Rosenbauer America LLC

Rosenbauer America LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of specialized firefighting apparatus, operates as a prime contractor delivering custom emergency response vehicles to the federal government, predominantly through the Defense Logistics Agency and GSA. The company does not pursue set-aside categories; nearly all of its recent federal work is full-and-open or under unrestricted contract vehicles.

Rosenbauer America is headquartered in Lyons, South Dakota, and is a subsidiary of the global Rosenbauer Group, which carries over 150 years of firefighting apparatus manufacturing experience. The company also owns a subsidiary, Rosenbauer Minnesota LLC. Rosenbauer competes across Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing, Construction Machinery Manufacturing, and Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing NAICS codes, with the majority of its federal procurement recorded under PSC Earth Moving and Excavating Equipment (144 awards) and Fire Fighting Equipment (53 awards).

The company's capability portfolio centers on the design and manufacture of specialized firefighting and emergency response vehicles. Rosenbauer delivers pumper fire trucks, aerial ladder trucks, aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicles, hazmat trucks, brush trucks, rescue trucks, water tankers, quint apparatus, and related components to military installations and federal civilian agencies. Recent representative prime work includes a $6.18 million delivery order from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support for a quint fire truck (March 2026), a $3.75 million delivery order for a fire truck (February 2026), a $1.29 million definitive contract from Washington Headquarters Service for an ARFF vehicle to the Raven Rock Mountain Complex (September 2025), and a $1.69 million delivery order from the U.S. Coast Guard for a Cape May 100-foot mid-mount heavy duty aerial tower fire apparatus under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (August 2024).

Customer concentration is extreme and heavily concentrated in military logistics. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment division represents 144 awards (59% of all prime awards) with a combined potential value of $2.57 billion (97% of all prime dollars). The top five customers by potential value account for 99% of combined potential value; GSA Federal Acquisition Service ranks second with five awards valued at $42.6 million. The company has worked with 39 distinct federal customer agencies over the award-data period, but the DLA relationship dominates by orders of magnitude.

Rosenbauer America holds three primary federal contract vehicles. The Defense Logistics Agency Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE8EC20D0055 anchors the company's federal work, with a ceiling value of $889.8 million extending through May 8, 2030. This single-award IDC generated 71 task orders carrying $170.5 million in combined potential value. The company also holds the DLA Heavy Equipment Program vehicle, which supports 59 task orders valued at $99.9 million combined. A GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract awarded in June 2026 with a $30.83 million ceiling and performance through June 2031 supports 51 task orders valued at $29.6 million. An additional IDC (SPE8EC25D0052) carries 11 task orders with $39.7 million combined potential value.

Activity has declined notably year over year. The company received 17 awards in 2022, peaked at 24 in 2023, fell to 14 in 2024, and declined further to 11 in 2025, with only 5 awards so far in 2026. Recompete exposure is material: 20 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $96.7 million, presenting both recompete risk for Rosenbauer and recompete opportunity for competitors.

Rosenbauer America operates as a near-pure prime, with 243 of 244 recent awards (100%) issued as prime awards rather than subcontracts. The company received one sub-award: a sub-task under Triad National Security LLC's Los Alamos National Laboratory management and operating contract for an aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle (January 2025).

The company manufactures all vehicles at its Lyons, South Dakota facility and delivers to military installations worldwide. While the source does not indicate current headcount or annual revenue, the $2.65 billion combined potential value across 244 awards and the $382.3 million in obligated dollars (14% of combined potential) position Rosenbauer America as a specialized, high-volume single-source supplier to the Department of Defense for emergency response vehicles.

Rosenbauer America manufactures firefighting apparatus for deployment worldwide. Our product line includes; Aerials, ARFF, Pumpers, Rescues, Tankers, Wildlands and Specialty Vehicles. See us on GSA or visit www.rosenbaueramerica.com for more information.
