About the company
Carter Machinery Co Inc. Construction Division is a for-profit construction and equipment services company based in Mechanicsville, Virginia, that serves as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) on small-dollar generator repair, electrical infrastructure maintenance, and equipment service contracts for federal agencies in a full-and-open competitive posture—no set-asides recur across the footprint. The vendor is a subsidiary of Carter Machinery Company, Incorporated, a parent entity based in Salem, Virginia.
The Construction Division's capability portfolio centers on mechanical and electrical infrastructure maintenance, equipment repair and overhaul, generator installation and commissioning, and field training. Recent representative work includes a $317,070 definitive contract with Navy Installations Command (awarded May 2026) to furnish labor, material, and equipment for two generators at Dahlgren, Virginia buildings; a $131,208 purchase order from the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (June 2026) for equipment repairs and maintenance in Russia with completion in April 2027; a $74,696 purchase order from the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (September 2025) for switchgear sequence-of-operations changes and generator controller-annunciator replacement; and a $75,691 purchase order from Department of Defense Aviation (August 2025) for B-47 load testing in Richmond, Virginia. The vendor also holds experience in generator critical spares supply and electrical training delivery.
Customer concentration is diffuse across federal agencies but anchors to defense and State Department buyers. The top five customers by potential value account for 96% of combined potential value: Navy Installations Command leads with one award worth $317 thousand; the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations follows with four awards worth $282 thousand; Defense Logistics Agency Aviation holds three awards worth $87 thousand; Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region carries two awards worth $45 thousand; and the Department of the Army accounts for eight awards worth $39 thousand. By award count, the Army dominates with eight awards but carries the lowest dollar magnitude per award, while Navy Installations Command and the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations drive disproportionate dollar value on lower volumes. The vendor serves ten distinct federal agencies across recent years.
Awards per year shows episodic activity: one award in 2019, one in 2021, three in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026. Combined potential value across all thirty awards sits at $799 thousand, but combined dollars obligated reaches $1.2 million (152% of potential value), indicating invoiced performance exceeds contract ceiling estimates. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing $448 thousand in recompete exposure. The vendor holds one subcontract role under CACI Inc. Federal (awarded February 2024) for design, maintenance, quality, and shipyard quality assurance research and development for Navy Military Sealift Command hardware. The vendor places occasional task orders under two Department of the Navy indefinite delivery contracts (N0018983C0594 and F4460085C0153) and an Information Analysis Center multiple-award vehicle. The award portfolio skews heavily toward purchase orders and definitive contracts under $350 thousand; work is performed at domestic installations (Virginia, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere) and at overseas locations including Russia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
