Schutt Industries Of Clintonville, Wis., Inc.

Schutt Industries Of Clintonville, Wis., Inc., operating as Schutt Industries, manufactures military-grade trailers, semitrailers, and automotive components for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor across 897 recent federal awards totaling $1.91 billion in potential value. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Clintonville, Wisconsin, competing exclusively under full-and-open solicitations with no SBA designations, though it holds a single total small business set-aside IDC for M200A1 trailer production and qualifies for total small business set-asides on multiple delivery orders.

Schutt Industries' federal footprint centers on heavy tactical vehicle platforms and components. The vendor manufactures M870A4 semitrailers (the primary logistics asset for Army heavy-truck operations), M200A1 2.5-ton trailers (combat support logistics platforms under Acquisition Category III), and the Water Bison System (a ten-year requirements contract for Unit Water Trailers under Defense Acquisition Program S25). Representative capability work includes a $257.3 million first delivery order under the Water Bison System production base contract (PEO CSCSS, awarded December 2024, for 77 systems with completion February 2027); a $20.1 million April 2026 delivery order for 276 Water Bison systems under the same vehicle's second ordering year; an $11.8 million August 2025 delivery order for M870A4S semitrailers (PEO CSCSS, completion November 2027); and a $9.3 million September 2025 order for 599 M200A1 AMMPS trailers (PEO CSCSS, completion January 2028). Beyond platform vehicles, Schutt supplies automotive subsystems including air brake chambers, brake shoes, axle assemblies, hydraulic actuators, pneumatic wheel rims, and utility access doors through the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime.

Customer concentration heavily favors the Army. The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO CSCSS accounts for 43 awards and $1.06 billion (56% of combined potential value), while the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal holds 140 awards and $667.3 million combined value. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime leads by award count with 466 purchase orders and delivery orders but carries only $19.6 million combined potential value—a divergence reflecting high-volume, low-dollar component procurement versus strategic platform contracts concentrated with the Army. The vendor serves 33 distinct agencies; the top five account for 83% of awards and 96% of dollars.

Schutt operates under a portfolio of eleven active IDCs anchoring its prime work. The $256.7 million Water Bison System production base contract (PEO CSCSS, awarded December 2024, completion December 2034) carries the largest single ceiling. The $230.2 million M870A4 Semitrailer total small business set-aside IDC (PEO CSCSS, awarded February 2025, completion March 2032) funds recurring semitrailer deliveries; three delivery orders totaling $22.2 million have been issued to date. The $55.1 million M200A1 production IDC (PEO CSCSS, awarded October 2024, completion September 2029, total small business set-aside) supports 2.5-ton trailer production with seven delivery orders issued to date, valued between $30,264 and $9.3 million. Eight additional IDCs with DLA Land and Maritime for specific components—axle assemblies, brake shoes, hydraulic actuators, wheel rims, utility access doors, and seal replacement parts—carry $250,000 to $1.4 million ceilings and function as automated purchasing vehicles for high-volume, low-dollar component orders. One further $766,005 IDC with DLA (SPE7L423D0002, completion October 2023) is expired.

Recompete exposure is substantial: twenty awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $342.4 million, driven primarily by the April 2026 Water Bison delivery order ($20.1 million) and ongoing M870A4 and M200A1 trailer orders reaching completion through mid-2027.

Activity has remained steady—52 awards in 2022 to a peak of 72 in 2024—but has slowed in 2025 and 2026 as the source captures only the calendar-year-to-date window (eleven awards in 2026 through mid-April). Across both platform and component work, Schutt competes in unrestricted markets; the single confirmed subcontract award in the source data is a $0 value storage materials order as sub to Science And Engineering Services, LLC (March 2025), indicating the vendor operates primarily as a prime contractor with minimal sub-engagement. The company's NAICS concentration reflects its product portfolio: 254 awards under 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing), 70 under motor vehicle steering and suspension components, 63 under brake system manufacturing, and 74 under hardware manufacturing, with PSC concentration in trailers (237 awards) and vehicular brake, steering, axle, wheel, and track components (225 awards).
