Arndt Automobile GMBH

Arndt Automobile GMBH, a German for-profit sole proprietorship headquartered in Neuss, Germany, supplies non-tactical vehicle leasing and transportation services to the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor operating in full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. The company has received 127 federal prime contract awards totaling $35.8 million in combined potential value since 2019, with $15.3 million obligated to date, and operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no documented subcontractor partnerships.

Arndt's capability footprint centers on passenger-car and commercial-vehicle leasing across a diverse portfolio: sedans, 7–9 passenger vans, SUVs, box trucks, utility trucks, cargo trucks, and specialized vehicles tailored to military logistics and personnel transport. Representative work includes a $20 million multiple-award BPA with U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA) awarded in August 2025 for vehicle leasing through July 2030; a $839,329 purchase order from the Army for lease of 48 non-tactical vehicles supporting V Corps RAF operations in Poland; a $1,069,373 Army Special Operations Command purchase order for semi-truck and NTV leasing in Germany through August 2025; and a $1,195,541 U.S. Special Operations Command purchase order modification in September 2024 for NTV support in Germany through January 2026. Smaller call orders against standing BPAs are frequent and typically range from $3,000 to $150,000 per call.

USAFE-AFAFRICA dominates the customer base, accounting for 72 awards (57% of total awards) with $25.1 million in combined potential value across two active BPA vehicles. The Department of the Army places 16 awards worth $4.6 million; the Army's Special Operations Command generates seven awards totaling $2.1 million; Army European Command (EUCOM) holds 14 awards valued at $851 thousand; and five smaller customers (Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, Air Mobility Command, Training and Doctrine Command, Surface Deployment and Distribution Command, and Air National Guard) place occasional orders. Together, the top five customers by dollar value account for 95% of combined potential value, with USAFE-AFAFRICA and Army accounting for 85%.

Arndt holds two active IDVs: the $20 million USAFE-AFAFRICA multiple-award BPA (August 2025 through July 2030) against which 72 task orders have been placed since award, and a single-award Comprehensive Automobile Rental Stuttgart (CARS) BPA valued at $249,000 (March 2022 through February 2025) issued by Army Regional Contracting Office Stuttgart. The USAFE-AFAFRICA vehicle carries a $4.6 million combined potential value across its 72 task orders; the CARS BPA generated three documented calls. Award activity has remained steady at 20–25 awards per year over 2022–2025, with one award placed in the first quarter of 2026. Within the next 24 months, six awards carrying $1 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion date and face recompete exposure.

Performance locations span Germany, Poland, and Belgium. All contract awards were procured through full and open competition with firm fixed-price pricing. Arndt maintains SAM.gov registration since November 2017 and carries a clean compliance record with no documented protests or disputes.
