About the company
National Railway Equipment CO., doing business as Nrec, manufactures and overhauls locomotive engines, generator sets, and rail equipment as a self-certified small disadvantaged business operating as a prime contractor exclusively on full-and-open federal awards with no set-aside designations. The company is an employee-owned, for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Mount Vernon, Illinois, with two named subsidiaries: NRE Power Systems, Inc. and N.R.E. Acquisition Co., LLC.
Nrec's capability portfolio centers on locomotive engine rebuilds, generator set maintenance and repair, and technical support for tactical rail equipment. Representative work includes a $791,838.56 single-award indefinite-delivery contract with Naval Facilities Engineering Command running through February 2028 to maintain and repair engine generator sets supporting Atlantic Fleet power generation and troop transport — five task orders have been issued to date, totaling $459,294.47 in potential value, including $120,505.48 for Option Period 2 maintenance services (March 2025) and $98,205.35 for non-recurring engineering repairs of traction motors and air compressors (July 2023). Nrec also holds a Department of Transportation indefinite-delivery contract (DTRT5717D30015) with 21 task orders valued at $4.8 million combined for technical support of the Army's fleet of ultra-low emitting locomotives across multiple installations; a recent $721,200.00 delivery order covered maintenance and inspection at ten Army locations (April 2022). A $287,117.00 firm-fixed-price definitive contract with Army Materiel Command TACOM in January 2023 covered the rebuild of one 645E locomotive engine and wheel-axle set for the Anniston Army Depot.
Customer concentration is highly concentrated. The Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary dominates the footprint at 40 awards carrying $57.5 million in combined potential value (85% of total dollars). Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command represents 25 awards valued at $5.2 million. Navy customers — U.S. Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) and Naval Facilities Engineering Command — combine for 21 awards and $4 million in potential value. These five customer agencies account for 86% of all awards by count and 100% of combined potential value. Nrec works predominantly under two vehicle types: the Department of Transportation indefinite-delivery contract (DTRT5717D30015) with 21 task orders and the Navy indefinite-delivery contract (N4008518D4735) with 8 task orders; additional smaller IDCs cover Army and Navy work in the $55 thousand to $658 thousand range per vehicle.
Award activity has declined significantly. Nrec received six awards in 2023 and two in 2024, with only one award in 2025 and one in early 2026. The most recent award — a $785,544.00 purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers Vicksburg District for overhaul of EMD generator sets on the Motor Vessel Dredge Jadwin (March 2026) — represents isolated recent work. Of 112 total prime awards spanning back to 1991, the recent five-year window shows contraction from a 2023 baseline. The single-award Navy indefinite-delivery contract carrying $791,838.56 ceiling through February 2028 represents the only active multiyear vehicle with repeat task-order potential; combined potential value across all active awards stands at $67.9 million, with $59.5 million obligated (88% draw-down).
