About this vehicle
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware established the DLA Heavy Equipment Program master IDIQ on February 2, 2012, with a final ordering deadline of April 27, 2023—the vehicle is now closed to new orders. The master IDIQ procures heavy equipment including dozers, loaders, excavators, graders, rollers, forklifts, sweepers, and specialized material-handling and site-maintenance machinery. All 4,607 task orders awarded under the vehicle carry no set-aside designation.
Ordering activity has declined sharply in the past three years. The program sustained 500+ orders annually from 2018 through 2020, but fell to 430 orders in 2021 and 247 orders in 2022. The most recent task order award occurred September 8, 2022, over three years ago. Of the $8.48 billion combined potential value across all task orders, only $2.16 billion (25 percent) has been obligated, indicating many orders remain unfulfilled or partially executed.
Competition is highly concentrated by potential value. Altec Industries alone holds 61 orders worth $6.3 billion in combined potential value—roughly 74 percent of the entire program's potential value. The distribution by order count differs markedly: Caterpillar leads with 925 orders valued at $904 million, Hyster-Yale follows with 776 orders at $133.9 million, and American Material Handling holds 539 orders at $83.5 million. The top five primes by order count account for 57 percent of task orders; the top five by potential value account for 89 percent. Beyond those leaders, 49 distinct primes participate in the program.
Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment placed 4,595 of 4,607 task orders (99.7 percent), worth $8.48 billion in combined potential value. Remaining orders funded Department of Justice, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of the Air Force programs at minimal volume.
Recent task orders reveal typical value ranges from under $50,000 to approximately $8.8 million, with firm-fixed-price and fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment structures dominating. Notable mega-orders include an $8.77 million wheel loader delivery, a $5.08 million dozer order, and a $4.42 million wheeled excavator order, all awarded in August 2022. Performance periods typically span 12 to 24 months from award.
