Servatius & Ehlenz GMBH

Servatius & Ehlenz GMBH, a German-based for-profit equipment supplier, provides specialized grounds maintenance and facility support equipment to the U.S. Air Force as a prime contractor on purchase orders, competing in open (non-set-aside) procurements. The vendor operates from Rittersdorf, Germany, registered in SAM.gov since 2004, and has established a narrow but consistent customer relationship with U.S. Air Forces Europe and Africa (USAFE-A) for seasonal and specialized equipment rentals and sales.

The vendor's capability footprint centers entirely on grounds maintenance equipment and support machinery. Recent representative awards include a $350,094.39 firm fixed-price purchase order from USAFE-A for a Glycol Recovery Vehicle (awarded September 6, 2024, completed July 6, 2025), a $75,726.22 purchase order for a Green Climber MDB LV 500 Pro Remote Control Mower (awarded September 2, 2021), and a $42,029.46 purchase order for the rental of two snow removal tractors (awarded November 27, 2025, scheduled for completion April 4, 2026). The procurement category breakdown reflects this narrow specialization: the top NAICS codes are Lawn and Garden Tractor and Home Lawn and Garden Equipment Manufacturing (15 awards), Construction Machinery Manufacturing (6 awards), and Farm and Garden Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (6 awards), with the top PSCs dominated by Gardening Implements and Tools (18 awards) and Road Clearing, Cleaning, and Marking Equipment (8 awards).

Customer concentration is absolute: USAFE-A accounts for 52 of 60 total awards ($2.6 million of $2.9 million combined potential value). The remaining three distinct customer agencies — Defense Finance and Accounting Service (7 awards, $235 thousand) and Department of the Air Force proper (1 award, $43 thousand) — appear to be collateral or administrative buyers within the same command structure. Activity is sparse and episodic: one award each in 2018, 2020, 2021, 2024, and 2025 over the past five years. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. All 60 awards have been purchase orders under open competition with no set-aside designation, indicating general applicability and no small-business, HUBZone, or disadvantaged-business program participation.
