John Fabick Tractor Co

John Fabick Tractor Co, operating through its Fabick Cat Division, is an authorized Caterpillar dealer and heavy equipment service provider headquartered in Fenton, Missouri, that delivers equipment maintenance, repair, overhaul, and parts supply services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 76% of its recent awards and as a subcontractor supplying powertrain components and equipment rental to defense primes. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open, with no SBA set-aside designations on the majority of work, though Total Small Business set-asides appear on roughly 10% of prime purchases and BPA calls.

John Fabick Tractor Co's capability portfolio centers on certified Caterpillar equipment rebuild and overhaul services, heavy machinery repair and maintenance across dozers, excavators, and mobile equipment, generator maintenance and power generation support, and marine vessel engine and component repair. Representative prime work includes a $592.7 million certified rebuild of a Caterpillar D8T dozer with winch addition for the Defense Logistics Agency (awarded September 2025), a $480.8 million overhaul of a Pathfinder main engine under the USACE St. Louis Service Base BPA (awarded May 2023), and a $518.1 million Quincy engine overhaul for the Army Corps of Engineers under the same BPA (awarded September 2022). Recent delivery orders include a $57.3 million generator maintenance contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs VISN 15 (awarded June 2026, performance at Columbia, Missouri through June 2027) and a $146.7 million BPA call from USACE for engine and gear repair services on the Grand Tower asset (awarded April 2026, Total Small Business set-aside). The vendor also delivers track assembly repair, dozer undercarriage restoration, electronic control module replacement, and specialized technician training.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Army Corps of Engineers and Department of Defense logistics. The top five customer entities account for 53% of award count, led by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (35 awards), the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers at large (25 awards, $52.7 million combined potential value), USACE Engineering District St. Paul (16 awards, $1.2 million), the Department of the Army (15 awards, $7 thousand), and USACE Engineering District St. Louis (11 awards, $306 thousand). When ranked by potential value, the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers dominates with $52.7 million across 25 awards, followed distantly by USACE Engineering District St. Paul and the Department of Veterans Affairs VISN 15 at $859 thousand combined potential value. The agency concentration reflects the vendor's role as a mission-critical supplier for federal heavy equipment maintenance and waterway infrastructure support.

John Fabick Tractor Co holds two significant parent contract vehicles. An Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs (ceiling $411.95 million, awarded June 2024, performance through June 2029) has generated three delivery orders for generator maintenance and authorized distributor services at Columbia, Missouri. The $49.5 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for Repair and Alteration of Vessels at the USACE St. Louis Service Base (awarded May 2022, completion May 2027) has generated eight task orders for engine overhauls, generator set work, and vessel maintenance supporting inland waterway operations. The vendor also holds multiple single-award IDIQs with the Defense Logistics Agency (SPE7LX22D0149, with 19 task orders; W56HZV15D0031, with 6 task orders; and SPE7LX24D5038, with 4 task orders) that appear to anchor heavy equipment repair and powertrain component delivery.

Activity has grown substantially — from eight awards in 2022 to a peak of 31 in 2024 — with 30 awards in 2025 and eight awards year-to-date in 2026. The recompete cliff presents minimal near-term risk; only three awards with combined potential value of $348 thousand face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, reflecting the multi-year maturity of parent vehicles and delivery orders. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $56.6 million, with $12.4 million (22% of potential) obligated to date, indicating substantial unfunded work on the balance sheet.

The vendor's subcontractor footprint is dominated by Oshkosh Defense LLC, under which John Fabick Tractor Co supplies electronic control units, engine control units, powertrain components, cab assemblies, and dwell mechanisms in support of the Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (FHTV) contract and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) deliveries to Ukraine. Between May 2023 and January 2026, the vendor has delivered 44 sub-awards to Oshkosh, primarily powertrain-related parts. The vendor also performs equipment rental work as a subcontractor to Environmental Quality Management, Inc. and EQM Services, LLC on superfund remediation site work. The sub footprint reflects the vendor's role as both a specialized repair provider and a parts distributor for defense vehicle programs.

John Fabick Tractor Co's work is concentrated in NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance), which accounts for 76 awards, with secondary activity in engine equipment manufacturing (19 awards) and equipment rental and leasing (14 awards). Primary PSC codes are maintenance and repair of construction and mining equipment (33 awards) and ship and vessel repair (10 awards), aligning with the federal waterway infrastructure and heavy equipment maintenance mission profile. The corporate structure includes two named subsidiaries: Fabick Power Systems, Inc. and Fabick & Co, though the source does not indicate functional differentiation between the parent and subsidiaries in the federal contract footprint.
