Waterbury Plumbing & Heating Supply, Inc.

Waterbury Plumbing & Heating Supply, Inc., doing business as Waterbury Plumbing & Heating, is a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Waterbury, Connecticut, that supplies plumbing fixtures, heating equipment, and related industrial components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing predominantly on full-and-open purchase orders rather than set-aside vehicles, though approximately 40 percent of its recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations.

The company is a Subchapter S Corporation registered in the System for Award Management since August 2001, with a self-certified small disadvantaged business status and valid registration through December 2026. Waterbury Plumbing & Heating operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no identified subcontractors, delivering products directly to federal facilities.

Waterbury Plumbing & Heating's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in standardized plumbing and heating procurement. The company supplies flush valves, shower heads, water closet bowls, mixing valves, faucets, heating elements, water heaters, eye wash fountains, and related repair kits and parts kits—all low-complexity, off-the-shelf components supporting military facility maintenance. Representative recent awards include a $139.8 million purchase order from Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support for 13 water closet bowls (September 2024), a $136.1 million order for 390 flush valve units under Total Small Business set-aside (August 2024), a $114.8 million heating element procurement under Total Small Business set-aside (November 2024), and a $99.7 million water closet bowl order from DLA Troop Support (April 2022). The company has secured over 200 prime federal contract awards across the past several years, with dollar magnitudes ranging from sub-thousand-dollar individual items to contracts exceeding $200 million in potential value per award.

Customer concentration is extreme. Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment accounts for 791 of the company's 985 awards and $11.3 million of the $12.4 million combined potential value across all awards—80 percent of the entire portfolio by count and 91 percent by dollars. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is the second-largest customer with 126 awards and $559 thousand in potential value; Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command holds 8 awards valued at $261 thousand. The remaining customer agencies—Defense Logistics Agency divisions for Hardware and Aviation, Navy Air Systems Command, and others—collectively represent less than 1 percent of the award footprint.

Activity volume has been moderate and irregular. The company received 35 awards in 2022, peaked at 62 in 2023, dropped to 44 in 2024, and held at 42 in 2025, with only 11 awards recorded in the first four months of 2026. Over the next twenty-four months, 13 awards carrying combined potential value of $224 thousand face completion and will require recompete.

Waterbury Plumbing & Heating's procurement footprint is concentrated in low-order-value purchase orders. The top NAICS categories are Plumbing Fixture Fitting and Trim Manufacturing (302 awards), Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (112 awards), and Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment Manufacturing (75 awards). Under federal supply classification, the company dominates Plumbing Fixtures and Accessories (716 awards) and Valves, Nonpowered (60 awards). The company operates on firm fixed-price purchase order vehicles—not GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs—and sells direct to DLA's supply depots for distribution to military installations nationwide.
