K & N Electric Motors Inc.

K & N Electric Motors Inc., doing business as K & N Industrial Equipment, a small business Subchapter S corporation based in Spokane Valley, Washington, supplies specialized electrical equipment refurbishment, motor manufacturing, and industrial repair services to the Department of the Interior, Department of the Army, and Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides or full-and-open designations. The vendor competes across 166 prime awards spanning three decades, with no subcontractor role; it operates its own delivery teams and does not subcontract work to other vendors.

K & N's capability portfolio centers on exciter remanufacture, motor replacement and repair, pump refurbishment, and electrical component maintenance for hydroelectric power generation facilities and water-resource infrastructure. Representative recent work includes a $360,831 total small business firm-fixed-price contract with the Bureau of Reclamation (September 2024) for furnishing and installation of seven new electric motors and couplers at the Umatilla Field Office in Hermiston, Oregon; a $484,489 firm-fixed-price exciter remanufacture (August 2023, ultimate completion May 2024) for G-12 exciter rebuild; a $127,035 time-and-materials delivery order (January 2022, ultimate completion October 2022) for LPH G4 exciter refurbishment and repair at the Spokane facility; and a $101,744 time-and-materials contract for G3 exciter remanufacture (October 2023, ultimate completion March 2024). The vendor's NAICS footprint reflects manufacturing and repair intensity: Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (54 awards), Motor and Generator Manufacturing (44 awards), and Ship Building and Repairing (12 awards) dominate the category split, with primary PSC codes anchored to Motors, Electrical and Converters, Electrical, Rotating.

Customer concentration is split between two federal customers accounting for 60% of award count and 94% of combined potential value. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Walla Walla leads by dollars ($12.9 million across 23 awards) and nearly matches the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation in volume dominance ($9 million across 46 awards). The two agencies rank inversely by volume versus value — Reclamation issues more frequent but smaller purchase orders for exciter and motor work, while Walla Walla's portfolio carries higher average per-task value. Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime ($211 thousand across 11 awards) and the Corps of Engineers Engineering District Seattle ($1.3 million across 6 awards) follow. The vendor operates under four primary indefinite delivery vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract W9127N04D0012 (11 task orders), Indefinite Delivery Contract INR16PC00174 (10 task orders, $737 thousand combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract 140R1720D0002 (6 task orders, $504 thousand combined potential value), and Blanket Purchase Agreement W912DW14A6026.

Recent award activity has declined significantly — two awards in 2022, five in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026. The vendor has long-standing continuity with the Bureau of Reclamation, evidenced by over $5 million in historical contracts since 2019 for exciter equipment and governor motors across Western U.S. hydroelectric installations. SCI-reportable service-contract invoicing totaled $3.1 million across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2022: $612 thousand; FY2023: $819 thousand; FY2024: $732 thousand; FY2025: $903 thousand), with the vendor's federal services workforce scaling from 1.2 FTEs in FY2024 to 2.5 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts held steady at $293.30/hr across the 10th, median, and 90th percentiles, reflecting specialized technical labor pricing. The vendor operates without named subcontractors on federal services contracts captured in SCI and maintains zero sub-engagement across its prime portfolio.
