Gregory Poole Equipment Company

Gregory Poole Equipment Company, doing business as Caterpillar Authorized Dealer, is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Raleigh, North Carolina, operating as a prime contractor (98% of awards) supplying heavy equipment sales, rentals, parts, and maintenance services to federal agencies across 65 customer organizations. The company competes on full-and-open basis across its prime portfolio — no set-aside designations recur systematically, though a small number of individual awards carry Total Small Business set-asides. Gregory Poole holds no SBA certifications or ownership designations.

The vendor's concrete capability footprint centers on Caterpillar equipment support, diesel engine and generator maintenance, material handling equipment repair, and marine machinery systems work. Representative prime awards include a $980,000 delivery order from the U.S. Coast Guard for CGC Hickory Caterpillar maintenance (November 2023), a $577,110 delivery order for CGC Caterpillar engine repair services (June 2024), a $418,329 delivery order for CGC Barbara Mabrity Caterpillar maintenance (January 2025), a $292,795 purchase order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 for preventive maintenance on Caterpillar and Kohler emergency generators at Fayetteville VA Medical Center running through August 2031 (August 2026), and a $12 million ten-year Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 for heavy equipment maintenance and repair across 12 southeastern states and territories, awarded August 2025 and running through August 2035. Work is performed across multiple locations including maritime shipyards, federal facilities, and regional service centers spanning the Southeast and nationwide.

Customer concentration is extreme and heavily maritime-focused. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard dominates with 158 awards valued at $20.4 million combined potential value — 29% of all recent awards and 38% of total potential value. The next tier includes Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (27 awards, $2 million), the Department of the Navy (9 awards, $2 million), Federal Correctional Complex Butner (23 awards, $1.4 million), and the U.S. Marine Corps (77 awards, $1.3 million). These five customers represent 45% of award count but 50% of combined potential value. The Coast Guard relationship is the primary revenue anchor — Gregory Poole holds multiple Coast Guard indefinite delivery contracts and executes numerous delivery orders for vessel engine maintenance, generator support, and machinery systems repair.

Vehicle positioning reflects the concentration. Gregory Poole places task orders against five principal IDCs: IDC 70Z08521DP4501900 (27 task orders, $5.2 million), IDC M6700107A1054 (24 task orders, $156 thousand), IDC HSCG8512DP30511 (21 task orders, $620 thousand), IDC HSCG8516DP45938 (12 task orders, $2.2 million), and IDC M6700104A0038 (11 task orders, $37 thousand). The BPA with DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 is a newly established ten-year vehicle with a $12 million ceiling. The company also operates under multiple Coast Guard indefinite delivery vehicles valued at $500,000 and $1,710,100 for machinery control system maintenance on 175-foot buoy tenders.

Activity has remained stable over the past five years — 17 awards in 2022, 27 in 2023, 26 in 2024, 28 in 2025, and 11 year-to-date in 2026. Only three awards (combined potential value $165 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete cliff exposure in the near term. The combined potential value across 685 total awards is $54 million, with $40.9 million (76%) obligated to date.

Gregory Poole operates primarily as a prime contractor but maintains a modest subcontracting footprint under Huntington Ingalls Inc. and HII Mission Technologies Corp on CVN-class carrier construction and advanced planning work, delivering forklift procurement and field support. The company also subs to Lockheed Martin on operational logistics and to Battelle Memorial Institute on research support, providing equipment and machinery components or services in specialized environments.

The vendor's award portfolio reflects classic heavy equipment dealership and repair specialization — 151 awards fall under ship building and repair (primarily Coast Guard cutter and vessel work), 115 under commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance, 61 under other engine equipment manufacturing, and 46 under construction and mining machinery wholesale. The top PSC codes are non-nuclear ship repair (76 awards), earth moving and excavating equipment (41 awards), maintenance and repair of construction/mining equipment (30 awards), diesel engines (27 awards), and warehouse trucks and tractors (24 awards). This category concentration underscores Gregory Poole's positioning as a specialized vendor for maritime and heavy-equipment support rather than a generalist federal contractor.
