Herc Rentals Inc.

Herc Rentals Inc., a large for-profit equipment rental company headquartered in Bonita Springs, Florida, supplies short-term equipment and vehicle rentals to federal agencies as a prime contractor across the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) and direct awards, with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal portfolio. The company operates on a full-and-open competitive basis, holding a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Naval Sea Systems Command valued at $33.5 million through August 31, 2026, for material handling equipment rentals supporting naval shipyard operations at Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia, and maintains extensive presence across 158 distinct federal customer agencies through 2,986 prime awards (98% of total activity).

Herc Rentals' core federal capability centers on flexible, on-demand rental of aerial lifts, cranes, forklifts (6,000 to 55,000 pound capacities), excavators, aerial work platforms (up to 150 feet), generators, vacuum trucks, telehandlers, skid steer loaders, and motor vehicles. Recent representative work includes a $680,205 delivery order from GSA Federal Acquisition Service for equipment rental at Fort Knox, Kentucky (awarded May 11, 2026, under GSA MAS); a $603,369 delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command for material handling equipment forklift rentals at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (awarded October 1, 2025, under the NAVSEA IDC); and a $558,389 delivery order from GSA Federal Acquisition Service for equipment support in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (awarded February 9, 2026, under GSA MAS). Individual delivery orders under the NAVSEA IDC have ranged from approximately $14,600 to $1.08 million, with cumulative execution exceeding $15 million since the contract's November 2021 award. The company has also performed equipment rentals as a subcontractor to Mantech Advanced Systems International, Bechtel National, and Amentum Technology, supporting programs including the NASA Space Launch System Mobile Launcher 2, Department of Energy Environmental Management deactivation and decommissioning projects, and Army and Air Force test and evaluation activities.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward GSA Federal Acquisition Service, which accounts for 1,688 awards ($172.9 million combined potential value, 55% of total potential value across all customer agencies). Naval Sea Systems Command is the second-largest customer by award count (339 awards, $73.4 million) and represents Herc Rentals' most substantial single contract vehicle through the NAICSEA IDC; however, Navy Facilities Engineering Command contributes $112.5 million in potential value across just 24 awards, reflecting larger individual task orders for facility-wide rental programs. The top five customer agencies account for 77% of recent awards. Recent activity shows awards per year averaging 213 annually over the past five years, with 442 awards in 2024 (peak volume) declining to 106 through mid-2026; 106 awards totaling $9.9 million face completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure.

Herc Rentals' primary parent vehicles are the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (2,039 task orders, $106.2 million potential value), two additional Navy indefinite delivery contracts (N0018798D8837 with 199 task orders and N4008517D1132 with 157 task orders and $23.8 million potential value), and GSA's Hardware Superstore vehicle (266 task orders, $6.3 million potential value). The company's award footprint spans general rental centers (1,374 awards), passenger car leasing (617 awards), and construction/mining equipment rental (191 awards) across primary PSC codes for material handling equipment rental (916 awards) and ground-effect and motor vehicle rental (860 awards). Herc Rentals' subcontract footprint includes work on Department of Energy cleanup programs, NASA space exploration infrastructure, Department of Defense testing operations, and Army Materiel Command projects; no recurring prime subcontracting relationships with major defense primes are evident in the source data, indicating subcontract work is episodic and project-specific. The company has received no adverse actions, past performance markings, or set-aside designations across its prime portfolio, reflecting established competitive market position in federal equipment rentals since System for Award Management registration in June 2001.
