John Deere Shared Services, LLC

John Deere Shared Services, LLC, a subsidiary of Deere & Company operating as John Deere Construction Retail Sales, manufactures and supplies heavy construction equipment—motor graders, crawler dozers, compact track loaders, backhoe loaders, excavators, wheel loaders, and skid steers—to federal agencies as a prime contractor competing full-and-open across all vehicle types with no set-aside posture. The company is a large business entity headquartered in Moline, Illinois, with primary NAICS concentration in Construction Machinery Manufacturing (885 of 1,100 awards) and Earth Moving and Excavating Equipment in PSC coding (673 of 1,100 awards).

John Deere Shared Services operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards prime, 0% sub), with a recent award footprint of 1,100 federal contracts and grants spanning from 2005 to September 2026. The combined potential value across all awards totals $4.4 billion, with $680.8 million obligated (15% realization). Activity declined from 36 awards in 2024 to 8 awards in 2026 year-to-date, signaling a sharp contraction in new award volume. The vendor serves 148 distinct customer agencies, but customer concentration is extreme: the top five customers represent 29% of award count and 87% of combined potential value, dominated overwhelmingly by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (140 awards, $3.05 billion) and the U.S. Marine Corps (53 awards, $697.3 million).

John Deere Shared Services holds two major prime vehicle positions. The largest is a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment division valued at $1.284 billion through May 11, 2028, effective from June 28, 2023. This vehicle has generated the majority of the vendor's recent federal delivery order activity across motor graders, dozers, track loaders, and excavators supporting U.S. military infrastructure worldwide. A second significant vehicle is a $65 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, awarded September 25, 2024, with ultimate completion October 31, 2026. Six delivery orders have been issued under the Fish and Wildlife vehicle to date, totaling $914,876.50, supporting national wildlife refuge operations and land management activities including backhoe loaders, front-end loaders, and fire dozers at Sequoyah, Tishomingo, and Alligator River refuges. The vendor also places 618 task orders under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule, generating $100.1 million in combined potential value, serving Interior, Labor, Treasury, Customs and Border Protection, and civilian agency customers for graders, loaders, and specialized equipment.

Named recent awards illustrate the vendor's equipment portfolio and customer reach. Under the DLA IDIQ, John Deere Shared Services received a $6.365 million delivery order (March 14, 2025) for a motor grader, a $6.545 million order (September 5, 2025) for a wheel loader, and a $6.706 million order (September 26, 2023) for 851 track loaders, all for defense infrastructure. A $1.902 million delivery order (April 28, 2025) for a motor grader and a $1.163 million order (March 11, 2025) for an excavator exemplify mid-range DLA procurement. Under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, the vendor supplied a $468,938.54 motor grader to the Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 2 at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge (September 9, 2026), a $440,745.56 grader to DOI Region 4 (August 14, 2026), and a $420,687.18 road grader to the National Park Service Intermountain Region at Yellowstone (July 29, 2025). The vendor also delivered a $1.055 million articulating dump truck order to the Bureau of Reclamation (May 26, 2026) and a $210,927.80 John Deere Gator XUV to a federal Headquarters Division (April 28, 2026).

Five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $2.2 million—a notably modest recompete exposure given the vendor's $4.4 billion portfolio, reflecting that most significant DLA awards extend through mid-to-late 2025 and into 2026. The vendor does not operate as a subcontractor in the federal space; all awards are prime. John Deere Shared Services maintains no identified subcontractor relationships in the award records; work is performed in-house at Moline, Illinois or delivered directly to federal sites nationwide and internationally.

The vendor's competitive posture is full-and-open large-business—no set-asides are applied across the footprint. Concentration on the DLA IDIQ vehicle (140 awards, $3.05 billion, 69% of combined potential value) and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (618 task orders) places John Deere Shared Services in a position of structural dependence on these two vehicles for visibility into federal demand. The Marine Corps concentration (53 awards, $697.3 million) represents secondary but significant defense customer exposure. The sharp decline in new-award velocity—from 36 awards in 2024 to 8 year-to-date in 2026—warrants tracking for pipeline risk and potential recompete outcomes on the DLA and Fish and Wildlife IDIQs.
