S & S Electric Motors Inc.

S & S Electric Motors Inc., a small business subchapter S corporation based in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, supplies alternating current generator maintenance and refurbishment services to the U.S. Army as a prime contractor under delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts set aside for small business. The company operates entirely within the Department of Defense—specifically the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal (ACC Redstone)—and competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on its parent indefinite delivery vehicles, though individual delivery orders are often issued without set-aside designations once the underlying contract is awarded.

S & S Electric Motors' capability footprint is narrow and specialized: cleaning, inspection, testing, and refurbishment of AC generators in support of the Patriot air defense missile system and Electric Power Plant III program at Letterkenny Army Depot. The work is performed at the contractor's Chambersburg facility and typically involves generator maintenance cycles completed within 15 to 30 days of order issuance. Individual delivery orders are firm fixed-price and range from $645 to $2,100, with the majority valued between $700 and $1,400. Representative recent work includes a $1,400 Total Small Business delivery order awarded April 14, 2026, for generator cleaning and testing in support of Electric Power Plant III, a $1,400 delivery order issued March 13, 2026, and a $1,400 order dated December 12, 2025—all issued under the company's primary indefinite delivery vehicle.

Customer concentration is absolute. ACC Redstone accounts for 182 of 184 recorded prime awards (99% of the portfolio) with a combined potential value of $3.7 million; the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution holds one award for $6 thousand, and the Department of the Army holds one unnamed award. The vendor's entire operational footprint is anchored to Letterkenny Army Depot's generator support mission.

S & S Electric Motors holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract (W911N221D0050) valued at $140,000, awarded March 1, 2022, with ultimate completion February 28, 2027, set aside for Total Small Business. This vehicle has generated 49 delivery orders carrying a combined potential value of $53 thousand. The company also appears on two predecessor or related indefinite delivery contracts: W911N212D0022 (70 task orders, $76 thousand combined potential value) and W911N217D0022 (53 task orders, $55 thousand combined potential value). These three vehicles together account for 172 of the 184 recorded awards.

Activity was concentrated in 2023 (19 awards) and 2022 (13 awards), with a sharp decline to five awards in 2024, recovering to 12 awards in 2025, and two awards recorded to date in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards amount to $274 thousand, representing only 7 percent of the combined $3.7 million potential value, indicating a backlog of unexecuted delivery orders typical of indefinite delivery vehicles. The narrowness of the customer base and the repetitive, low-dollar transaction structure—dozens of $700 to $1,400 orders per year—positions the vendor as a specialized, captive supplier to a single depot mission rather than a diversified federal contractor. Top NAICS coding reflects this specialization: 105 awards under Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance, and 75 under Motor and Generator Manufacturing. Recompete risk is inherent in the parent indefinite delivery contract structure, but the vendor's established track record and sole specialization in Letterkenny generator support mitigate competitive threat for renewal.
