Hartwig, Inc.

Hartwig, Inc., doing business as Hartwig Inc., is a Missouri-based machine tool distributor that sells precision metalworking equipment, repair services, and installation support to federal agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards). Operating as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation since 2005, Hartwig competes in full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal footprint. The company specializes in Okuma and Okamoto brand computer numerical control (CNC) equipment — lathes, turning centers, surface grinders, and related machinery — along with preventative maintenance, emergency repair, and equipment relocation services. Hartwig brings over 60 years of industry experience in precision metalworking equipment support.

Customer concentration is extreme and inelastic. The Department of the Treasury's United States Mint represents 85 of 134 total awards (63%) and $22.1 million of $30.8 million in combined potential value (72%). The top five customers account for 84% of awards by count and 95% by potential value, with the second-largest customer, the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex, representing only eight awards and $3.4 million — a ten-fold gap in order volume and a six-fold gap in dollars. The Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, another Air Force entity, contributes eleven awards worth $473 thousand. Hartwig's reliance on the Mint is structural; the customer concentration exceeds typical prime-contractor patterns and reflects a specialized equipment supplier locked into a narrow customer base.

Hartwig places task orders under two named IDVs: an Indefinite Delivery Contract (TMHQ16C0009) carrying 14 task orders worth $11.7 million combined potential value, and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (FA822423D0007) with one task order. Representative prime work includes a $3.188 million delivery order from the Mint for hard turning centers at Philadelphia Mint (completion date August 23, 2026), a $244.4 thousand purchase order for 3-axis lathe modifications at the Mint (March 31, 2024), a $276.9 thousand purchase order for an Okamoto OD-ID grinder delivered to the Mint (April 30, 2023), and a $91.9 thousand delivery order for Hartwig Hard Turning Centers equipment relocation to the Philadelphia Mint facility (September 26, 2027). Recent activity shows sharp contraction: eleven awards in 2022, declining to four in 2023, two in 2024, six in 2025, and one in 2026 year-to-date. Only two awards (combined potential value $3.3 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.

Hartwig subcontracts to primes including Triad National Security LLC (Los Alamos National Laboratory management and operating contract sub-work for industrial fixtures and contingent labor, multiple awards in 2025), STS Systems Defense LLC (landing gear industrial plant equipment support at Hill Air Force Base, April 2025), and Southwest Research Institute (a May 2026 sub-award for hypersonics supply chain research involving a high-rail gantry five-axis milling machine). Sub-work represents only 4% of the portfolio and covers specialty equipment procurement and installation rather than ongoing service delivery. Hartwig's capability set centers on Okuma and Okamoto equipment distribution, maintenance, repair, and specialized installation — a portfolio that maps cleanly to NAICS codes in industrial machinery wholesale (28 awards), machine tool manufacturing (25 awards), and machine shops (14 awards).
