Foley Equipment Company

Foley Equipment Company, doing business as Caterpillar, is a woman-owned, for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Wichita, Kansas that supplies Caterpillar equipment, maintenance, repair, and rental services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing full-and-open with no set-aside utilization across its federal footprint. The vendor operates as an authorized Caterpillar equipment dealer and has held a SAM.gov registration since August 2001.

Foley's federal work centers on Caterpillar generator maintenance, emergency power services, equipment repair, and construction equipment rental and leasing. The vendor's capability portfolio spans maintenance and repair of diesel generators and auxiliary transfer switches, engine overhaul and rebuild (including all-terrain forklift engine assemblies), emergency generator rental, and field service on heavy equipment. Representative prime work includes a $700.5 thousand delivery order (Ordering Period 1, July 2024) from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 for annual and semi-annual Caterpillar generator maintenance under a single-award indefinite delivery contract extending through June 30, 2029; a $49.2 thousand purchase order from U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command (September 2025) for complete rebuild and recondition of a Caterpillar all-terrain forklift engine assembly; and a $107.8 thousand purchase order from VA VISN 15 (May 2023) for emergency generator rental.

Customer concentration is moderate and driven by federal facilities and military-operations customers. The top five customers by award count account for 51% of recent awards, led by GSA Federal Acquisition Service (23 awards, $21 thousand), Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City (23 awards, $5.5 million), and VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 (22 awards, $2.5 million). By potential value, the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City and the main Army Corps of Engineers entity dominate with combined $10.5 million across 28 awards, with VA VISN 15 trailing at $2.5 million. The divergence between award-count and potential-value rankings reflects Foley's high-volume, lower-dollar purchase-order activity with GSA and GSA Advantage, offset by larger single delivery orders and IDC awards under the VA and Corps of Engineers contracts.

Foley holds positions on three primary parent vehicles: Blanket Purchase Agreement W912DQ15A1003 (15 task orders, $270 thousand combined potential value), an Army Corps of Engineers vehicle; Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C25524D0052 (6 task orders, $883 thousand combined potential value); and Blanket Purchase Agreement W912DQ10A1010 (5 task orders, $154 thousand combined potential value). The vendor's primary IDC vehicle with VA VISN 15 — the $714 thousand single-award IDC awarded July 1, 2024 — represents the largest contractual commitment and has activated three ordering periods through June 30, 2029. Activity has been uneven: one award in 2022, one in 2023, five in 2024, four in 2025, and two through mid-2026. Only one award (combined potential value $86 thousand) faces completion within the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete exposure.

The vendor operates almost entirely as a prime (203 of 204 recent awards, or 100%), with a single sub-award documented to ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC on a tree disk mulcher configuration task. SCI-reported invoicing totaled $152 thousand across FY2024–FY2025 (FY2024: $67 thousand across 8.9 FTEs; FY2025: $85 thousand across 0.1 FTEs), with government-paid rates holding steady at $3.60 per hour across both years. The SCI data reflects only service contracts above the $150 thousand threshold and excludes the bulk of Foley's purchase-order volume (tools, equipment rental, repair parts). On the one SCI-reportable prime contract (the VA IDC), subcontractors performed an average of 49 percent of contractor hours, with one named subcontractor accounting for 99 percent of FY2024 sub-hours. Foley's award portfolio spans 30 distinct federal agencies; NAICS concentration runs to Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing (57 awards), Equipment Repair and Maintenance (30 awards), and Construction and Mining Equipment Rental and Leasing (19 awards). Primary PSC codes are Hand Tools Nonedged, Nonpowered (69 awards) and Equipment Maintenance and Repair (28 awards combined), reflecting the vendor's focus on consumable tools, equipment servicing, and field support rather than systems integration or large-scale capital equipment supply.
