Link-Belt Cranes, L.p., LLLP

Link-Belt Cranes, L.P., LLLP Link Belt Mid-Atlantic Construction Equipment Division, doing business as Link-Belt Mid-Atlantic, supplies original equipment manufacturer (OEM) maintenance, repair, and replacement parts for mobile cranes and associated equipment to the Department of the Navy and Department of Homeland Security as a prime contractor, operating as a small-business subsidiary of Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd.

Link-Belt Mid-Atlantic is a for-profit limited liability partnership headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia. The vendor operates as a child entity of Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd., a major maritime and defense-industrial supplier to the U.S. Navy and other federal agencies. Link-Belt Mid-Atlantic competes in full-and-open federal procurements — across 100 prime awards, the vast majority carry no set-aside designation, with one recent award marked as Partial Small Business and another as Total Small Business. The vendor's capability footprint centers on hydraulic cylinder repair and hoist assembly replacement, boom programming and replacement, and supplies of specialized oils and lubricants for crane operations. Recent representative work includes a $59,350.29 firm-fixed-price purchase order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command (award April 21, 2026) for repair of a mobile crane boom lift cylinder at Norfolk, Virginia; a $34,304 purchase order from NAVFAC (September 18, 2024) for boom replacement and programming; a $30,181.96 purchase order from the Coast Guard (October 5, 2024) for OEM maintenance on a 90-ton Link-Belt hydraulic crane; and a $80,327.64 purchase order from Naval Air Systems Command (February 3, 2022) for a boom hoist cylinder assembly.

Customer concentration is overwhelming on the Department of the Navy. Naval Facilities Engineering Command anchors 38 awards worth $2.6 million in combined potential value (60% of all awards and 61% of potential value), followed by Naval Sea Systems Command with 21 awards totaling $455 thousand and Naval Construction Forces with 17 awards totaling $358 thousand. These three Navy entities account for 76 of 100 prime awards. The Department of the Army Test and Evaluation Command and Army Materiel Command at Redstone Arsenal combined represent five awards and $660 thousand in potential value. The Coast Guard holds three awards worth $67 thousand. Across two parent vehicles — an indefinite delivery contract (N4008516D2240) with 12 task orders worth $511 thousand and a blanket purchase agreement (V5510517A0003) with one task order worth $31 thousand — Link-Belt Mid-Atlantic places task orders under standing Navy procurement relationships.

Activity has declined substantially. The vendor recorded three awards in 2021, two in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all 100 awards stands at $4.3 million, with $3.1 million already obligated. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $59 thousand in potential value and limited near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with zero subcontract footprint. Primary NAICS coding splits between Construction Machinery Manufacturing (27 awards) and Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance (26 awards), with leading PSC codes covering maintenance and repair of construction and materials-handling equipment.
