Pearson Engineering LIMITED

Pearson Engineering LIMITED, a foreign-owned United Kingdom-based defense contractor headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, manufactures specialized combat engineering systems and vehicle components for the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations. The company operates as a for-profit organization and holds no SBA certifications.

Pearson Engineering's core business centers on Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) systems, Light Weight Mine Rollers (LWMR), and related engineering breaching equipment for Army combat engineering and Stryker vehicle programs. Recent high-value prime awards include a $142.6 million delivery order from PEO Ground Combat Systems on August 29, 2024, for 36 complete ABV systems with front-end equipment (SLICE mine plow systems, light-weight proofing rollers, special tools, and spares); a $149.4 million delivery order from ACC Warren on July 10, 2025, for ABV field service representative support and travel under a Foreign Military Sales agreement with Australia; a $30.97 million PEO CSCSS delivery order on September 23, 2025, for 29 complete ABV-EBS systems; and a $14.55 million ACC Warren delivery order on December 17, 2025, for 25 shipping and maintenance stands for the ABV. Pearson also holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $13.035 million through February 2029 with the Defense Contract Management Agency for approximately 70 Light Weight Mine Rollers to support Infantry Carrier Double V-Hull Vehicles and Engineering Squad Vehicles.

Army contracting dominates Pearson's customer concentration. ACC Detroit Arsenal leads by potential value at $761.6 million across 46 awards, followed by ACC Picatinny Arsenal at $442.5 million across 13 awards and TACOM Life Cycle Management Command at $223.4 million across 18 awards. By award count, the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime places the largest volume (131 awards, $4.4 million combined potential value), but this reflects routine supply-chain transactions for hose assemblies and components; the Marine Corps (70 awards, $183.3 million) and DLA Aviation (63 awards, $759 thousand) follow. Combined, the top five customer agencies account for 80% of awards and 87% of combined potential value, indicating heavy concentration in Army sustainment and modernization programs.

Pearson places task orders under five major IDIQs, with Indefinite Delivery Contract W56HZV18D0046 leading at 18 task orders and $810 million combined potential value, followed by IDC M6785405D5000 (17 task orders, $145.6 million), IDC W15QKN09D2002 (8 task orders, $23.2 million), IDC W56HZV10D0063 (7 task orders, $72.9 million), and IDC W56HZV24D0031 (7 task orders). Activity has accelerated markedly in the last two years — only one award per year from 2021 through 2023, then 12 in 2024 and 15 in 2025 — reflecting expanded Army procurement for combat engineering platforms. Seven awards totaling $205.2 million in potential value face completion in the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure concentrated in the ABV and LWMR product lines. Pearson subcontracts principally to General Dynamics Land Systems on Stryker wholesale supply and performance-based logistics arrangements, as well as mine rack adapter kit production. The company's footprint spans 410 prime awards (97% of recent work) against 11 sub-awards, reflecting its role as an original equipment manufacturer rather than a tiered supplier, with work performed entirely in Great Britain under firm fixed-price structures.
