About the company
Sims Crane & Equipment Co, a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Tampa, Florida, provides crane rental and rigging services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (75% of awards) and subcontractor on defense test-and-evaluation programs. The vendor operates across construction equipment rental (NAICS 336611, 336414, and related equipment-leasing codes) and marine services, with contract work spanning crane operations, rigging labor, lift planning, and heavy equipment sales.
The vendor's federal customer base concentrates heavily on defense and maritime agencies. The top four funding agencies account for 92% of recent awards: the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard leads with five awards ($16 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Air Force Space Command with four awards ($11 thousand), the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration with one award ($3 thousand), and the Office of the Secretary of Defense with one award. The two rankings align — Coast Guard and Air Force Space Command dominate both volume and dollars — reflecting a narrow customer set with minimal diversification.
Sims places task orders under the Air Force's Indefinite Delivery Contract FA252120D0005 (two task orders) and the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services vehicle (one task order). Recent prime work includes a $3,038.75 purchase order from the Coast Guard for crane service at Cape Canaveral, Florida, awarded and completed September 29, 2026, and a $3,304.80 purchase order from NOAA for crane and hoist service under Total Small Business set-aside, completed January 31, 2022. As a subcontractor, Sims supplies 110-ton all-terrain crane rentals with operators, rigging labor, and spreader beams to BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc. on the Instrumentation Range Support Program III (two sub-awards, August 24, 2023), and provides crane rentals with or without operators and rigging services to Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (December 12, 2024). Activity has been sparse and irregular — one to two awards per year in recent years — with combined potential value of only $31 thousand across all twelve awards since 2006, though obligated dollars ($165 thousand) exceed potential value, reflecting the small transactional nature of individual purchase orders.
