Ford-Werke GMBH

Ford-Werke GMBH Direct Sales Department Division, doing business as Ford Motor Company, manufactures and delivers European-specification passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles to the U.S. federal government as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition, with all work performed at its Cologne, Germany facility. The company competes without set-asides across its entire federal portfolio.

Ford-Werke GMBH is a for-profit limited liability partnership and subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, headquartered in Cologne, Germany. As a manufacturer of goods classified under NAICS 336111 (Automobile Manufacturing) and PSC 1410 (Passenger Motor Vehicles), the vendor specializes in sourcing vehicles configured to European specifications for U.S. civilian federal agencies operating overseas. The company has held continuous federal contractor status since 2001, registered in the System for Award Management under UEI DA9DXM9EU5M5.

Customer concentration is sharply defined. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates Ford-Werke GMBH's federal footprint, accounting for 1,244 awards (99% of recent awards by count) and $387.1 million in combined potential value (86% of portfolio dollars). The remaining customer agencies—GSA Civilian Board of Contract Appeals ($26.2 million across 19 awards), GSA proper ($4.1 million), Department of the Army Materiel Command Expeditionary Contracting Command ($841 thousand), and Department of the Army Installation Management Command Europe ($626 thousand)—represent marginal activity. No significant dollar divergence separates the two rankings; GSA FAS anchors both volume and dollars decisively.

Ford-Werke GMBH's parent vehicle strategy centers on indefinite-delivery contracts held directly with GSA FAS. The vendor qualifies on five named IDVs: Indefinite Delivery Contract GS30FX0060 (442 task orders, $28.9 million), 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 (193 task orders, $6.1 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract W912CM05D0009 (57 task orders, $8.4 million). Most recently, the company holds the 2024 OCONUS Vehicle Program, a $169 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded February 14, 2024, and running through February 13, 2029, which enables GSA FAS to procure European-specification passenger vehicles for civilian agencies operating outside the continental United States. Delivery orders under this vehicle carry firm fixed prices ranging from approximately $21,941 to $35,447 per unit, with vehicles including minicompact sedans, compact sport utility vehicles with minimum 2,000 kilogram gross vehicle weight ratings, and compact cargo vans.

Recent work exemplifies Ford-Werke GMBH's narrow capability scope. Representative delivery orders from the 2024 OCONUS Vehicle Program include a $24,159 order (September 23, 2026) for one 4x2 cargo van, compact, Euro-specification; a $26,932 order (September 2, 2026) for a 4x2 van wagon, compact, 5-passenger; a $35,447 order (June 15, 2026) for a 4x4 or all-wheel-drive compact SUV with 5-passenger, 4-door configuration and minimum 2,000 kilogram GVWR; and a $175,995 order (June 3, 2024) for subcompact, 5-passenger, 4-door station wagons. All orders are firm fixed-price, carry no set-aside designation, and call for manufacture and delivery from the vendor's German facilities. The company delivers individual vehicles or small batches to order, with ultimate completion dates typically 6 to 12 months post-award.

Activity trajectory shows volatile recent growth after a downward period. Awards per calendar year tracked at 50 (2022), 81 (2023), declining to 28 (2024) and 28 (2025), then surging to 138 (2026)—a recovery driven by increased GSA FAS delivery order volume under the 2024 OCONUS program. Combined potential value across the 1,405 awards in the portfolio totals $448.2 million, with $138.3 million obligated to date (31% of potential). Ford-Werke GMBH has no subcontractor footprint; 100% of recent awards are prime.

Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is modest: 158 awards (combined potential value $5.1 million) reach ultimate completion within that window. However, the primary recompete driver is renewal or successor vehicle program awards tied to GSA FAS's periodic vehicle procurement competitions, particularly surrounding the 2024 OCONUS Vehicle Program and its successor IDV competitions. The vendor's position on GSA's fleet vehicle programs and its established German manufacturing infrastructure position it competitively for future civilian overseas vehicle procurement.
