Emar Corporation

Emar Corporation, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Washington, West Virginia, provides elevator inspection, maintenance, repair, and modernization services to federal facilities as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing predominantly under small-business set-asides and full-and-open vehicles. The company has held federal contracts since 2002 and operates across West Virginia, Ohio, and Virginia through relationships with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Prisons.

Emar's customer base concentrates heavily with the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, which accounts for 97% of recent awards and $2.5 million in combined potential value across 24 awards. The Huntington District of the Corps of Engineers is the largest single customer by award count (9 awards), while the Pittsburgh District, awarded a new $250,000 blanket purchase agreement in February 2026, represents the second-largest potential value. The Bureau of Prisons' Federal Correctional Institution Gilmer awarded Emar a $240,000 firm fixed-price purchase order in March 2026 for emergency elevator repairs, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with completion targeted for July 29, 2026. The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains a minor footprint with two awards totaling $12,000.

Emar holds two parent vehicles. The primary vehicle is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W9123721D0015) with the Army Corps of Engineers, Huntington District, valued up to $1 million and running through May 31, 2026, from which 17 delivery orders have been issued with combined potential value of $277,000. Recent delivery orders under this IDC include a $60,200 order for elevator inspections, testing, and maintenance plans at multiple Huntington District project sites (awarded February 10, 2025), a $20,165.52 order for rope brake pump unit replacement at Justice, West Virginia (awarded August 29, 2025), and a $2,900 order for elevator inspection and testing at East Lynn Lake (awarded May 21, 2025). The second vehicle is a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (W9123717A0020) with the Pittsburgh District, awarded February 6, 2026, for $250,000 through January 31, 2029, from which one task order of $2,000 has been issued.

Activity has declined from a peak of nine awards in 2022 to two awards in 2026, with only one award (the $240,000 FCI Gilmer purchase order) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete exposure. Emar operates as a prime-only vendor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The company's service portfolio centers on firm fixed-price elevator components and systems work — motor control equipment, door operators, governors, ropes, counterweights, safety devices, and load testing — at dams, locks, lakes, and federal detention facilities across the Huntington, Pittsburgh, and surrounding districts of the Corps of Engineers' operational footprint.
