Construction and Mining (except Oil Well) Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers

NAICS 423810 covers wholesale merchant wholesalers specializing in construction and mining machinery and equipment, excluding oil well equipment. These wholesalers typically distribute heavy machinery such as excavators, dozers, cranes, loaders, and related components to various industries including construction, infrastructure development, forestry, and government agencies. The category involves the sale, rental, and sometimes maintenance of specialized heavy equipment used in industrial, governmental, and commercial applications.

The federal contract awards demonstrate a robust market for construction and mining equipment procurement across multiple government agencies. Key funding agencies include the Department of State, U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Agriculture Forest Service, and Department of Defense branches. Contract values range from approximately $5,000 to $434,880, with most awards being firm fixed-price purchase orders. Frequently awarded entities include Caterpillar-authorized dealers like Carter Machinery Company, John Deere Shared Services, and regional equipment suppliers. Most awards do not utilize small business set-asides, though some opportunities are designated as total small business set-asides. Performance locations span domestic and international sites, including military bases, diplomatic facilities, and federal infrastructure projects.

Recent federal contract opportunities focus on specific equipment procurement, including a Bobcat Compact Track Loader for the Air Force Mobility Command and low ground pressure dozers for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Both opportunities are designated as total small business set-asides under NAICS 423810, with solicitations targeting equipment for specialized missions such as snow removal, parking lot maintenance, forestry work, and infrastructure development. The opportunities emphasize detailed technical specifications, specific brand requirements, and performance expectations, reflecting the precise nature of heavy equipment procurement in government contracting.
