Recent federal contract awards to Overton Chicago Gear Corporation showcase the company's diverse range of services and products. In May 2024, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory awarded the company a $104,000 firm-fixed-price purchase order for the engineering design of a customized gearbox housing. This contract, without a set-aside designation, required the design of a housing compatible with existing gears, shafts, and bearings, meeting specific technical specifications such as compatible oil galleries and drains, a robust housing split interface, appropriate seals, and an aluminum alloy material with a minimum ultimate tensile strength. In October 2023, the company received a $79,265 contract from the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) for creating an engineering package to design a custom gearbox. This award was set aside for small businesses, demonstrating the company's eligibility for such designations. Additionally, Overton Chicago Gear Corporation has acted as a subcontractor, providing vertical shafts to Alliant Techsystems Operations LLC under a federal contract sub-award. These contracts illustrate the company's ability to deliver both specialized engineering services and custom-manufactured components, ranging from complete gearbox designs to individual mechanical parts, primarily serving the needs of defense agencies and their prime contractors.
