About the company
American Crane & Equipment Corp, doing business as Aceco, a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) based in Douglassville, Pennsylvania, manufactures and services electric overhead cranes, hoists, and lifting equipment while providing proof load testing and technical inspection services to the Department of the Navy and other federal agencies as a prime contractor on 89% of its recent awards.
Aceco's business centers on two concrete capability streams: equipment manufacturing and repair—principally overhead traveling cranes, hoists, and monorail systems (38 of the vendor's 75 recent awards under NAICS 238210)—and specialized testing and inspection services. Representative prime work includes a $1.062 million indefinite delivery contract with Naval Strategic Systems Programs running through March 2027 for proof load testing of launch tube installation handling equipment (lifting frames, horizontal transfer sling assemblies, and cradle/ring assemblies used in submarine and surface ship programs), from which the Navy has issued delivery orders valued at $261,132 (July 2023) and $171,272 (March 2022) for completed proof load test work. Aceco also holds a Total Small Business set-aside purchase order from the Army Reserve Command valued at $25,102 (awarded June 1, 2026) for assembly, installation, and load testing of a 10-ton Wallace gantry crane with hoist at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, and a Total Small Business $16,650 purchase order from the Air Force (awarded August 18, 2025) for annual weight testing and inspection services supporting the 177th Fighter Wing through August 2030.
Customer concentration is dispersed across the Navy and other federal agencies. The top five customers by award count (47% coverage) include the Department of the Treasury's United States Mint (11 awards, $647 thousand combined potential value), Naval Sea Systems Command (8 awards, $864 thousand), the Department of the Navy broadly (6 awards), the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (5 awards), and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (5 awards). The dollar rankings diverge from volume: Naval Facilities Engineering Command anchors 53% of combined potential value with just five awards totaling $30 million, while the Mint and NAVSEA drive award volume but carry lower per-award magnitude. Aceco serves 29 distinct customer agencies across its award portfolio, indicating broad federal market exposure rather than narrow customer concentration.
Activity has been variable. Awards per year declined from three in 2022 to two in 2023, recovered to six in 2024, dropped to four in 2025, and show one award year-to-date in 2026. The combined potential value across all 75 awards stands at $67.4 million, with only $20.3 million obligated to date (30% of ceiling). Aceco operates primarily as a prime (89% of awards) and primarily as the maker and repairer of equipment, with subcontracting limited to specialized testing and engineering work under large defense system integrators. Aceco subcontracts to Huntington Ingalls on CVN-class aircraft carrier maintenance planning and gantry crane design support and to Fluor Marine Propulsion on Naval Nuclear Laboratory facility operations, including crane replacement projects and maintenance support. The SCI dataset reflects minimal service-contract reportable activity—zero prime invoicing in FY2022 and an estimated 1.8 FTEs delivered as a subcontractor in FY2025 under Fluor—indicating Aceco's federal revenue streams flow primarily through equipment sales and repair purchase orders and small-dollar testing delivery orders rather than through service-contract vehicles above the $150,000 reporting threshold. Aceco's WOSB designation does not carry set-aside requirements; most recent prime awards use either Total Small Business set-asides or no set-aside, with competitive full-and-open awards under the Naval Strategic Systems Programs IDV.
