Schoellhorn - Albrecht Machine Co Inc.

Schoellhorn - Albrecht Machine Co Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, delivers specialized marine deck equipment, naval hardware, and structural castings to the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and federal maritime agencies as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards). The company competes across full-and-open and small business set-aside categories, with total small business set-asides accounting for roughly half of its recent prime contract volume.

Schoellhorn - Albrecht's product portfolio centers on marine and naval equipment manufactured to military specifications: rope cleats, marine anchors (including fluke anchors and mooring anchors), hawser reels, accommodation ladders, capstans, winches, mooring bitts, cable guides, chocks, rope thimbles, padeyes, brows, and struts. The company also manufactures fabricated structural metal components, including stem bar castings, bolster castings, and bearing housing castings for DDG 51 class guided-missile destroyers. Representative prime work includes a $12.99 million firm fixed-price definitive contract from the U.S. Coast Guard (September 2023) for anchor windlass replacement on WMEC 270, a $718,800 definitive contract from Naval Sea Systems Command (September 2021) for 18,000-pound naval mooring anchors, a $311,000 small business set-aside from Military Sealift Command (May 2024) for accommodation ladders on the USNS Kaiser, and a $342,000 small business set-aside from Naval Sea Systems Command (April 2022) for Trident brows and standard brows at Kings Bay, Georgia. Recent 2025–2026 activity includes a $88,218 total small business set-aside for 12 marine fluke anchors (October 2025), a $224,000 open competition order for marine fluke anchors (August 2025), and a $67,000 total small business set-aside for fabricated anchors to Naval Sea Systems Command (January 2026).

Customer concentration sits overwhelmingly with maritime and naval operations. The top five funding agencies account for 75% of awards by count: Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (163 awards, $4.1 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (64 awards, $3.1 million), U.S. Coast Guard (37 awards, $14 million), DLA Aviation (20 awards, $429 thousand), and Military Sealift Command (19 awards, $5.1 million). When ranked by potential value, the Coast Guard leads at $14 million across 37 awards, reflecting large vessel and windlass programs; Army Materiel Command TACOM Life Cycle Management Command ranks second at $7.1 million across five awards, driven primarily by the indefinite delivery contract for aviation spare parts ($126,327 ceiling through April 2026, with approximately $85,775 in delivery orders to date); and Military Sealift Command, DLA Land and Maritime, and Naval Sea Systems Command follow. The top parent vehicles are indefinite delivery contracts with Army Materiel Command (SPRRA221D0013, three task orders, $86 thousand combined potential), rather than government-wide GWACs or schedule vehicles.

Activity has grown sharply in 2025 with 42 awards compared to 19–27 annually in prior years; most recent awards are small purchase orders under $100,000, reflecting the company's position as a repair parts and replacement equipment supplier to fleet maintenance programs. The recompete horizon shows minimal near-term risk, with only one award completing within the next twenty-four months and $39 thousand in exposure.

In its subcontractor role, Schoellhorn - Albrecht serves as a casting and structural-component supplier to major shipbuilders: Huntington Ingalls Incorporated (stem bar castings, bolster castings, and bearing housing castings for DDG 51 and FFG(X) construction, with sub-awards dating from 2022 through October 2025), Eastern Shipbuilding Group (miscellaneous components on Offshore Patrol Cutter and LPC construction, 2025), Marinette Marine Corporation (chocks and bitts for FFG(X) frigate construction, 2022–2023), and KBR Services LLC (D-ring components for Marine Corps Prepositioning Program Navy support, 2025). A single Leidos sub-award (September 2025, operations and sustainment procurement) represents diversification outside the shipbuilding base. The company does not engage subcontractors on its prime contracts — it manufactures in-house — and SCI reporting (FY2023–2024) captures minimal service-contract activity and yields no hourly-rate signal; the vendor's business model is transactional goods manufacturing, not labor-hour services.

Schoellhorn - Albrecht has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2002 and holds a veteran-owned small business designation. Its manufacturing footprint spans two primary locations: Sappington, Missouri (primary facility) and St. Louis, Missouri, with delivery performed to DLA Distribution centers, naval shipyards (Kings Bay, Portsmouth, Bremerton), and vessel homeports (San Diego, Norfolk, Guam). The company's federal customer base encompasses the Navy, Coast Guard, Army, DLA, Military Sealift Command, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Army Corps of Engineers, reflecting broad penetration across maritime and naval logistics supply chains.
