Superior-Lidgerwood-Mundy Corp

Superior-Lidgerwood-Mundy Corp, operating as Lidgerwood Division, is a 150-year-old family-owned manufacturer of specialized maritime winch, hoist, and capstan systems that competes as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards) on full-and-open federal procurements for the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy, and Army. The company is registered as a small business under NAICS 333923 (Overhead Traveling Crane, Hoist, and Monorail System Manufacturing) and PSC L008 (Winches, Hoists, Cranes, and Derricks), headquartered in Superior, Wisconsin, with manufacturing and service locations in Wisconsin, Texas, Mississippi, and other performance sites. Superior-Lidgerwood-Mundy Corp does not hold SBA certifications and does not compete under set-aside vehicles; recent awards split between full-and-open competitive procurements and sole-source awards leveraging the company's original equipment manufacturer status on specialized maritime components.

The company's customer concentration is heavily skewed to maritime agencies. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 75% of recent awards, anchored by the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard (68 awards, $9.3 million combined potential value) and followed by the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (15 awards, $2.4 million), the Department of the Army (8 awards, $11.4 million), and the Army Corps of Engineers (6 awards, $1.9 million). The Department of the Army's $11.4 million commitment in potential value ranks highest despite fewer awards—a definitive contract awarded October 1, 2025, for the design, manufacture, and delivery of hydraulic mooring winches for the MVK Mooring Barge under a total small business set-aside, with ultimate completion November 30, 2028, and performance in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The Coast Guard's dollar ranking is supported by a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) with a $1.946 million ceiling running through September 2026 for depot-level maintenance, repair, and overhaul services on centerline and carriage winch systems aboard Coast Guard cutters, from which multiple delivery orders have been issued. Recent representative Coast Guard prime awards include a $665,700 purchase order (August 26, 2025) for miscellaneous small boat handling parts for National Security Cutters (ultimate completion February 12, 2026) and a $302,341.70 purchase order (June 4, 2026) for winch parts for the same platform (ultimate completion September 30, 2027). Naval Sea Systems Command work encompasses design and production of specialized maritime equipment such as a $714,950 firm fixed-price purchase order (July 17, 2025) for an electric warping capstan for USS Forrest Sherman (DDG-98), with ultimate completion October 7, 2026, and a $679,840 definitive contract (October 29, 2024) for aft warping capstan replacement and long-lead-time material for USS HALSEY (DDG-97), with ultimate completion January 2, 2026.

Award activity has remained moderate across the review window, with ten awards in 2022, eight in 2023, seventeen in 2024, seven in 2025, and two in 2026. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months exposes only $549 thousand in combined potential value across two awards, indicating limited near-term contract completion risk. The company's service-contract inventory (SCI) footprint is minimal: SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $854 thousand in FY2022 across approximately 0.9 full-time equivalents, with zero invoiced amounts in FY2024 and FY2025. The single SCI-reportable prime contract reflects hourly rates of $471.21 per hour across the tenth, median, and ninetieth percentiles, positioning the company at lower-cost technical service delivery rather than senior-level labor. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performed zero percent of hours through subcontractors, indicating direct in-house delivery of service work.

Superior-Lidgerwood-Mundy Corp operates predominantly as a prime contractor on equipment manufacturing and repair purchases; subcontracting activity is sparse, representing 4% of recent awards. Named sub work routes through large shipbuilders: the company delivered winch and hoist systems design and construction as a subcontractor to Marinette Marine Corporation on FFG(X) Guided Missile Frigate programs (multiple modifications and awards from October 2023 to December 2024), and provided National Security Cutter spare parts and warranty work as a subcontractor to Huntington Ingalls Incorporated (July 19, 2024 modification). The company maintains active business relationships with major shipbuilders including Huntington Ingalls Incorporated and Bath Iron Works Corporation as a specialized component and systems supplier. The parent entity is Lidgerwood Manufacturing Company, a for-profit corporate entity with one named subsidiary, M.t. Davidson Company, also registered as a manufacturer of goods.

Superior-Lidgerwood-Mundy Corp's capability portfolio centers on the design, manufacture, and depot-level support of hydraulic and electric winch systems, capstans, hoists, brake assemblies, and marine cargo handling components for naval vessels, Coast Guard cutters, and specialized applications. Beyond maritime prime work, the company has delivered specialized equipment for non-maritime federal customers: a $840,003.75 total small business set-aside purchase order (May 1, 2024) from NASA Langley Research Center for a multi-hoist and air caster system to support impact dynamics testing under the Human Landing Systems program for the Moon Landing Test project (ultimate completion December 9, 2024), and a $47,500 commercial item purchase order (June 12, 2025) from NASA's National Shared Services Center for gantry winch commissioning services at Langley's Landing and Impact Research Facility, including functional testing, personnel training, and technical documentation (ultimate completion March 30, 2026). This cross-sector work underscores the company's engineering depth in winch-system commissioning and field support beyond traditional ship repair.
