Peterson Machinery Co

Peterson Machinery Co, a Eugene, Oregon-based heavy equipment repair, maintenance, and rental service provider, operates as a subsidiary of Peterson Holding Company (doing business as Peterson Cat) and competes as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal purchase orders across civilian agencies without set-aside designation. The company has maintained an active federal contracting presence since 2004, delivering Caterpillar equipment maintenance, emergency equipment rental (chillers, boilers, generators), and specialized repair work for heavy machinery across 18 distinct federal customer agencies.

Peterson Machinery Co's capability portfolio centers on equipment repair and maintenance services. Top NAICS concentrations fall under commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance (97 awards), industrial machinery wholesaling (20 awards), and construction and forestry equipment rental and leasing (9 awards); top PSC codes reflect tractor maintenance (25 awards), vehicular equipment components (23 awards), and construction and mining equipment repair (22 awards). Representative recent work includes a $57,537 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region (September 2026) for motor work and hydraulic system repairs on an SD100D Roller at Deschutes National Forest; a $111,508 boiler rental order from the Federal Correctional Institution Sheridan (November 2025) with performance through December 2026; a $124,568 emergency chiller rental from FCI Sheridan (September 2025); and an $89,507 Caterpillar road grader repair for Crater Lake National Park under the National Park Service Pacific West Region (August 2025, modified).

Customer concentration is fragmented across civilian land-management and correctional agencies. The top five customers by award count (covering 40% of awards) are the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington Region (22 awards, $236 thousand), Army Corps of Engineers Portland District (16 awards, $459 thousand), Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region (13 awards, $168 thousand), Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region (12 awards, $152 thousand), and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (9 awards, $98 thousand). By potential value, the rankings shift: the Federal Correctional Institution Sheridan dominates with 8 awards and $603 thousand combined potential value, followed by Corps Portland ($459 thousand), BLM Oregon-Washington ($236 thousand), Forest Service R5 ($168 thousand), and Forest Service R6 ($152 thousand) — together covering 70% of combined potential value. The concentration by dollars reflects Peterson Machinery Co's sustained heavy-use relationship with FCI Sheridan for emergency equipment rentals, whereas the award-count leadership belongs to BLM and Corps for smaller transactional repairs and rentals.

Peterson Machinery Co sits on five named Blanket Purchase Agreements and one Indefinite Delivery Contract as the primary vehicles for task order placement: BPA INLHEB070003 (14 task orders), BPA INLHMB062009 (14 task orders, $6 thousand), IDC 68HE0720D0002 (8 task orders), BPA INL09PA00347 (6 task orders), and BPA INL09PA00580 (2 task orders, $6 thousand). These vehicles anchor the vendor's access to Interior and Army Corps agencies.

Activity over the past five years shows volatility but recent recovery: 5 awards in 2021, 4 in 2022, 6 in 2024, 12 in 2025, and 5 in 2026 year-to-date. The vendor carries $2.3 million in combined potential value across 181 total awards (95% prime, 5% sub), with $2.7 million in dollars obligated — exceeding the potential-value ceiling by 18%, indicating steady invoicing against a conservative pipeline valuation. Three awards (combined potential value $264 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure.

In its subcontractor role, Peterson Machinery Co delivers heavy equipment rentals — telehandlers, boom lifts, and general equipment mobilization — to Environmental Quality Management, Inc. on the J.H. Baxter Time-Critical Removal Actions (TCRA) project under the Army Corps of Engineers IDC 68HE0720D0002, with nine task orders spanning September 2024 through February 2026. Peterson Machinery Co does not hold federal IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide contracts; its federal posture is built on transactional purchase orders and BPA calls across regional field offices and correctional facilities in the Pacific Northwest and California.
