B. Hepworth And Co., LTD. Of Connecticut, Inc.

B. Hepworth And Co., LTD. Of Connecticut, Inc., doing business as Window Wiper Technologies, Inc., manufactures and supplies automotive and mechanical components — principally windshield wiper blades, wiper motors, control boxes, mounting brackets, and related hardware — to the federal government as a prime contractor on a series of small-dollar purchase orders, with no set-aside designations across the entire footprint.

Based in Mystic, Connecticut, Window Wiper Technologies is a for-profit manufacturer competing entirely full-and-open against other responsible sources. The vendor's federal work is concentrated almost exclusively with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division, which accounts for 69 awards and $1.7 million in combined potential value across the 89-award footprint — 100% of recent activity by customer count and 94% by dollar value. A secondary stream of 19 awards totaling $9 thousand flows through DLA Troop Support Hardware, with a single $14 thousand award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. All awards to date are purchase orders with no IDVs, BPAs, or parent vehicles; the vendor operates transactionally, responding to individual spot-buy RFQs from DLA's distribution network.

Recent representative work includes a $35,350.62 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (May 28, 2024) for windshield wiper blades in bulk (1,367 total units), a $10,387.35 order (February 9, 2025) for windshield wiper blade procurement, and a $288 purchase order (November 10, 2025) for a windshield wiper motor. Smaller awards cluster around individual control boxes, mounting brackets, and refill blades in the $30–$600 range. The vendor's category concentration reflects this portfolio: Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing (24 awards), Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing (20 awards), and Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (21 awards) dominate by award count. PSC coding confirms the vehicular-accessory focus — Vehicular Furniture And Accessories PSC carries 56 awards.

Activity has been episodic. The source captures 89 awards spanning from 2009 to November 2025, but the pace in the last five years shows a decline from a peak of four awards in 2024 to two in 2025, with a single award in 2023. Combined potential value across all ninety awards is $1.8 million, fully obligated. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and does not serve as a sub to larger primes — all work is direct prime to DLA. Window Wiper Technologies competes in a narrow, transactional segment of federal procurement: DLA spot-buy parts supply with no volume commitments, no parent vehicles, and no set-aside protection, making the business volume-sensitive to DLA's automotive and marine fleet maintenance cycles.
