Grove U.s. LLC

Grove U.S. LLC, a subsidiary of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. and a for-profit Limited Liability Company based in Shady Grove, Pennsylvania, manufactures and supplies mobile hydraulic cranes, heavy equipment, and lifting solutions to the Department of Defense and civilian federal agencies as a large business prime contractor competing on full-and-open federal procurements with no socioeconomic set-aside designations.

Grove operates almost entirely as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards by count), with a $1.83 billion combined potential value across 4,104 awards spanning nearly three decades of federal contracting. The company's federal footprint is dominated by two Defense Logistics Agency customers that collectively anchor 91% of recent combined potential value by the source's ranking: DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment holds Grove's flagship $266.9 million Indefinite Delivery Contract running through August 2027, which has generated sustained crane procurement activity including a $6.1 million crawler crane order (October 2024), multiple $2.0 million to $2.8 million all-terrain and truck crane orders (March to September 2025), and numerous mid-range orders ($250,000 to $1.2 million each). DLA Land and Maritime ranks first by award count (1,165 awards) but carries far lower dollar volume ($35 million combined potential value), reflecting the agency's reliance on small GSA schedule and blanket purchase agreement orders for instruction plates, weather strips, and miscellaneous parts. The Department of the Army and its subordinate commands (including Materiel Command Sustainment Command and PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support) represent the third-largest customer concentration; the Army Contracting Command Warren awarded Grove definitive contracts for truck-mounted cranes on Heavy Expanded Tactical Trucks ($793.9 thousand, June 2025) and wheel-mounted cranes ($1.5 million, April 2025), while PEO CSCSS placed multiple interim contractor logistics support task orders for Type II heavy crane maintenance and repair parts (ranging from $7 thousand to $311.5 thousand across 2024).

Grove's vehicle position centers on DLA's $266.9 million IDC for cranes and heavy equipment (the dominant parent vehicle by dollar value), supplemented by a $250 thousand single-award DLA Land and Maritime IDC for control valves, and dozens of GSA Federal Acquisition Service Blanket Purchase Agreements for instruction plates and miscellaneous hardware. The company's top two BPA vehicles (GS07FQGRUS with 970 task orders and GS07FGRVSQ with 569 task orders) carry negligible individual order values but represent high-frequency transactional activity typical of GSA schedule ordering. Activity has declined year over year—from 162 awards in 2022 to 33 in 2026 to date—though this reflects the source's truncation window; the 203 delivery orders under the primary DLA IDC demonstrate sustained large-dollar engagement.

In its subcontractor role, Grove supplies hydraulic systems and components to Oshkosh Defense LLC on Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (FHTV) requirements contracts, with seven named sub-awards spanning January 2025 through June 2026 for hydraulic kits supporting M1075A series, M985A4, M1076A, M984A4 wrecker, and M983A4 tractor deliveries, including a notable 32-unit M1075A1S and 8-unit M985A4 GMTS platform order (June 2026). The subcontract work positions Grove as a critical hydraulic component supplier to the Army's heavy tactical vehicle ecosystem.

Recompete exposure stands at 13 awards ($13.2 million combined potential value) completing in the next twenty-four months, concentrated among smaller-value DLA Land and Maritime and GSA schedule vehicles rather than the primary crane IDC, which extends through August 2027. The company's NAICS concentration spans Sign Manufacturing (1,081 awards—primarily GSA schedule work), Construction Machinery Manufacturing (611 awards), and Industrial Truck and Trailer Machinery Manufacturing (578 awards), with top PSC codes dominated by Signs and Identification Plates (2,205 awards) and Earth Moving and Excavating Equipment (209 awards), reflecting both high-volume low-dollar GSA transactional work and discrete large-value crane procurement through DLA.
