Clarke Power Services Inc.

Clarke Power Services Inc., a small business manufacturer headquartered in Henderson, Kentucky, supplies automotive, industrial, and aviation parts and components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open designations across roughly 5,300 awards with a combined potential value of $307.7 million. The company operates manufacturing and distribution facilities in Henderson, Kentucky and West Chester Township, Ohio (Sharonville area), and serves as an authorized dealer for Rolls-Royce Solutions America Inc. and MTU engines while maintaining in-house manufacturing capability for specialized military vehicle drivetrain and engine components.

The vendor's customer concentration sits overwhelmingly with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime, which accounts for 4,142 awards (98% of award count) valued at $137.3 million combined potential value. This dominance by order count masks a secondary concentration by dollar value: the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (ACC Warren, also called Army Contracting Command Warren) has placed 74 awards valued at $137.7 million combined potential value—nearly matching DLA's dollar volume despite representing only 1.4% of award count. This split reflects DLA's reliance on Clarke Power for high-volume, lower-dollar component purchases (transmission parts, gaskets, fuel components, seals) while ACC Warren places larger, strategic delivery orders for transmission assemblies and related drivetrain systems. The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard, DLA Aviation, and DLA Troop Support Hardware round out the top five customers by dollar value, collectively representing $28.1 million. The company works across 27 distinct federal agencies.

Clarke Power's capability portfolio centers on mechanical drivetrain and engine components for military vehicles. Recent representative work includes a $8.514 million delivery order from ACC Warren (August 2025) for Generation IV transmissions supporting the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) program; a $2.527 million definitive contract from ACC Warren (September 2025) for housing and flywheel components; a $1.873 million delivery order from ACC Warren (July 2025) for 93 mechanic repair kits; and a $570.206 million delivery order from ACC Warren (October 2025) for 595 control assemblies (NSN 2520-01-575-3007). DLA Land and Maritime awards emphasize smaller purchase orders and delivery orders for individual components—fuel pumps, gaskets, seals, cylinder sleeves, electrical solenoids, transmission modulators, injector assemblies, and related parts—typically ranging from under one thousand dollars to $200,000 per order, with firm fixed-price terms and 42- to 180-day completion windows.

Clarke Power holds an extensive network of indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs), predominantly with DLA Land and Maritime. The source identifies approximately 20 single-award IDVs, each with ceiling values of $250,000 to $350,000 and one-year performance periods, designated as Total Small Business set-asides. Named IDCs include contracts for helical compression springs (NSN 5360012481587, $350,000 ceiling, April 2026 award), fluid filters (NSN 2940015662953, $350,000, March 2026), cylinder sleeves (NSN 2815014817904, $350,000, February 2026), transmission control assemblies (multiple NSNs, ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $4.74 million), transmission modulators, gaskets, brake shoes, fuel metering pumps, and related components. The company also holds a longer-term IDV with DLA Aviation (no set-aside, five-year term through January 2031, $350,000 ceiling). A larger Army Contracting Command Warren IDV for Generation IV transmissions carries a $31.7 million ceiling. The top parent vehicles by task order volume are Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7LX16D0044 (975 task orders, $4.4 million combined value), SPM7LX13D9008 (175 task orders, $916 thousand), and HSCG4013D51001 (165 task orders, $7.2 million), indicating Clarke Power's heavy reliance on DLA and Coast Guard IDV frameworks.

Activity has declined from 532 awards in 2022 to 82 in 2026 year-to-date (through mid-July). Sixteen awards carrying combined potential value of $31.9 million face ultimate completion dates within the next 24 months, representing significant recompete risk and opportunity for competitors. Clarke Power holds a single subcontract role (as of the source): a sub-award to DRS Sustainment Systems, Inc. for Halvorsen loader overhaul engine components (November 2025), representing minimal sub-engagement. The parent company structure lists Clarke Power Services, Inc. (UEI ERLNFH2HH1R6, Cincinnati address) as the parent entity; the source's primary vendor (UEI LDP2W52HLN15, Henderson address) appears to be a child or subsidiary aligned under that parent.

Set-aside posture is characteristic of the prime footprint: approximately 60–70% of awards carry Total Small Business designations, with the remainder split between full-and-open and no-set-aside procurement. The company competes across both categories with equal facility, indicating it qualifies as small business but also wins open competition awards. NAICS concentration runs across motor vehicle body manufacturing (996 awards), motor vehicle transmission and power train parts manufacturing (839 awards), and other engine equipment manufacturing (589 awards), with PSC concentration in vehicular power transmission components (807 awards) and packing and gasket materials (690 awards).
