Grove U.s. LLC

Grove U.S. LLC, doing business as Grove US LLC and a subsidiary of The Manitowoc Company, Inc., manufactures and supplies mobile hydraulic cranes, heavy equipment, crane components, and related lifting solutions to the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open (non-set-aside) federal contracts. The company competes exclusively without set-aside designations, operates as a large business, and is based in Shady Grove, Pennsylvania.

Grove's federal footprint centers on defense equipment procurement, with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Construction and Equipment division dominating the customer base. The top five funding sources by potential value account for 91% of recent award volume: DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment leads with 195 awards and $1.16 billion combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Army's Program Executive Office for Combat Support and Combat Service Support (60 awards, $377.3 million), the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (167 awards, $52.3 million), DLA Troop Support Hardware (44 awards, $35.4 million), and DLA Land and Maritime (1,165 awards, $35 million). Award count and dollar concentration diverge sharply: DLA Land and Maritime places the most orders (1,165 awards) but carries the smallest dollar value, while DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment anchors the value base with fewer orders (195) that carry significantly larger individual ceiling values—task orders for truck cranes, rough terrain cranes, crawler cranes, and all-terrain cranes frequently range from $400 thousand to over $6 million each.

The vendor holds two primary Indefinite Delivery Contracts: a $266.9 million IDC with DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment running through August 2027 that serves as the foundation for recurring crane and heavy equipment delivery orders, and a $250 thousand single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for control valves and related hydraulic components. Below these anchors sit several hundred BPAs and smaller IDCs, primarily through GSA's Federal Acquisition Service (GS07FQGRUS and GS07FGRVSQ BPAs generate 970 and 569 task orders respectively, though at nominal per-order values), and specialized Army IDCs for vehicular parts kits and crane sustainment services. The vendor also holds a five-year crane maintenance and repair contract with Naval Sea Systems Command at Norfolk Naval Shipyard through January 2029, valued at $199.3 thousand for the base period with four one-year option periods.

Recent prime contract work demonstrates Grove's full scope: a $6.1 million crawler crane delivery order from DLA (October 2024), a $2.9 million all-terrain crane delivery order (September 2024), a $1.6 million truck crane delivery order (April 2024), a $1.5 million crane wheel-mounted equipment contract from Army Contracting Command Warren (April 2025), a $2.8 million Forward Repair System crane assembly contract from Army Contracting Command Rock Island (June 2024), a $1.3 million vehicular parts kit delivery order from the Army (July 2024), and a $4.9 million crane contract from Air Force Materiel Command for Eglin Air Force Base (November 2023). Smaller task orders for wire rope, control valves, instruction plates, and crane-related components round out the portfolio—these range from tens of dollars to tens of thousands and reflect sustained demand across DLA's distributed procurement network. The vendor also furnishes interim contractor logistics support (ICLS) for Type II heavy cranes to Army Program Executive Office Combat Support and Combat Service Support, with two multi-month task orders in 2024 totaling over $500 thousand.

Activity has declined significantly from prior years: 162 awards in 2022, 122 in 2023, 130 in 2024, falling to 51 in 2025 and 20 through mid-2026 (reflecting a partial-year snapshot). Combined potential value across 4,091 awards totals $1.83 billion, with only $426.9 million obligated to date (23%). Fifteen awards with ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $15.8 million, presenting recompete exposure or contract-churn risk for Grove.

The vendor serves as a subcontractor to Oshkosh Defense LLC on the Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (FHTV) IV and FHTV V contracts, supplying hydraulic components and assemblies for military truck platforms. Recent sub awards include hydraulics kit deliveries for M1075A2S and M1075A1S trucks, M983A4 and M984A4 variants, and Taiwan tranche 2 replenishment vehicles, all dated 2025 and carrying FPIF and FFP pricing structures under Oshkosh's parent contracts. This subcontract channel generates recurring orders aligned with military vehicle production schedules and reflects Grove's role in the defense industrial base as a critical hydraulic-systems supplier alongside its standalone crane-procurement mission.

Primary NAICS categories are Sign Manufacturing (1,081 awards), Construction Machinery Manufacturing (599 awards), and Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing (578 awards)—the distribution reflects the broad portfolio of instruction plates, cranes, and equipment parts the company supplies. The top PSC categories are Signs, Advertising Displays, and Identification Plates (2,201 awards—predominantly low-dollar GSA orders), Earth Moving and Excavating Equipment (201 awards), and Hose and Flexible Tubing (170 awards).
