Ford-Werke GMBH

Ford-Werke GMBH, operating its Direct Sales Department as Ford Motor Company, manufactures and delivers European-specification passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles to the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service as a prime contractor under full-and-open, non-set-aside delivery orders. This German subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, headquartered in Cologne, competes exclusively without small business designations and has generated $448 million in combined potential value across 1,392 prime awards since the mid-1980s, with $138 million obligated to date. Ford-Werke GMBH is a for-profit manufacturer classified under NAICS automobile manufacturing and related categories, primarily delivering vehicles under PSC code for passenger motor vehicles.

The vendor's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in civilian vehicle procurement. GSA's Federal Acquisition Service accounts for 1,231 awards carrying $386.9 million in combined potential value—86% of recent activity by both count and dollars. The General Services Administration Civilian Board of Contract Appeals places 19 awards worth $26.2 million. The Department of the Army Materiel Command's Expeditionary Contracting Command Regional Contracting Office in Wiesbaden has awarded 64 orders valued at $841 thousand. The remaining customer base (General Services Administration, Department of the Army Installation Management Command Europe Region) comprises less than 1% of dollars. All work is performed in Germany, where Ford-Werke GMBH manufactures vehicles to order.

Ford-Werke GMBH holds a multi-year position on several GSA vehicle indefinite-delivery contracts. The vendor's largest active vehicle is the 2024 OCONUS Vehicle Program, a $169 million indefinite-delivery contract through February 2029 that the Federal Acquisition Service uses to procure European-specification passenger vehicles for civilian agencies operating outside the continental United States. Individual delivery orders under this IDV typically range from $24,000 to $35,000 per vehicle and specify minicompact sedans (4-passenger, 4-door), compact sport utility vehicles (4x4 or all-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, minimum 2,000 kilogram gross vehicle weight rating), and compact cargo vans. Other active parent vehicles include Indefinite Delivery Contract GS30FX0060 (442 task orders, $28.9 million combined value), GSA Fleet Vehicles Europe 2017 (349 task orders, $30.1 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract 47QMCA20D004H (256 task orders, $20.6 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract 47QMCA24D0008 (180 task orders, $5.8 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract W912CM05D0009 supporting Army procurements (57 task orders, $8.4 million). All awards carry firm fixed-price structures with no set-aside designations.

Ford-Werke GMBH's activity has grown sharply in recent periods, with 2026 seeing 125 awards compared to 28 in both 2024 and 2025, and 81 in 2023. Within the next twenty-four months, 125 awards with combined potential value of $3.5 million are scheduled for completion, indicating upcoming recompete exposure. The vendor does not operate as a subcontractor; its footprint is 100% prime awards. The company competes across full-and-open civilian and military vehicle acquisition programs without pursuing or holding small business set-asides, positioning itself as a direct manufacturer-to-buyer supplier for overseas vehicle fleet standardization rather than as a domestic subcontractor or set-aside participant.
