About the company
Gary W Clem Inc., doing business as Almaco, manufactures specialized agricultural research equipment — small plot combines, precision planters, threshers, seed counters, and related machinery — as a prime contractor exclusively to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS), competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides. The Nevada, Iowa-based firm is a small business manufacturer classified under NAICS 333111 (Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC 1650 (Harvesting Equipment), with no subcontracting footprint; all 215 awards in the source data are prime contracts spanning the past four decades.
USDA ARS dominates Almaco's customer concentration with near-total exclusivity. The Department of Agriculture accounts for 86% of awards across multiple regional components: the field research implementation and information delivery infrastructure (74 awards, $3.8 million combined potential value), the Midwest Area (41 awards, $2.2 million), the Plains Area (19 awards, $1.8 million), the Pacific West Area (16 awards, $930 thousand), and the agricultural research service parent organization (34 awards, $769 thousand). The top five customer groupings account for 85% of combined potential value. Recent named work includes a $536.7 thousand R1 Combine set up for soybean research (USDA ARS Southeast Area, June 2026), a $284.7 thousand SPC-20 small plot combine for hemp breeding (USDA ARS, September 2025), a $539.2 thousand two-row rotary plot combine for the Midwest Area (September 2022), a $517.5 thousand small plot combine for the Plains Area Northern Crop Science Laboratory (August 2022), and a $189.2 thousand high-precision 4-row research plot planter for the Midwest Area (September 2023). Almaco also provides upgrade services, repair work, and maintenance: a $110.3 thousand corn research plot combine weigh system replacement and installation (USDA ARS Midwest Area, August 2026), a $139 thousand seed counting carousel for the Germplasm Enhancement of Maize Project (August 2026), and multiple service contracts for preventive maintenance and equipment repair across ARS regional facilities.
Activity has contracted sharply in recent years. Almaco averaged 11.5 awards annually from 2022 to 2024 (10 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 11 in 2024) but dropped to 2 awards in 2025 and 5 in 2026 through the source date (September 22, 2026). Combined potential value across all 215 awards totals $11.2 million, with obligated dollars reaching $12.8 million (114% of potential), indicating that final costs have exceeded initial ceiling values on a portfolio basis. Within the next twenty-four months, five awards with combined potential value of $922 thousand face ultimate completion dates, creating recompete exposure in that window. The majority of Almaco's contracts are awarded under Total Small Business set-asides; a minority denominated "No Set-Aside Used" or "Partial Small Business" represent exceptions rather than the norm. Almaco's equipment footprint spans harvesting equipment (106 awards), soil preparation equipment (33 awards), maintenance and repair services for agricultural machinery (20 awards), laboratory equipment (12 awards), and tractors (10 awards), all in service of USDA ARS crop genetics, soil science, and sustainable farming research operations.
