Delaware Elevator, Inc.

Delaware Elevator, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Salisbury, Maryland, delivers elevator installation, maintenance, repair, and modernization services to the federal government as a prime contractor (86% of awards), competing primarily on full-and-open basis without set-aside designation. The company operates two subsidiaries—Delaware Elevator Manufacturing Corporation and Delaware Elevator Of Florida, Inc.—and maintains active GSA Schedule labor categories across the elevator services spectrum, ranging from Elevator Apprentice at $101.64 per hour through Elevator Inspector at $213.06 per hour.

Delaware Elevator's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward two agencies. The Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations leads by far (27 awards, $28.4 million combined potential value), supporting the Worldwide Protective Services program at diplomatic facilities globally with elevator maintenance, repair, and inspection services. The Department of the Treasury's United States Mint ranks second (7 awards, $19.9 million combined potential value) and anchors the company's most significant vehicle—an $8 million single-award indefinite delivery contract executed September 29, 2021, for elevator modernization across Mint production facilities. Three delivery orders have been issued under this vehicle, collectively valued at $4.6 million, focused on freight elevator modernization at San Francisco and Salisbury locations with completion stretching through September 2026. The Department of the Interior's National Park Service (12 awards, $275 thousand), the Department of the Navy (7 awards, $682 thousand with Naval Sea Systems Command), and the Department of the Air Force's Air Mobility Command (12 awards, $160 thousand) represent smaller customer segments. The top five customers by potential value account for 95% of combined potential value across all awards.

Delaware Elevator's primary vehicle position sits on two indefinite delivery contracts. The $8 million U.S. Mint single-award vehicle (2031JG21D00036) carries three task orders ($4.6 million combined). A multiple-award indefinite delivery contract with the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations, most recently refreshed April 6, 2026, carries a $750,000 ceiling with partial small business set-aside and has generated two delivery orders in May 2026 totaling $694,510 for elevator inspection and China maintenance work priced on time and materials. An older indefinite delivery vehicle with the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations (F0760302D0002) has generated 10 task orders for $42 thousand. Delaware Elevator also maintains a presence on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (7 task orders, $199 thousand) and holds positions on at least two additional Air Force and Army indefinite delivery vehicles (19AQMM20D0136 and W56ZTN20D0003) with six and three task orders respectively.

Activity has remained modest but stable. The company recorded 124 total awards (prime and sub combined) with $52 million combined potential value and $42.1 million obligated (81% of potential). Over the past five years, annual award counts have fluctuated (4 in 2022, 10 in 2023, 14 in 2024, 4 in 2025, 3 in 2026 year-to-date), showing no clear trend. Only 2 awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $3.2 million, representing minimal recompete exposure near term. In its subcontractor role (14% of awards), Delaware Elevator performs elevator supply and installation work under larger construction primes, including ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics LLC (Goddard Space Flight Center repairs, operations, and maintenance), The Nutmeg Companies (elevator modernization), R.A. Burch Construction (hydraulic elevator), Vigor Marine (USNS Mercy elevator repairs), RQ-AECOM 2 JV (Charleston Coast Guard base facility), Korte Construction (GBSD facility), Manhattan Construction (ANCSE Phase II), Stampede Ventures (elevator service and maintenance), and Bering Global Solutions (elevator maintenance and repair).

Service Contract Inventory reports sparse activity above the $150,000 threshold: 13 total SCI records (8 prime, 5 sub) across FY2022–FY2024 with zero dollars invoiced in SCI-reportable form, suggesting most of Delaware Elevator's federal work falls below SCI reporting thresholds or operates as firm-fixed-price delivery orders that do not trigger labor-hour SCI capture. FTE trajectory shows minimal labor reported in SCI (1.0 FTEs in FY2022, 0 in FY2023, 2.0 in FY2024), confirming SCI captures only a fragment of the company's federal services footprint. The company does not subcontract on its prime SCI records (0% average sub-hours share), indicating direct delivery of elevator services without reliance on named subcontractors for labor-intensive work.
