Am General LLC

Am General LLC, headquartered in South Bend, Indiana, manufactures and sustains the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) and Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) platforms as a prime contractor across a $41.73 billion combined potential-value portfolio dominated by the Department of the Army and its subordinate commands. The company does not compete under small-business set-asides; all 1,035 recent awards carry full-and-open designations, reflecting Am General's status as a large for-profit manufacturer of military goods and vehicles. Am General holds no sub-award relationships in the source footprint—it operates exclusively as a prime contractor or recipient, delivering defense vehicles, components, systems engineering, and integrated logistics support entirely through direct federal relationships.

The concrete capability portfolio centers on light tactical vehicle production, sustainment, and systems integration. Representative work includes a $689.9 million firm fixed-price delivery order (July 2024, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Robins AFB) for JLTV engineering change proposals under the $9.76 billion ten-year JLTV Indefinite Delivery Contract; a $580.5 million delivery order (May 2023, PEO CSCSS) for 513 JLTV trucks and 273 trailers in support of Ukraine under Presidential Drawdown authority; a $298.5 million delivery order (August 2024, PEO CSCSS) for HMMWV and JLTV production for Iraq, Syria, Army Reserves, and Active Personnel; a $405.4 million delivery order (September 2022, PEO CSCSS) for 254 HMMWV chassis and 813 Shop Equipment Contact Maintenance enclosures with May 2028 completion; and a $172.4 million delivery order (August 2024, PEO CSCSS) for 150 Next-Generation SECM vehicles. Field service representative, systems technical support, and training orders span Slovakia, Slovenia, Brazil, North Macedonia, Mongolia, Romania, Lithuania, Lebanon, and Jordan, ranging from $212,000 to $1.8 million each. The company maintains parallel sustainment contracts for HMMWV systems technical support, powertrain enhancements, HVAC and power inverter kits, and diminishing manufacturing sources remediation.

Customer concentration sits exclusively with Army-related organizations. The top three funding offices account for the full combined potential value: PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support (95 awards, $16.27 billion), Army Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (83 awards, $14.21 billion), and the broader Department of the Army (724 awards, $8.75 billion). The Air Force placed three orders totaling $805.6 million; Special Operations Command nine orders totaling $221 thousand. The $9.76 billion JLTV IDC and related sustainment contracts under PEO CSCSS dominate the portfolio—this single vehicle and its task orders account for a substantial and recurring share of Am General's federal revenue stream. A secondary $527.4 million five-year IDC for HMMWV Shop Equipment Contact Maintenance vehicles awarded September 2022 (completion September 2027) has generated multiple large production orders through 2028. A $27 million single-award HMMWV systems technical support IDC (May 2024, completion May 2027) and a $10.4 million HVAC and power inverter kit IDC (August 2021, completion August 2024) provide smaller but recurring sustainment revenue.

Activity has grown year over year from 7 awards in 2022 to 25 in 2024, with 14 awards in 2025 and 18 year-to-date in 2026. Thirty-four awards (combined potential value $2.35 billion) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing a substantial recompete cliff anchored by the Ukraine JLTV drawdown order completion (February 2028 nominal, but early task orders complete 2026–2027), SECM production orders (April 2029), and multiple field service and systems technical support orders expiring through late 2027. Vehicle categorization spans Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing (121 awards), Engineering Services (108 awards), and Truck Trailer Manufacturing (50 awards). PSC concentration runs across Trucks and Truck Tractors, Wheeled (568 awards), Support—Management and Professional Services (99 combined awards), and Vehicular Components (83 combined awards).

Am General's prime-vs-sub posture is 100% prime across all recent federal awards—the company builds internal delivery capability rather than relying on subcontractor networks for its primary contracts. However, on government-designated subcontractor performance within SCI-reportable service contracts, the company engages named subs for approximately 60% of invoiced hours, with six named subcontractors reported across SCI records in FY2022–FY2024. The vendor's principal named subcontractors on major vehicle production orders include Mayville Engineering Company (fabrication and weldment services), Oshkosh Defense LLC (vehicle components and driveline systems), Praetorian Manufacturing Inc. (armor panels and vehicle body components), Modineer Co LLC (metal fabrications), and Worldtek Industries LLC (machined parts and weldments); the company also engages SBG Defense LLC (transparent armor), G & W Products LLC (metal components), and numerous small disadvantaged and woman-owned suppliers for specialized components. The Ukraine JLTV order and other major production efforts name upwards of 25 active suppliers spanning electrical, armor, powertrain, hydraulics, and structural systems.

SCI-reported invoicing across service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $3.8 million in FY2022–FY2024 ($219 thousand, 0.3 FTEs in FY2022; $462 thousand, 5.4 FTEs in FY2023; $3.1 million, 1.0 FTEs in FY2024). These figures represent a narrow slice of Am General's total federal revenue—SCI excludes goods production, vehicles, and most manufacturing-dominant work, capturing only discrete service contracts. Median government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable service contracts run around $153/hr, with 10th-percentile rates at $66/hr and 90th-percentile senior labor pricing through $184/hr. The company's federal revenue is dominated by vehicle production, sustainment, and component procurement orders rather than service contracts, making SCI-reported dollars a fractional proxy for actual federal footprint and enterprise scale.
