The Murphy Elevator Co

The Murphy Elevator Co, a Louisville, Kentucky-based elevator maintenance, repair, and inspection services provider, operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) serving 26 federal agencies across civilian and military installations nationwide. The company competes in full-and-open and total small business set-aside categories, with no SBA designations (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) noted in the source; it has held federal contracting status since 2002.

Customer concentration is distributed across infrastructure support agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 37% of awards, led by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District (19 awards, $2 million combined potential value), the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Medical Center Lexington (18 awards, $836 thousand), and the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 5 (17 awards, $1.5 million). The top five customers by potential value capture 50% of combined dollars, with the Department of the Army anchoring $5 million across eight awards and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 holding $3.1 million. The rankings diverge meaningfully: the Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District places many small task orders, while the Department of Veterans Affairs VISN 5 anchors fewer but larger awards. Recent representative work includes a $1.633 million definitive contract with VA VISN 5 for elevator services at Huntington, West Virginia through July 2028; a $419,400 sole-source purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District to rehabilitate the Taylorsville Lake control tower elevator; a $899,850 indefinite delivery contract with Naval Facilities Engineering Command for vertical transportation equipment maintenance at Naval Weapons Station Crane through June 2030; and a $111,170 delivery order for base-period services at Naval Support Activity Crane under the Navy's existing contract vehicle.

The Murphy Elevator Co holds five active indefinite delivery vehicles: a $1.25 million single-award BPA with the Army Corps of Engineers ENDIST Louisville (established August 2025) for maintenance and inspection at Olmsted Lock and Dam, Illinois, through July 2030; a $899,850 total small business indefinite delivery contract with Naval Facilities Engineering Command for vertical transportation equipment maintenance at Naval Weapons Station Crane, Indiana, through June 2030; a $5 million multiple-award BPA with the Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District for elevator inspections at federal facilities through March 2030; a $649,192 single-award full-and-open IDC with GSA Region 5 for elevator services across four Ohio facilities (Joseph P. Kinneary U.S. Courthouse and Bricker Federal Building/Parking Garage in Columbus, Rice Federal Building U.S. Courthouse in Dayton) through February 2027; and a prior $150,000 small business BPA with ENDIST Louisville (referenced in historical awards). Across all vehicles, the company places task orders at a steady frequency; the GSA Multiple Award Schedule carries 18 task orders totaling $3.9 million. Activity has been modest but consistent—two awards in 2022, five in 2023, two in 2024, nine in 2025, and five to date in 2026—with only four awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $2.2 million), presenting minimal recompete exposure in the near term. Capability portfolio concentrates on elevator maintenance, repair, and installation services; the vendor's work spans routine preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, safety code certification inspections per ASME A17.1 standards, floor lighting and paneling upgrades, and facility-specific elevator rehabilitation. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no named subcontract activity in the source data.
