Wagner Hydraulic Equipment Company, Inc.

Wagner Hydraulic Equipment Company, Inc., a Los Angeles-based small business, supplies hydraulic and mechanical components including rotary pumps, strainers, gaskets, bearings, bushings, couplings, and seals to the Defense Logistics Agency and U.S. Coast Guard as a prime contractor on purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts under small business set-asides. The company competes 100% as a prime; the source reports zero subcontract activity.

Wagner operates almost exclusively within the Department of Defense's defense logistics ecosystem. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 485 awards ($8.2 million in combined potential value) and dominates the customer base — 96% of awards by count pass through the top five customer agencies, with DLA Land and Maritime and U.S. Coast Guard together representing 555 of 670 total awards. The Coast Guard placed 70 awards valued at $4.4 million, primarily for strainer elements and sediment strainers supporting Fast Response Cutter vessel maintenance. DLA Aviation (34 awards, $115 thousand) and DLA Troop Support divisions round out the active customer set. This customer concentration is extraordinarily tight; the top two agencies anchor 87% of the award count and essentially all of the potential value at stake.

Wagner holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime. The current IDC, awarded March 11, 2025, carries a $250,000 ceiling through March 11, 2026, and is designated as a total small business set-aside for rotary pumps and related hydraulic components (NSN 4320015198312) with an estimated nine orders per year and a 30-unit minimum order guarantee. The prior IDC, awarded December 13, 2021, and completed December 13, 2022, was also a $250,000 total small business set-aside for gasket items. The company generates delivery orders against these vehicles and also wins individual purchase orders outside any parent contract. Representative recent work includes a $62,934.52 delivery order for rotary pumps (January 8, 2026, DLA Land and Maritime), a $26,598 purchase order for sediment strainers to U.S. Coast Guard (April 12, 2023), and a $33,251.49 purchase order for fuel meters to DLA Aviation (July 28, 2023). All three carried small business set-aside designations.

Activity accelerated sharply from 2022 (41 awards) through 2024 (23 awards), then moderated to 21 awards in 2025 and 4 to date in 2026 — this is a snapshot view only and does not signal recompete urgency given the three-month lag in source data. The majority of Wagner's awards are under-$50,000 purchase orders, with ceiling values ranging from under one hundred dollars to approximately $143,497. Award pace and volume suggest Wagner operates as a routine call-off vendor on DLA depots' standing requirements for consumable hydraulic parts rather than as a platform for large-value programs. Place of performance is consistently Los Angeles, California, with shipments to DLA depots worldwide (CONUS and OCONUS locations).

Wagner's product portfolio clusters in fabricated pipe and pipe fitting manufacturing (229 awards, per NAICS concentration), general purpose machinery manufacturing, gasket and sealing device manufacturing, and pump and pumping equipment manufacturing. The top PSC categories are hose, pipe, tube, lubrication and railing fittings (398 awards) and power and hand pumps (83 awards), reflecting the tactical focus on depot-level hydraulic component supply. SAM.gov registration dates to 2003; the vendor has maintained consistent DLA vendor status for over two decades, with a contracting history shaped by small business set-asides and routine supply orders rather than strategic primes or defense integrator positioning.
