Power Test, LLC

Power Test, LLC, a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of dynamometer test systems, engine testing equipment, and associated aerospace and defense components, competes as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal procurements with the Defense Department, Army National Guard units, and Air Force Materiel Command, with approximately 80% of recent awards at prime level and no set-aside designations across its footprint.

Power Test is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Sussex, Wisconsin, with a subsidiary, Ptdsubco LLC, also a for-profit LLC. The company manufactures specialized testing and maintenance equipment, diesel engine components, hose and fitting assemblies, and proprietary dynamometer control systems and data acquisition platforms. Recent prime work anchors to equipment sales and systems integration rather than service contracts; representative awards include a $1.017 million firm fixed-price purchase order from the Marine Corps (September 2025) for a complete dynamometer test cell with 1,000 and 1,250 horsepower capacities, cooling systems, data acquisition, 40 hours of operator training, and extended warranty at Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, Georgia; a $993,050 definitive contract from Army Contracting Command Redstone (May 2024) for mobile dynamometer cells in 20-foot shipping containers for Letterkenny Army Depot production requirements; and a $112,800 firm fixed-price purchase order from Air Force Materiel Command (February 2026) for a CMXG KC-46 pneumatic starter component for Boeing KC-46 Pegasus tanker aircraft, with work performed in Lisbon, Wisconsin and completion in February 2027. The company also supplied a $86,580 Borgi dynamometer controls upgrade to the Army and a $23,164 shift cart kit to the Marine Corps.

Customer concentration skews toward Army and Marine Corps logistics and test operations. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 67% of recent awards, led by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (9 awards, $4 thousand combined potential value — mostly sub-$2,000 component and connector orders) and the United States Marine Corps (4 awards, $1.1 million). Army Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal, the Army National Guard (Colorado and Wisconsin), and Air Force Materiel Command round out the active customer set. The potential-value ranking diverges sharply from the count-based ranking: ACC Redstone and the Marine Corps each anchor $1.1 million in combined value, while DLA's numerous awards aggregate to minimal dollars. Army Pacific Command's single maintenance services award runs through March 2028 with a $215,445 ceiling.

Activity trajectories show a 2023 peak (15 awards) followed by a sharp decline — five awards in 2024, three in 2025, two in 2026 — though the portfolio remains active with three awards (combined potential value $1.3 million) facing completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete. As a subcontractor, Power Test supplies eddy-current engine dynamometers and containerized cooling systems to Southwest Research Institute on a cost-plus fixed-fee task order (February 2026) for electronic engine control integration and development, and provides worldwide field support to General Dynamics Global Force on multiple task orders through Army Communications-Electronics Command's Tobyhanna Army Depot. Additional sub work includes facilities support containerized cooling systems to Lockheed Martin and maintenance and engineering support to Amentum Services on Ukraine Repair and Decontamination Center task orders.

The source data reflects obligated dollars of $4.8 million against combined potential value of $2.7 million, indicating substantial delivery activity relative to remaining ceiling exposure. Power Test's capability portfolio emphasizes dynamometer test cell manufacture and integration, engine and powertrain testing platforms, pneumatic and hydraulic starter components for military aircraft, and commissioning and operator training — work that aligns with its NAICS footprint in Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing, Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing, and Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, and PSC codes spanning Miscellaneous Engine Accessories (Nonaircraft), Diesel Engines and Components, and Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments.
