About the company
Brad Foote Gear Works, Inc., doing business as Brad Foote Gearing, manufactures and rehabilitates specialized industrial gearboxes, speed reducers, gears, and pinions for federal infrastructure projects as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company is a small disadvantaged business subsidiary of Broadwind, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business manufacturer headquartered in Cicero, Illinois, and operates exclusively as a prime vendor (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract footprint.
Brad Foote Gearing's customer base concentrates heavily within the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers. The top five customers account for 81% of awards by count and 94% of combined potential value, dominated by the Army Corps of Engineers (12 awards, $601 thousand combined potential value) and the Corps' Huntington District (4 awards, $217 thousand). The Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command and the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation round out the active customer set with two awards each. This concentration reflects Brad Foote Gearing's specialization in dam, lock, and crane infrastructure maintenance — work that routes almost exclusively through the Corps and its regional districts.
The capability portfolio centers on NAICS 333612 (Speed Changer, Industrial High-Speed Drive, and Gear Manufacturing), which accounts for 18 of 27 recent awards. Representative work includes a $137,566 purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers (awarded December 2023) for manufacture and delivery of high-speed double helix gears and pinions for spillway gate hoists at Lower Monumental Lock and Dam; a $139,680 purchase order (April 2026) for fabrication, testing, and delivery of two speed reducers and appurtenances for Paint Creek Lake in Bainbridge, Ohio; and a $62,555 purchase order (April 2026) for rehabilitation of parallel shaft and right angle gearboxes at Deer Creek Lake near Mt. Sterling, Ohio. All three awards carry total small business set-asides and firm fixed pricing. Brad Foote Gearing also holds one active indefinite delivery contract, DAAE0782CA719, under which it places task orders.
Activity has remained flat to modest across the past five years (three to four awards per year), with combined potential value across all 27 awards totaling $1.2 million. The source carries no recompete-cliff data. Brad Foote Gearing operates as a wholly owned subsidiary with no named independent subcontractor relationships; its federal contracting footprint is embedded within Broadwind's small disadvantaged business certification and operates as a specialized manufacturing unit within that parent structure.
