The Air National Guard awarded a $114,465 firm fixed-price purchase order to Vintaholdings LLC (doing business as Bailey Specialty Cranes & Aerials) on September 29, 2025, for the procurement of explosion-proof scissor lifts. This total small business set-aside contract is designated for use in hazardous environments where explosion-resistant equipment is required, with performance to be completed by December 31, 2025, at a location in Muskego, Wisconsin. The award stems from a Department of the Army New York Army National Guard solicitation posted in early September 2025 that sought specialized aircraft ground servicing equipment capable of operating safely in explosive atmospheres.
Vintaholdings is a minority-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business with extensive expertise in designing and manufacturing specialized lifting equipment for defense applications. The company has established a strong track record with the Department of Defense, particularly through an indefinite delivery contract valued at $6,001,850 with the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex for explosion-proof boom lifts supporting aircraft maintenance operations at Air Force bases. This current award reinforces Vintaholdings' position as a capable supplier of explosion-proof lifting solutions for military ground support operations, leveraging its specialized manufacturing capabilities to meet the critical infrastructure and maintenance needs of the Armed Forces.
