Zemarc Corporation

Zemarc Corporation, doing business as Zemarc, supplies hydraulic, filtration, and electro-mechanical components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on over 1,500 purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts issued by the Defense Logistics Agency. The company is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business (Subchapter S corporation) headquartered in Commerce, California, and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on its IDCs, though individual task orders split between set-aside and full-and-open designations.

Zemarc's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in a single agency: the Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 98% of recent awards across two primary divisions. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime drives the bulk of volume with 1,155 awards valued at $40.8 million combined potential value, while Defense Logistics Agency Aviation places 271 awards worth $20.2 million. The two rankings track tightly—Land and Maritime dominates both award count and dollars—leaving minimal exposure to other customers such as Naval Air Systems Command, Troop Support Hardware, and Troop Support Construction and Equipment. Zemarc's work is split across fluid power components: industrial valves (280 awards by PSC code), centrifugal separators and filters (215 awards), pumps (152 awards), and fluid connector products. Representative work includes a $10 million single-award five-year indefinite delivery contract for door closers awarded by DLA Aviation in July 2024, with four delivery orders placed to date totaling $1.584 million; a $250,000 IDC for fluid filter elements from DLA Land and Maritime with deliveries to CONUS and overseas depots; and numerous $20,000–$100,000+ single awards for linear valves, rotary pumps, accumulators, and seal kits.

Vehicle position centers on single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime and DLA Aviation, most ceilinged at $250,000 per IDC and structured for rapid on-demand ordering. Zemarc holds approximately fifteen active IDCs across both divisions with varying set-aside postures; the largest is a $10 million DLA Aviation contract for door closers running through July 2029, with task orders issued against multiple smaller $250,000 IDCs under both total small business and full-and-open competitions. Recent activity has declined from 120 awards in 2022 to 12 in the first quarter of 2026, signaling either market saturation, customer consolidation, or recompete transitions. Within the next twenty-four months, only three awards face ultimate completion, carrying combined potential value of $711,000—a modest recompete cliff suggesting most of Zemarc's active work extends beyond that window.

Zemarc operates as a subcontractor to major defense contractors on specialized fluid power work: The Boeing Company has engaged Zemarc for electro-hydraulic test stand components and procurement-and-install services; General Atomics has tasked Zemarc on hardware implementation for engineering changes; and The Aerospace Corporation has sourced Parker Hannifin oxygen filters and connectors through Zemarc. These sub relationships represent less than 1% of the vendor's federal footprint by award count and are ancillary to the prime DLA distribution model. Zemarc's over forty years in fluid power distribution and established set-aside posture position it as a reliable DLA supplier for repetitive small-dollar spare-parts procurement, but the narrow customer and product concentration creates exposure to DLA budget decisions and potential consolidation of its fragmented IDC portfolio.
