Renk America LLC

Renk America LLC Renk America Division, a foreign-owned manufacturer of precision mechanical and propulsion system components for military vehicles and naval platforms, operates as a prime contractor (41% of awards) and subcontractor (59%) across Department of Defense programs, with no set-aside designations on any recent federal awards. The company is a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, Inc., headquartered in Muskegon, Michigan, with manufacturing and service delivery locations at Muskegon and Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

Renk America's capability portfolio centers on military-grade transmissions, gears, reduction units, diesel engines, piston assemblies, bearings, seals, and associated propulsion system components for armored ground vehicles and naval vessels. Primary NAICS categories reflect this focus: Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing (20 awards), Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing (8 awards), and Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing (3 awards). Representative prime work includes a $57.6 million definitive firm-fixed-price contract awarded by Air Combat Command Warren on March 4, 2026, for 80 diesel engines (NSN 2815-01-414-6821) with options, performance through December 24, 2027, at Muskegon; a $6 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract awarded by Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command on December 15, 2025, for system technical support services (up to 387,059 STS hours over five years) across the Bradley Fighting Vehicle System, Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle, Multiple Launch Rocket System, and Paladin Integrated Management programs, performance through December 14, 2030; and a $37.1 million single-award indefinite delivery contract awarded by the Army Security Assistance Command on October 10, 2023, for non-standard vehicle spare parts and piston assemblies supporting Foreign Military Sales cases IS-B-BTR and IS-B-ZZO for the Government of Israel, with multiple delivery orders issued through June 2028.

Customer concentration tilts heavily toward Army platforms and ground-combat sustainment. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal dominates the dollar rankings with four awards totaling $941.2 million combined potential value; the Army Security Assistance Command accounts for eight awards worth $71.7 million in combined potential value, largely Foreign Military Sales work; and the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command holds four awards worth $33.6 million combined potential value. Together, these three customers account for 100% of the combined potential value across all 44 awards in the source data. Award volume concentration differs: PEO Ground Combat Systems leads by count with 22 awards (combined potential value $6 million), reflecting smaller sustainment and technical support orders; USASAC places eight awards (mostly FMS delivery orders in the $2 million to $16 million range); NAVSEA holds four awards. The gap between volume and dollars signals a two-tier customer portfolio — many small Army technical support and component orders, anchored by one massive multi-year production contract with Detroit Arsenal.

Renk America places work under multiple Army indefinite delivery contracts, most significantly Indefinite Delivery Contract W56HZV22D0083 with seven task orders, Indefinite Delivery Contract W91CRB24D0003 with six task orders worth $34.6 million combined potential value, Indefinite Delivery Contract N5523623D0006 (Naval Sea Systems) with two task orders worth $2.9 million, and Indefinite Delivery Contract SPRDL120D0106 (TACOM) with one task order. The W56HZV22D0083 vehicle carries the largest task-order volume from Detroit Arsenal; W91CRB24D0003 appears tied to Bradley and AMPV production sustainment work through subcontracts with BAE Systems Land & Armaments.

Activity accelerated sharply from 2023 to 2024 — one award in 2022, five in 2023, twenty-eight in 2024, six in 2025, and two through mid-2026 — driven primarily by subcontract flow under BAE Systems on Bradley Fighting Vehicle and Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle production and sustainment. Five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $85.4 million and representing near-term recompete exposure or option-exercise opportunity.

In its subcontractor role, Renk America supplies propulsion system components, transmissions, and technical support services predominantly to BAE Systems Land & Armaments on Bradley A4 Follow-On Production, AMPV procurement, and Bradley/MLRS/M113 systems technical support and sustainment work — the bulk of the 26 sub awards since 2023. Additional subcontracts flow to Textron Systems (LCAC 109 and 110 long-lead material), DCS Corporation (tracked hub drive study), and S & K Federal Services (Foreign Military Sales repair and restoration). Renk America's sub-tier supply chain includes Kaydon Ring & Seal Inc. (doing business as SKF Precision Technologies) for piston rings and seal assemblies, Mahle Industries for related components, Gemini Machining Company for precision machining, and Modern Engineering Solutions for engineering support.
