About the company
The Lee Co, a for-profit precision manufacturer based in Westbrook, Connecticut, supplies fluid control components — check valves, solenoid valves, flow regulators, and manifold assemblies — to federal agencies as a prime contractor on purchase orders and as a subcontractor to major aerospace and defense primes. The vendor competes on full-and-open merit and carries no SBA set-aside designations across its footprint.
The Lee Co's prime award portfolio reflects a narrow but specialized niche: fluid control components for naval, aerospace, and civilian scientific applications. Recent prime work includes a $34.4 million sole-source purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center (December 2024) for solenoid valves and two-way manifolds supporting spacecraft servicing testing at Kennedy Space Center; a $24.5 million sole-source NOAA award (September 2024) for valve block manifolds compatible with the Moored Autonomous pCO2 system for ocean carbon measurement; an $31.9 million Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order (April 2026) for eighty check valves compliant with aerospace material specifications; and an $18.9 million NOAA order (August 2026) for additional valve block manifolds. NASA and NOAA have justified sole-source awards citing The Lee Co as the only qualified provider of these specialized components.
Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Defense Logistics Agency and Naval supply channels. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 311 awards with $6.1 million in combined potential value (42% of the topline); the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation adds 45 awards for $1 million. Naval Sea Systems Command (59 awards, $429 thousand) and Naval Supply Systems Command (48 awards, $190 thousand) round out the top tier, collectively representing 78% of all recent awards. The portfolio spans thirty distinct federal agencies, but dollars cluster in DLA and Naval supply workflows rather than prime agency spend. Awards are predominantly purchase orders under Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Blanket Purchase Agreements; the vendor places task orders under IDC 70Z03824DJ0000009 (9 task orders) and BPA GS06F1LECM (6 task orders), among others.
Activity has grown materially over the past three years — from 1 award in 2022 to 19 in 2024 and 17 in 2025 — though the first half of 2026 shows only 8 awards to date. The combined obligated value ($22.2 million) exceeds combined potential value ($9.4 million) by 235%, a pattern consistent with frequent reorders on standing vehicles. Only two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $33 thousand), indicating minimal recompete pressure in that window.
In its subcontractor role, The Lee Co supplies linear direct-acting valves, check valves, and flow control components to Moog Military Aircraft (overhaul of servocylinders and roll trim assemblies for USCG MH-60T helicopters), Sargent Aerospace & Defense, Honeywell International, General Dynamics Land Systems (IM-SHORAD and Stryker production), Bell Boeing Joint Project Office (CMV-22 and V-22 osprey), Lockheed Martin, Electric Boat Corporation (SSN 804 submarine construction), and Boeing. The vendor's sub footprint is weighted toward fluid control subcomponents in rotorcraft, fixed-wing aircraft, submarine, and ground vehicle programs. NAICS concentration aligns with hardware output: Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (146 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (78 awards), and Industrial Valve Manufacturing (72 awards) dominate the category split, with PSC codes centered on Valves, Nonpowered (193 awards) and Hose, Pipe, Tube, and Railing Fittings (322 awards).
