H.o. Penn Machinery Company, Inc.

H.O. Penn Machinery Company, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Poughkeepsie, New York, operates as a Caterpillar equipment dealer specializing in diesel generator maintenance, repair, parts procurement, and emergency power system support for federal agencies as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders across 23 distinct customer agencies. The company competes under full and open competition with no set-aside designations and operates with over 90 years of operational history as an authorized Caterpillar retailer.

H.O. Penn's federal work centers on emergency and preventive generator maintenance, equipment repair, and parts supply. Representative prime work includes a $719.9 million ceiling contract awarded December 21, 2025 by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 for diesel generator and equipment maintenance and storage services at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in Bronx, New York through December 20, 2029 (sole-source award justified under FAR 13.501(a) citing H.O. Penn's authorization as a regional Caterpillar dealer and ability to preserve existing warranty coverage); a $766.6 million ceiling contract awarded August 15, 2023 by Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 for diesel generator maintenance service at the same facility through August 14, 2028 with four one-year option periods; and a $952.7 million definitive contract awarded November 26, 2021 by the Department of the Navy United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) for emergency diesel generator troubleshooting and repair in support of the SSN 774 Virginia Class Submarine program in Poquonock Bridge, Connecticut.

Customer concentration is sharp. The top two funding agencies account for 44% of awards by count but 54% by combined potential value: Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (35 awards, $4.4 million combined potential value) and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn (20 awards, $706 thousand). Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 anchors the second tier at $980 thousand across 9 awards, followed by the Department of the Navy United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) at $959 thousand across 3 awards. The Navy's three awards, though small in count, carry outsized dollars — reflecting H.O. Penn's Virginia Class Submarine support work. The VA dominates: Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network organizations collectively represent the majority of H.O. Penn's pipeline.

H.O. Penn's parent contract vehicles are agency-specific IDIQs and BPAs with limited task-order volume. The source names four parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract 70RSAT18D00000001 (2 task orders), DAAE0785C1655 (1 task order), DAAE0786C1813 (1 task order), and N6238181C0057 (1 task order). H.O. Penn does not carry seats on government-wide IDIQs or GWACs; it wins work through direct purchase orders and agency-specific IDVs, primarily at the VA and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons.

Award activity has remained modest and flat. H.O. Penn averaged 6 awards per year over the past five years (2022: 9 awards; 2023: 5 awards; 2024: 6 awards; 2025: 7 awards; 2026: 3 awards to date), with a combined potential value of $8.9 million across 177 total awards in the source data spanning back to 1980. Two awards totaling $693 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete risk. The company obligated $8.8 million (99% of combined potential value) against awards, indicating strong execution and invoicing against its standing contracts.

H.O. Penn maintains a minor subcontract footprint. Three sub-awards place it under Electric Boat Corporation on SSN 804 construction (awarded September 19, 2024) and under Asrc Federal Field Services, LLC on two task-order modifications (February 12, 2024 and August 7, 2024) for service delivery under prime contracts. The company's corporate structure includes a subsidiary, H.O. Penn Leasing, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company that likely supports the generator rental and leasing services referenced across the contract portfolio.

By category concentration, H.O. Penn's work splits across commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance (59 awards), construction and mining machinery merchant wholesale (13 awards), and other commercial and industrial machinery rental and leasing (11 awards). PSC concentration centers on generators and generator sets (15 awards), maintenance and repair of electrical power distribution equipment (15 awards), and miscellaneous equipment maintenance (13 awards). The breadth of NAICS and PSC coding reflects H.O. Penn's dual role as a parts supplier and maintenance provider across the federal generator and backup power infrastructure.
