Graebener Press Systems, Inc.

Graebener Press Systems, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Warwick, Rhode Island, manufactures and services specialized minting presses, coin production automation systems, spare parts, and technical support as the sole prime contractor to the United States Mint. The vendor competes full-and-open without pursuing set-aside designations despite its SBA certification, holding 1,008 prime awards across four decades with no subcontract footprint.

Graebener's federal work is almost entirely concentrated with a single customer. The Department of the Treasury's United States Mint accounts for 919 of 1,008 awards (91% coverage) and $130 million of $137.4 million combined potential value (95% concentration by dollars). This extreme customer concentration reflects Graebener's role as the exclusive supplier of minting press equipment and maintenance services across the Mint's four operational facilities: Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, and West Point. Work spans repair services, new press systems, spare parts procurement, technical training, and facility upgrades. Representative high-dollar delivery orders include two GMP360 Proof Press units (approximately $1.73 million each, awarded November 2022) for San Francisco and West Point; a $964.8 million order for general press systems and services (April 2023); a $380 thousand order for Press 1 repair in Germany (September 2023); Denver Mint press tools ($220 thousand, July 2023); and a $253 thousand Graebener 360 TK press relocation from San Francisco to Denver (June 2026). Smaller awards cluster around MAXIMO component procurement—gripers, hydraulic cylinders, motors, clamping sleeves, and control systems—with individual values typically ranging from $3 thousand to $50 thousand.

The vendor holds or holds positions on multiple parent indefinite delivery contracts. The primary vehicle is IDC 2031JG22D00010, a $25 million single-award contract awarded August 8, 2022, running through August 7, 2027, which has generated 14 documented task orders (combined value $5.7 million within the visible award slice). Two legacy IDCs remain active: TM-HQ-15-C-0049 (33 task orders, $7.9 million combined value) and TM-HQ-10-C-0036 (28 task orders, $18.7 million combined value). A blanket purchase agreement (TM00CIR1024) carries 17 task orders at minimal value. All work is performed at Graebener's Warwick facility or at foreign locations (primarily Germany and occasionally Almanya), with no domestic subcontractor involvement recorded.

Activity has declined notably from historical peaks. Recent awards per year dropped from 55 in 2023 to 21 in 2024, 12 in 2025, and only 4 through mid-2026 (as of the source date July 15, 2026). A recompete cliff of $5.7 million (14 awards) faces completion within the next twenty-four months, primarily tied to the August 2027 expiration of IDC 2031JG22D00010. The vendor's capability portfolio is strictly defined by the Mint's purchasing patterns: the top NAICS code is Machine Tool (Metal Forming Types) Manufacturing (453 awards), followed by general Machine Tool Manufacturing (355 awards); the leading PSC is Hydraulic and Pneumatic Presses, Power Driven (459 awards), with Machine Tool Accessories (194 awards) second. Graebener's federal footprint is, in effect, a single-customer sole-source supply relationship with minimal diversification and significant renewal risk when the 2027 IDC completes.
