Cummins Power Generation Inc.

Cummins Power Generation Inc., a subsidiary of Cummins Inc., manufactures diesel and natural gas power generation equipment—primarily advanced mobile generator sets, diesel engines, and digital control systems—as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal procurement. The company operates exclusively outside set-aside categories and competes on unrestricted vehicles, holding major single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Department of Defense valued at nearly $1 billion combined.

Cummins Power Generation is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota (with operations in Fridley and Spring Lake Park) and functions as a child entity of Columbus, Indiana-based Cummins Inc., a global manufacturer of power technology. The division operates under primary NAICS 332711 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing) and PSC 5820 (Generators and Generator Sets, Electrical), competing in full-and-open procurements where Cummins is frequently the sole approved source for Advanced Medium Mobile Power Sources (AMMPS) systems and related spare parts to the U.S. military.

The customer footprint is heavily concentrated in defense. The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center's Program Executive Office for Combat Support & Combat Service Support (PEO CSCSS) anchors the portfolio: 49 awards valued at $2.98 billion in combined potential value represent 74 percent of the total dollars across Cummins Power Generation's entire federal award base. The United States Marine Corps ranks second with 55 awards worth $189 million, followed by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command with 23 awards valued at $97.1 million. By award count, the Department of the Air Force leads (353 awards), but the dollars are concentrated in the Army's expeditionary power programs.

Cummins Power Generation anchors its business on two flagship indefinite delivery vehicles. The larger is a $459 million single-award IDIQ with PEO CSCSS (award date February 21, 2024, completion February 7, 2033) for production and delivery of AMMPS generator sets in 5–60 kilowatt configurations. Since award, nine delivery orders have been issued ranging from $590,765 to $32.7 million, with nine additional orders placed through January 2026 totaling approximately $73 million. The second is a $75 million single-award IDIQ with the Army Communications Electronics Command (award date May 8, 2023, completion May 7, 2028) for spare parts supporting AMMPS—diesel engines, alternating current generators, and digital control boxes. Sixteen delivery orders have been issued against this vehicle since May 2023, totaling approximately $9.4 million. A newly awarded $500 million single-award IDIQ with PEO CSCSS (December 15, 2025, completion December 11, 2035) procures 500 kilowatt Mobile Electric Power Generator Sets (MEPGS-10001 and MEPGS-35001) for the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) program; a $15.3 million delivery order was issued immediately upon award. Additionally, Cummins Power Generation holds a $3.8 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (award May 15, 2023, completion May 14, 2028) for power training courses, with four task order calls issued.

Representative recent prime work includes a $32.7 million AMMPS generator set delivery order from PEO CSCSS (March 20, 2024), a $2.9 million digital control box delivery order from Army Communications Electronics Command (February 20, 2026), a $15.3 million order for MEPGS generator sets for LTAMDS (December 15, 2025), a $23.4 million AMMPS production delivery order from PEO CSCSS (February 18, 2025), and multiple smaller component orders for diesel engines and generators. Training work includes BPA calls from Air Combat Command for PATS (Power Assurance Test Set) and AMMPS courses, with individual call values ranging from $19,950 to $249,732.

Cummins Power Generation's subcontract footprint is minimal—only 15 sub-awards (1 percent of total activity)—and reflects downstream supplier roles rather than core power generation work. Named prime contractors include Atlantic Diving Supply (multiple sub-awards for expeditionary spares kits and marine propulsion engines), Alutiiq Information Management (equipment maintenance training coordination for State Department overseas building operations), Boeing (aerospace support task orders), CACI Federal (Naval Undersea Warfare Center engineering support), and S&K Aerospace (common stock equipment sourcing). These sub relationships are ancillary to the division's primary defense power systems business.

The federal supply schedules also anchor volume. The division holds position on Federal Supply Schedule GS07F9004D with 1,248 task orders and $57.3 million in combined potential value, though this vehicle carries smaller per-order values and serves as a secondary procurement channel for commercial-off-the-shelf generators and components.

Activity has remained steady year-over-year—13 to 27 awards annually since 2022—with 14 awards (combined potential value $87 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure concentrated in spare parts orders and smaller generator procurements. All recent prime awards carry firm fixed-price pricing and no set-aside designation, reflecting Cummins Power Generation's market position as an original equipment manufacturer for AMMPS and related systems where competition is either restricted to approved sources or open but non-competitive due to technical specifications. Place of performance on all major contracts is Fridley, Minnesota.
