleeving per MIL-I-2781F. Work is performed at the company's Durham, Connecticut facility.

Customer concentration skews heavily toward Navy commands. The top five customer agencies account for 72 percent of recent award count. Naval Sea Systems Command leads in sheer volume (4,171 awards, $10.8 million combined potential value), while Naval Supply Systems Command anchors the largest dollar value (906 awards, $17.2 million), reflecting the vendor's $13.2 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with NAVSUP established November 2024 covering Federal Supply Class 5640 insulation products through March 2026. GSA Federal Acquisition Service places the third-largest customer by volume (2,580 awards, $4.6 million), with the vendor holding position on GSA's Multiple Award Schedule and several task order BPAs. United States Pacific Fleet Forces and United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) round out the active set at $1 million and $288 thousand respectively.

The vendor sits on the Multiple Award Schedule (5,179 task orders, $9.3 million combined potential value) and three named Blanket Purchase Agreements: the $13.2 million NAVSUP BPA (awarded November 2024, ultimate completion March 2026); a $250,000 GSA Federal Acquisition Service BPA for thermal insulation sleeving per MIL-DTL-24688 Type III Class 2; and the Buildings and Building Materials vehicle (4,063 task orders, $5.6 million combined potential value), which appears to be a GSA supply schedule category. The Claremont Sales Corp also holds position on Blanket Purchase Agreements GS07FMCLAR and GS07FQPOLY, though specific dollar values for those vehicles are not stated in the source.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years — 412 awards in 2022, peaking at 641 in 2023, then dropping to 81 in 2024 and 79 in 2025, with only 6 awards recorded in the first three months of 2026. The 13,265-award total reflects a long operational history (first award in source data dated February 1998), but the source's award footprint snapshot covers primarily purchase orders and small deliveries rather than large prime contracts. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $69.8 million with $27.8 million obligated (40 percent). No federal grant work, no subcontractor position, and no named teaming relationships appear in the source.

The NAICS and PSC profile confirm commodity-driven positioning: top NAICS categories are All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (4,140 awards) and Abrasive Product Manufacturing (3,821 awards); top PSC is Wallboard, Building Paper, and Thermal Insulation Materials (6,538 awards). The vendor's set-aside posture recurs as total small business across Navy work and full-and-open across GSA, reflecting a small business profile competing effectively on military specifications and established GSA schedule vehicles.
