Craft Forklift And Material Handling Service, Inc.

Craft Forklift And Material Handling Service, Inc., doing business as Craft Forklift & Materials Handling Service Inc., operates as a for-profit manufacturer providing material handling equipment maintenance, repair, inspection, certification, and lifecycle management services to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor on full-and-open (non-set-aside) federal contracts. Headquartered in Hampton, Virginia, Craft Forklift competes exclusively in the open market across all 87 recent federal awards in the source data; the vendor holds no SBA certifications and does not pursue set-aside work.

Craft Forklift's capability portfolio centers on specialized support for naval material handling assets, particularly forklifts used aboard Military Sealift Command vessels and at shore facilities. Representative work includes a $244,550 purchase order (April 2025) from Military Sealift Command for recertification and repair of 16 Hyster E40ZG, 5 Hyster S60FTG, 4 Entwistle, and 1 JLG aerial lift aboard the USNS SUPPLY in Norfolk; a $213,800 purchase order (July 2023) for USNS ARCTIC materials handling equipment safety recertification in Hampton; and a $197,750 purchase order (June 2022) for MHE recertification aboard the USNS Robert E. Peary. Task-order activity under the vendor's $1.91 million five-year indefinite delivery contract (awarded April 2022, running through October 2027) shows steady demand for emergent repairs, annual inspections, five-year recertifications, and lifecycle management—recent delivery orders in the $3,000–$50,000 range across fiscal years 2024–2026.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. Military Sealift Command accounts for 72 of 87 awards (83% of count) and $5.3 million of $5.5 million combined potential value (96% of dollars). The remaining four Navy customer organizations—Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, and one award from Department of Transportation Maritime Administration—collectively represent 15 awards and less than 4% of potential value. This concentration reflects Craft Forklift's niche positioning as a dedicated MSC material handling equipment support provider rather than a diversified federal contractor.

Craft Forklift operates exclusively under a single parent indefinite delivery contract with Military Sealift Command (N3220522D0011), under which 29 task orders have been issued carrying $301 thousand in combined potential value. This vehicle, awarded April 2022, is the vendor's sole vehicle position in the source data; all other awards are standalone purchase orders or delivery orders issued outside a named vehicle structure. The vendor holds no position on government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs), BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs.

Activity has remained steady but modest in scale—13 awards in 2022, declining to 9 in 2023, recovering to 12 in 2024, and 9 in 2025, with 1 award recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Combined obligated dollars of $3.6 million across all awards suggests realized revenue run-rate in the mid-to-low single millions annually. The vendor holds no subcontract awards; all 87 awards are prime awards, meaning Craft Forklift performs the work directly and carries no notable teaming relationships in the source data. The indefinite delivery contract runs through October 7, 2027, creating moderate recompete exposure in that window, though the contract's low-dollar, high-frequency task-order pattern (dozens of individual orders under $50,000) differs sharply from the recompete risk profile of larger consolidated vehicles. Work is performed in Hampton, Virginia and at MSC facilities in Norfolk, Virginia, supporting the Navy and Marine Corps' global sealift and logistics operations.
