Hyster-Yale Group, Inc.

Hyster-Yale Group, Inc., through its Materials Handling Division, supplies military vehicle and equipment spare parts to the Defense Logistics Agency and other federal logistics customers as a prime contractor competing in full-and-open procurement without set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit manufacturer of material handling equipment headquartered in Danville, Illinois, competing across open-market purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts. Hyster-Yale holds no SBA certifications and does not pursue set-aside work; all recent federal awards are full-and-open competitive procurements.

Hyster-Yale's federal footprint is almost entirely DLA-driven. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 3,103 awards (65% of the 4,804 prime awards in the source data) worth $15.2 million in combined potential value — the dominant customer by both volume and dollars. DLA Troop Support Hardware, DLA Aviation, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, and DLA Distribution collectively account for the remaining significant portion of activity. Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons and the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal round out the top customer set, but DLA Land and Maritime's concentration is striking: the top five customers cover 93% of all awards, with DLA Land and Maritime alone representing roughly 65% of the award count and 60% of combined potential value.

Hyster-Yale's capability portfolio centers on discrete military logistics components — brake shoes, fluid filters, hoses, cylinder assemblies, seals, fasteners, electrical components, and related vehicle maintenance hardware. Representative awards include a $24,390.40 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime for ignition contacts (May 2025); a $15,489.50 order for an air brake piston (December 2025); a $13,011.18 order for an air brake piston (December 2025); and a $11,489.85 order for an electromechanical actuator (January 2026). Individual delivery orders typically range from under $50 to roughly $7,000, with a few outliers exceeding $24,000. All awards are structured as firm fixed-price purchase orders under existing indefinite delivery contracts; Hyster-Yale operates as a prime contractor with no subcontractor footprint and performs all work at its Danville facility.

Hyster-Yale holds multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued at $250,000. Three named IDCs awarded in 2022 cover generators and related spare parts (awarded September 2022, completion September 2023), cylinder assemblies (awarded August 2022, completion March 2023), and fluid filters (awarded June 2022, completion June 2023). The source shows delivery orders issued under these contracts through 2026, indicating ongoing use or a pattern of renewal. Top parent vehicles by task order count include IDC SPM7LX13D5056 (153 task orders, $34 thousand combined value), IDC SPM75004D7860 (65 task orders, $280 thousand), and IDC DJU4600001401 (63 task orders, $343 thousand). The vehicles span DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Aviation, DLA Troop Support, and the Bureau of Prisons.

Activity per year has declined since 2022: the source shows 266 awards in 2022, dropping to 161 in 2023, 151 in 2024, and 173 in 2025, with only 36 awards through April 2026. Only three awards carry completion dates within the next twenty-four months with a combined potential value of $37 thousand — an extremely small recompete exposure, suggesting most active DLA delivery orders already extend beyond the two-year window or are not yet formalized in the source.

Hyster-Yale's NAICS concentration reflects its vehicle-parts footprint: the top codes are Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (299 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (270 awards), Storage Battery Manufacturing (246 awards), Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing (239 awards), and Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing (236 awards). By PSC, the company clusters around Vehicular Brake, Steering, Axle, Wheel, and Track Components (523 awards), Miscellaneous Power Transmission Equipment (358 awards), Miscellaneous Materials Handling Equipment (338 awards), Hardware Commercial (327 awards), and Packing and Gasket Materials (315 awards). This category concentration underscores a vendor locked into a narrow, high-volume commodity parts supplier role for military vehicle logistics — a position with limited pricing power, significant volume sensitivity, and thin margins typical of DLA supply-chain work.
