Schindler Elevator Corporation

Schindler Elevator Corporation, a for-profit manufacturer and global elevator and escalator provider headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey, operates as a prime contractor across federal agencies and competes on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis, delivering elevator maintenance, repair, modernization, and construction services to civilian and defense facilities nationwide.

Schindler's federal footprint spans 123 customer agencies with 1,135 total awards (99% prime, 1% subcontractor) and a combined potential value of $1.32 billion. The vendor concentration tracks heavily to the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service, which accounts for 81 awards and $417.7 million in combined potential value—over 31% of the total portfolio by dollars. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration networks contribute a secondary cluster, with Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (12 awards, $11.1 million), Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (13 awards, $9.7 million), and Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 anchoring ongoing elevator maintenance contracts at VA medical centers. The top five customers by potential value represent 34% of Schindler's combined federal award dollars. Award volume has grown from 26 orders in 2022 to 41 in 2024, though 2025 and 2026 year-to-date activity (28 and 14 awards respectively) reflects a typical seasonal and project-cycle variance. Eighteen awards worth $7.7 million combined face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months.

Schindler's work splits across three distinct NAICS categories: Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (418 awards), Other Building Equipment Contractors (201 awards), and Elevator and Moving Stairway Manufacturing (158 awards), with PSC coding dominated by equipment maintenance and materials handling (435 combined awards). Representative concrete work includes a $5.85 million design-build elevator modernization delivery order from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts for the Moynihan Courthouse in New York, awarded July 2025 and scheduled for completion April 2028; a $709,260 modernization of a freight elevator at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans facility, awarded July 2024 and completing May 2026; a $269,027.76 five-year vertical transportation maintenance contract with the U.S. Air Force Space Command at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida, awarded October 2023; and a $1.23 million elevator operation, maintenance, and repair contract with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission at Two White Flint North in Maryland, awarded July 2024 and running through July 2029. Smaller orders ($3,000 to $100,000 range) from the U.S. Secret Service and Department of Justice for emergency and preventative elevator service at facilities in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and other locations are routine.

Schindler holds three major federal contract vehicles. The $650 million National Elevator Modernization and Construction indefinite-delivery multiple-award contract with GSA, exercised through option year 2 on September 4, 2024, targets task orders exceeding $1 million for design, installation, and commissioning of elevator and escalator systems at federal facilities nationwide on an unrestricted basis. The $46.554 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract, awarded September 2022 and extending through September 2027, operates as a multi-agency vehicle under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), with 348 delivery orders under it totaling $54.4 million combined potential value. Hourly labor rates span Mechanic Bonus Time Only at $348.16/hr, Helper Straight Time at $402.99/hr, and Mechanic Straight Time at $503.71/hr, with no security clearance requirements and quantity discounts from 2–14% based on annual spending. A third vehicle, the $538,472.85 single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 for elevator maintenance and inspection at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia, runs through July 31, 2027, with three delivery orders issued to date ranging from $97,800 to $102,000 in value.

Schindler operates predominantly as a prime contractor (99% of awards by count) and builds its own delivery teams; SCI-reported invoicing was $457 thousand across FY2022–FY2025, with median government-paid rates around $310.84/hr on federal services contracts captured in the dataset. The vendor delivered an average of 0% sub-hours on prime contracts, indicating Schindler performs work directly. Subcontractor engagement occurs on select larger infrastructure projects; named primes Schindler subcontracts to include MC. Dean, Inc. (facilities engineering, operations, and maintenance for ten federal buildings in Washington, D.C.; elevator maintenance), Eastern Construction & Electric Inc. (design-build facility restoration and elevator installation at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey), Alutiiq Logistics & Maintenance Services, LLC (DOE/NNSA facilities support in Albuquerque, New Mexico), and Stampede Ventures, Inc. (new elevator service and repair task orders).

Activity has remained stable and consistent across the review period, with no major cliff in recompete exposure. Schindler's federal posture reflects a established, established incumbent position anchored to GSA and VA vehicles, with capacity to absorb large design-build and modernization work alongside routine maintenance and emergency service calls across the government's vertical transportation infrastructure footprint.
