Virginia Crane And Hoist Inc.

Foley Material Handling Co., Inc., based in Ashland, Virginia, manufactures and services overhead cranes, hoists, gantry systems, and related material handling equipment as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis, with no SAM-recorded set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit manufacturer specializing in industrial material handling goods and repair services, registered with the federal government since 2001.

Foley's customer footprint centers on logistics and infrastructure agencies. The National Institute of Standards and Technology accounts for 29 awards (42% of award count), while the Naval Sea Systems Command, NASA, and the Army Corps of Engineers together account for 18 awards and $466 thousand in combined potential value. The concentration by award count and by dollar value diverge markedly — NIST's dominance by volume does not translate to the highest spending tier; instead, Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the top-value ranking with five awards carrying $210 thousand combined potential value. Foley works under four Army indefinite delivery contracts (DAAC0186C0110, DAAC0187C0107, DAAD0588C0107) and one Navy contract (N6247087C8401), each carrying one task order.

Foley's capability portfolio maps to PSC codes reflecting equipment maintenance and manufacturing work. The top PSC categories are maint/repair/rebuild of construction and mining equipment (18 awards), winches, hoists, cranes, and derricks (17 awards), and maint/repair/rebuild of materials handling equipment (5 awards). Top NAICS work falls under overhead traveling crane, hoist, and monorail system manufacturing (10 awards), with secondary work in bearing and transformer manufacturing. Recent representative work includes an August 2025 firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command valued at $125,846.92 for material handling equipment delivery in Chesapeake, Virginia, and an August 2022 Smithsonian Institution purchase order for upper-northwest service work valued at $7,624.41.

Activity is sparse in recent years (one award each in 2022, 2024, and 2025), but the 69-award portfolio spanning back to 1986 and $4.6 million in combined obligations (against $521 thousand in combined potential value) reflects a long-standing supplier relationship with federal customers. Foley subcontracts minimally (1% of awards); one recorded sub-award places the company as a supplier to Huntington Ingalls on CVN 74 refueling and overhaul advance planning work, delivering 3rd deck gantry cranes and hoist brake modifications.
