Badger Truck And Automotive Group, Inc.

Badger Truck And Automotive Group, Inc., headquartered in Brookfield, Wisconsin, supplies automotive and vehicular components to the Department of Defense as a small business prime contractor, with over 8,800 awards concentrated almost entirely in Defense Logistics Agency procurement across Land and Maritime, Aviation, and Troop Support components. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor—100% of its federal footprint is prime work—with no subcontract activity, delivering firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders for standardized parts ranging from brake system components and transmission assemblies to hydraulic systems, steering gear assemblies, propeller shafts, valve assemblies, and hardware items.

Badger Truck's customer concentration is heavily weighted to DLA. The top five customers account for 92% of recent awards, with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime dominating at 5,715 awards ($126.2 million combined potential value), followed by DLA Aviation (841 awards, $18.5 million), DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (623 awards, $9.5 million), and Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (319 awards, $170.3 million). The Army program represents the second-largest dollar concentration despite fewer awards, driven by larger individual contract values. DLA Land and Maritime leads both award count and dollars among top customers, reflecting the company's core business supplying motor vehicle brake components, seals, transmission parts, and engine accessories under NAICS codes 336340 (Motor Vehicle Brake System Manufacturing), 336390 (All Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing), and related classifications under Product Service Codes 25 (Vehicular Equipment Components) and 28 (Engine Accessories).

Badger Truck holds an extensive portfolio of single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime—over 30 active vehicles, each carrying $250,000 ceiling amounts—enabling rapid task order issuance for routine replenishment. The top parent vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract SP070004D9727, carries 555 task orders; SPM75001D9708 accounts for 417 task orders valued at $16.1 million combined potential. These IDC structures provide the company with pre-negotiated firm fixed-price pricing and standardized delivery timelines of 45 to 85 days to DLA depots, supporting the agency's supply chain objectives across multiple military service branches.

Activity has grown significantly year over year—from 94 awards in 2022 to 289 in 2025—though 2026 shows only 49 awards to date given the mid-year source snapshot. The company faces modest recompete exposure: 22 awards ($3 million combined potential value) are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next 24 months, presenting routine replenishment of existing contract vehicles rather than major program risk.

Badger Truck operates as a registered small business (SAM registration since January 2002) without major subcontractors. Recent representative awards include a $1.202 million Definitive Contract for solenoid valves (January 14, 2026, Total Small Business set-aside, ultimate completion March 15, 2027), a $346.5 million purchase order for hydraulic pumps (October 1, 2025, Total Small Business set-aside), a $319.4 million purchase order for caliper assembly components (February 5, 2026, Total Small Business set-aside), and multiple steering gear, air brake chamber, and transmission control module awards ranging from $20,000 to $245,000. Approximately 40 to 50 percent of the company's contract awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations; the remainder compete full-and-open at DLA. Place of performance spans Brookfield and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with deliveries directed to DLA distribution facilities throughout the continental United States and overseas consolidation points.
