Dekra Automobil GMBH

Dekra Automobil GMBH, a for-profit organization headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, provides safety inspection and testing services for pressurized equipment at U.S. military installations in Europe as a prime contractor under a single-award blanket purchase agreement with the U.S. Air Forces Europe and Africa. The vendor operates entirely outside small business set-asides and competes on a full-and-open basis; all eight awards in the federal footprint derive from direct, non-set-aside procurements.

Dekra Automobil GMBH's federal capability is narrowly focused on inspections, testing, and certification of air receiver and water pressure tanks supporting facility maintenance and safety compliance at the Kaiserslautern Military Community in Germany. The vendor holds a single parent BPA (FA561324A0019) awarded by Air Forces Europe and Africa on June 12, 2024, with a ten-year performance period through June 12, 2034 and a $400,000 ceiling. Seven BPA task orders issued between May 2025 and March 2026 drove recent activity, with representative calls including a $3,632.83 August 2025 task order for air receiver and water pressure tank safety inspections and a $3,224.77 January 2026 call requiring safety inspection, initial acceptance, and reinstallation testing of the same equipment.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of the Air Force's U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Africa accounts for all eight awards and the full $412 thousand combined potential value across the federal footprint. The awards split between NAICS Building Inspection Services (8 awards) and PSC codes for housekeeping and equipment testing (5 and 3 awards respectively). Activity has grown from one award in 2024 to five in 2025 and two in 2026 to date, but obligated dollars remain minimal at $12 thousand against a potential-value ceiling of $412 thousand — a 3% obligated-to-potential ratio indicating that work is being tasked incrementally under the BPA rather than as large single purchases. Place of performance is Germany at the Kaiserslautern Military Community, a major U.S. military installation. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract activity in the source data, and maintains no presence on government-wide vehicles or multi-award contract schedules.
