Schindler Elevator Corporation

Schindler Elevator Corporation, headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey, is a global manufacturer and service provider competing as a prime contractor (99% of awards) for elevator construction, modernization, maintenance, repair, and emergency support services across the federal government on a full-and-open, unrestricted basis with no set-aside designations applied to its recent portfolio. The company operates across 123 distinct federal agencies, with combined potential value of $1.32 billion across 1,113 prime awards and 15 sub-awards, though only $141.7 million (11% of potential value) is currently obligated. Schindler's federal contracting footprint extends back to at least 2002, positioning it as an established, large-business federal contractor in vertical transportation infrastructure.

Customer concentration is pronounced. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service dominates by both metrics—77 awards carrying $413.8 million in potential value represent 34% of the vendor's combined potential-value universe. GSA regions account for a disproportionate share: GSA Public Buildings Service Region 5 (Detroit) places 37 awards ($8.3 million combined), GSA Region 3 (Harrisburg) places 34 awards ($3.6 million combined). Department of Veterans Affairs facilities form a secondary concentration: VISN 22 ($11.1 million across 12 awards), VISN 4 ($9.7 million across 13 awards), and VISN 2 ($4.1 million across 22 awards) anchor VA revenue. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Detention Center Philadelphia places 33 awards valued at $1.3 million combined. By award count, these five entities cover only 19% of total awards, but by potential value they represent 34%, indicating a skew toward large, longer-term vehicles at GSA and VA.

Schindler holds two primary vehicle platforms. A $650 million General Services Administration multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract for elevator construction and modernization (National Elevator Modernization and Construction program, awarded September 4, 2024, running through September 3, 2029) targets task orders above $1 million for federal facilities nationwide and carries a NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) footprint. Recent task-order examples include a $5.85 million design-build modernization of the Moynihan Courthouse in New York (awarded July 9, 2025, completing April 28, 2028) and a $709,260 modernization of a freight elevator at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans facility (awarded July 19, 2024, completing May 19, 2026). A $46.55 million GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract (Multiple Award Schedule, awarded September 17, 2022, running through September 16, 2027) enables federal agencies to place delivery orders without competitive procurement for vertical transportation maintenance and repair work. Labor rates on the GSA schedule span three categories—Mechanic Bonus Time Only ($336.38/hr), Helper Straight Time ($389.36/hr), and Mechanic Straight Time ($486.67/hr)—with no education or security clearance requirements. The Multiple Award Schedule vehicle has generated 348 task orders with $54.4 million combined potential value. A third platform, a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 (Clarksburg, West Virginia), carries a $538,472.85 ceiling (award date August 1, 2022, extending through July 31, 2027) and has supported three delivery orders for maintenance and inspection services at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center. Schindler also holds a $1.66 million single-award IDIQ with GSA Region 5 (McNamara Federal Building, Detroit, Michigan) running through July 31, 2026.

Award activity has averaged 25–41 awards per year over the past five fiscal years, with 41 in FY2024 (the peak) and 7 in FY2026 (year-to-date through June 15, 2026). Thirteen awards totaling $6.8 million in potential value complete within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS concentration reflects its core business: Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (418 awards), Other Building Equipment Contractors (195 awards), and Elevator and Moving Stairway Manufacturing (157 awards) dominate the portfolio. PSC codes confirm the same focus—Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment-Miscellaneous (218 awards), Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment-Materials Handling (215 awards), and Freight Elevators (55 awards) lead the category breakdown.

Schindler operates as a prime across its entire federal footprint, with subcontractor engagement minimal (1% of awards as a sub). The Service Contract Inventory reports sporadic activity: $219 thousand in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue in FY2023 across 0.3 FTEs, with FY2022 and FY2024 showing zero SCI-captured revenue. SCI FTE trajectory shows 6.8 FTEs in FY2022, 0.3 in FY2023, and 1.8 in FY2024 across a mix of prime and sub records, but these figures represent a small slice of the vendor's actual federal workforce and are not indicative of total company revenue or employment. When Schindler does sub, it performs under primes including Alutiiq Logistics & Maintenance Services (DOE/NNSA facilities support in Albuquerque), Eastern Construction & Electric Inc. (design-build and facility restoration projects at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and other military sites), and Stampede Ventures, Inc. (elevator service and repair task orders), typically delivering elevator repair, installation, and maintenance labor on larger construction or facilities support primes.

Recent concrete work exemplifies the portfolio. A $835,740 firm fixed-price purchase order from Department of Veterans Affairs VISN 2 (awarded October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2029) covers full maintenance and repair services for 16 elevators and one dumbwaiter across the Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany, including equipment from multiple manufacturers. A $1.23 million definitive contract with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (awarded July 3, 2024, extending through July 5, 2029) covers elevator operation, maintenance, and repair at the NRC Two White Flint North Building in North Bethesda, Maryland. A $269,027.76 delivery order from the U.S. Air Force Space Command (awarded October 13, 2023, running through October 12, 2028) provides vertical transportation equipment maintenance, repair, and inspection services at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida, under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. Schindler also performs numerous smaller emergency and routine maintenance orders through GSA and VA—typical delivery orders range from $3,000 to $50,000 for tasks such as elevator technician services at Secret Service facilities, door-restrictor repairs, motor field replacements, load testing, and emergency repairs at federal courthouses, detention centers, and administrative buildings nationwide. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on preventative maintenance, emergency repairs, safety inspections, modernization of control systems and door mechanisms, component replacement (sheaves, hoists, contactors, drives, processors), and design-build construction for full elevator system upgrades compliant with ASME A17.1 codes and industry standards.
