Armstrong Elevator Company

Armstrong Elevator Company, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) based in Largo, Florida, is a prime contractor specializing in elevator installation, modernization, repair, and maintenance for federal facilities across 60 customer agencies. The vendor competes predominantly under small-business set-asides, with 100% of recent awards as prime contracts and no subcontracting footprint. The company holds SDVOSB and veteran-owned business (VOSB) designations and operates under NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and related codes.

Armstrong's federal customer base is heavily concentrated in civilian infrastructure agencies. The Department of Veterans Affairs leads by potential value—Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 alone accounts for eight awards worth $23.1 million—with 16 VA awards across the portfolio. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region anchors 26 awards ($13.6 million combined potential value), predominantly for elevator modernization at air traffic control towers. The General Services Administration accounts for 25 awards ($13.9 million to Region 5 alone), and the Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation contributed 10 awards worth $9.8 million. These five customer segments represent 48% of combined potential value.

Recent representative work spans large capital replacement projects and smaller maintenance calls. Armstrong delivered a $8.04 million SDVOSB-set-aside elevator renovation contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs for the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee (ultimate completion June 2027, phased replacement of twelve elevators across three banks). The company holds a $3.64 million GSA Region 5 contract for furnishing and installing four new elevators at the Gerald Ford Federal Building in Grand Rapids, Michigan (ultimate completion September 2028). FAA work includes a $482 thousand SDVOSB set-aside definitive contract for elevator repair and refurbishment at the Syracuse Air Traffic Control Tower (awarded January 2026, completion November 2026) and numerous smaller modernization calls at ATCT facilities ranging from $198 thousand to $800 thousand. Armstrong also maintains a $5 million Army Corps of Engineers Blanket Purchase Agreement for elevator inspection and maintenance services (through March 2028), under which it has received individual task orders including a $5.6 thousand no-load safety testing call for Stockton, Missouri.

The vendor's activity trajectory shows recent softening. Awards declined from 12 in 2023 and 2024 to only 2 in 2025, though the portfolio remains dense with 259 total awards spanning back to 1991. Four awards worth a combined $13.9 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure for the vendor and opportunity for competitors.

Armstrong operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontracting engagement across its federal work. Service Contract Inventory reporting captures 39 prime service contracts above the $150 thousand threshold across fiscal years 2022–2024. SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $18.3 million ($2 million in FY2022, $3.8 million in FY2023, $12.5 million in FY2024), with federal workforce scale of 2.1 FTEs (FY2022), 3.4 FTEs (FY2023), and 12.0 FTEs (FY2024). Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $263.78/hr to a median of $508.84/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $3,622.97/hr at the 90th percentile. The vendor carries zero subcontractor engagement on prime SCI contracts, meaning all delivery is performed by Armstrong's own labor. Armstrong's set-aside posture splits between SDVOSB sole-source and competitive small-business set-asides on larger awards, with occasional full-and-open competition on smaller projects and maintenance work.

The top five parent vehicles by task-order volume are Air Force indefinite-delivery contract F2460400D0003 (7 task orders), Army indefinite-delivery contract DAAG6002D0014 (6 task orders, $12 thousand combined value), GSA Multiple Award Schedule indefinite-delivery contract GS03P04CDC1020 (5 task orders, $47 thousand), VA indefinite-delivery contract VA26116D0022 (4 task orders, $7.1 million), and FAA indefinite-delivery contract FA462616D0005 (1 task order, $1.1 million). Armstrong's primary service-category concentration sits with elevator and vertical-transportation work across air traffic control facilities, federal office buildings, federal medical centers, and correctional facilities, with secondary presence in broader building systems maintenance.
