Holt Of California

Holt Of California, Inc., doing business as Holt Powersports, is the exclusive Caterpillar heavy equipment dealer for sixteen California counties and operates as a prime contractor providing equipment repair, maintenance, and rental services to federal agencies on full-and-open competitive awards with no set-aside designations. The for-profit organization, headquartered in Pleasant Grove, California, competes across equipment repair (NAICS 332710, commercial and industrial machinery repair), equipment rental (NAICS 532412, construction equipment rental), and related field services.

Holt's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in its core geographic and equipment niche. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) dominates both by award count and dollar value, representing 82 of 176 total awards (46% of awards) and $1.2 million in combined potential value. This concentration reflects Holt's role as the primary Caterpillar maintenance and repair vendor for regional Forest Service fire suppression and land management equipment. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (Veterans Integrated Service Network 21) ranks second by potential value at $377 thousand across two awards for major generator and automatic transfer switch repairs at VA Northern California and VA San Francisco facilities. The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration, the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command, and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons round out the top customer set. Recent prime awards include a $45,576.25 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Forest Service (March 2026) for replacement of dozer tracks on a D6N XL Caterpillar fire dozer (Unit 8273), a $268,330.05 purchase order from VISN 21 for generator and automatic transfer switch maintenance and repair services at VA San Francisco (September 2022), and an $108,847.14 purchase order for major generator repairs at the VA Northern California Health Care System (June 2023).

Holt operates under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule as its primary contracting vehicle, with 36 task orders valued at $824 thousand. The vendor also places rental work through the Hardware Superstore and various blanket purchase agreements. Award activity has remained modest and irregular — six awards in 2022, three in 2023, seven in 2024, and five in 2025 — with combined potential value across all 176 awards reaching $3.6 million. Obligated dollars ($3.9 million) exceed potential value, indicating downward contract modifications or closeouts. Holt subcontracts primarily to Leidos, Inc., supporting science operations and maintenance for the United States Antarctic Program across multiple sustainment funding modifications from 2022 through 2025, and also performs emergency generator work as a sub to Nova Group, Inc. (2022) and equipment rental services as a sub to AECOM-Atkins Joint Venture (2022) and ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics (2024). The vendor's core business remains regional Caterpillar equipment maintenance and rental in support of federal land management, emergency response, and facility operations in Northern California.
