Cummins Inc.

Cummins Inc.'s Cummins Sales and Service Division operates as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) supplying generator maintenance, repair, and diesel engine services to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations. Cummins Inc. is a global power technology manufacturer headquartered in Columbus, Indiana; the Cummins Sales and Service Division, based in Des Moines, Iowa, is a child division of the parent company, which is a for-profit corporation classified as a manufacturer of goods. The vendor competes exclusively outside of set-asides and serves as a large, established federal contractor with no SBA certifications.

The capability portfolio centers on generator maintenance, repair, and refurbishment; diesel engine repair and overhaul; and preventive maintenance services for backup power systems across federal facilities. Representative work includes a $999,735 purchase order from the Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (awarded July 2022, completion May 2025) for twelve generator set assemblies for the Forward Repair System; a $480,604 definitive contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (awarded December 2021, completion November 2026) for preventive maintenance inspections and repair on emergency generators at the VA Maryland Health Care System; and a $308,374 purchase order from the VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (awarded May 2022, completion April 2027) for semi-annual generator testing services in Des Moines, Iowa.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army operations. The top five funding agencies account for 64% of recent awards by count but 95% of combined potential value. The Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command leads both metrics, placing 12 awards worth $19.7 million combined potential value — predominantly for generator overhaul parts, replacement parts packages, and generator evaluation services for the Forward Repair System. The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service follows by award count (10 awards, $58 thousand combined potential value) but trails significantly in dollar value, reflecting transactional automotive mechanical repair work. The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service (10 awards, $238 thousand), the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Sandstone (6 awards, $62 thousand), and the Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (5 awards, $693 thousand) round out the active set. The dual ranking reveals a tension: TACOM commands the dollars through a small number of high-value parts and equipment orders, while GSA and IHS sustain high-frequency, lower-value transactional work. The distribution across 22 distinct customer agencies signals broad but shallow market penetration outside TACOM.

Cummins holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029, ceiling $331,365.61) for annual and semi-annual generator maintenance services covering on-site preventive maintenance, repair, and emergency services for Cummins-branded generators at VA medical centers and other VA-operated sites. The contract has generated 4 delivery orders totaling approximately $1 million in combined potential value. Two additional Army IDICs (Indefinite Delivery Contracts W9098S15D0001 and W9098S21D0001) have each generated 4 task orders totaling roughly $997 thousand combined potential value for generator parts and overhaul services. A GSA Federal Acquisition Service IDIQ (36C25524D0050) has issued 3 task orders totaling $358 thousand. These vehicles anchor most of the vendor's delivery-order activity and represent the primary avenues for federal task-order competition.

Activity has remained roughly flat across the five-year window — ranging from 8 awards in 2022 to 12 in 2024, with a recent slowdown to 1 award in the first six months of 2026. Four awards with combined potential value of $841 thousand face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, posing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in the VA and Army generator-maintenance domain. The vendor's award footprint is dominated by small-dollar maintenance and parts replacement work; the combined potential value across all 67 awards is $24.2 million, with only $6.7 million obligated to date (28% realization), indicating that many purchase orders and delivery orders remain optionally exercised or partially drawn.

Cummins Sales and Service Division operates overwhelmingly as a prime contractor and does not rely on subcontractors to deliver its work — sub awards represent only 3% of recent activity, and SCI-reported data shows zero subcontractor hour-share across prime service contracts. The vendor subcontracts in a limited capacity: two sub-awards under Nova Group, Inc. (both dated June 2023) for diesel-generator set installation work at Ellsworth Air Force Base represent the only named sub activity in the source data. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor invoiced $251 thousand between FY2022 and FY2024 with less than 1 FTE of annual labor delivery, reflecting that SCI coverage is sparse relative to the purchase-order and equipment-supply volume that dominates Cummins' federal footprint. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable service contracts ran with a median around $232/hr, with senior labor pricing through roughly $290/hr, indicating labor-intensive maintenance-engineering work rather than commodity supply.

Top NAICS categories reflect the goods-and-maintenance mix: Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) Repair and Maintenance (25 awards) and Motor and Generator Manufacturing (12 awards) account for 55% of awards, with General Automotive Repair (9 awards) and Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing (4 awards) filling the remainder. Top PSC codes cluster around electrical power equipment maintenance and generator supply — Maint/Repair/Rebuild Of Equipment, Electric Wire And Power Distribution Equipment (15 awards) and Generators and Generator Sets, Electrical (8 awards) drive 34% of recent work, signaling that generator lifecycle support is the core market position.
