The Naval Sea Systems Command awarded a $860.5K delivery order to Piedmont Hoist & Crane Inc., a small disadvantaged business based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for the manufacture and delivery of one 10-ton overhead electric traveling bridge crane designated as model E-87. The crane will be delivered to Naval Facilities and Production Center Philadelphia in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a place of performance in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and an ultimate completion date of June 13, 2026. This delivery order was issued under a firm fixed-price contract structure with no set-aside designation applied to this specific award.
This delivery order is issued under Piedmont Hoist & Crane's $60 million multiple award indefinite delivery contract with Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Facilities Engineering Command, which is part of the Weight Handling Equipment master IDIQ vehicle. The IDC, expiring in June 2028, enables the Navy to procure and service large capacity weight handling equipment across its facilities. Piedmont Hoist & Crane has established itself as a qualified federal contractor through consistent delivery of specialized crane systems to the Department of the Navy, including previous large-scale projects such as installing 13 cranes at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake valued at over $5 million, demonstrating its capability to support critical naval infrastructure maintenance and modernization efforts.
