About the company
The Champion Company Ground Support Equipment Division, doing business as Champion, manufactures specialized ground support equipment, shipping containers, and precision components for defense and aerospace applications as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) to the U.S. Department of Defense. The company is a for-profit manufacturer based in Springfield, Ohio, with no recorded SBA small business set-aside designations across its prime footprint, though individual awards occasionally carry total small business set-aside tags; Champion competes predominantly on an unrestricted, full-and-open basis.
Champion's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The top five customer agencies by combined potential value account for 96% of recent award dollars: NAVSUP leads with 82 awards valued at $25 million combined potential value; Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSUP subordinate) holds six awards worth $3.7 million; DLA Aviation places 353 awards (the highest volume) but with a combined potential value of only $2.5 million, reflecting the transactional purchase-order character of that customer relationship; Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal contributes 19 awards for $1.6 million; and DLA Land and Maritime delivers 44 awards worth $784 thousand. The dollar concentration at NAVSUP versus the volume concentration at DLA Aviation reveals a two-tier customer structure: NAVIS sources high-value definitive contracts for specialized shipping containers and storage services (often flight-critical items requiring source approval), while DLA Aviation places numerous low-dollar purchase orders for commodity ground support items such as hardwood skids, seals, nuts, and fasteners.
Champion's capability portfolio is rooted in ground support equipment manufacturing. Recent representative work includes a $1.28 million Naval Supply Systems Command definitive contract (awarded September 2023) for 36 flight-critical shipping containers, a $1.48 million NAVSUP shipping and storage contract (March 2022), and a $1.47 million NAVSUP total small business set-aside for shipping and storage of specialized NSN items (June 2022). DLA Aviation purchase orders span lower-value recurring supplies: an $8,320 hardwood skid order (October 2025), a $10,190 plain hexagon nut order (November 2025), a $9,125 nonmetallic seal order (November 2025), and dozens of similar sub-$25,000 transactional awards for runner wood, gaskets, humidity indicators, and skid components. Champion also holds subcontract work under Oshkosh Defense LLC (truck components and fabricated transmissions for HEMTT platforms, six orders since January 2024) and RTX Corporation (depot activation shared services, two orders in late 2025).
Champion holds five IDCs with primary Department of Defense customers: Indefinite Delivery Contract W56HZV05D0183 (six task orders), F4160889D2796 (four task orders), F4160888C0223 (three task orders), N0038384C2036 (two task orders), and N0038384C2205 (two task orders). The top NAICS categories are Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (225 awards) and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (75 awards); the top PSC is Specialized Shipping and Storage Containers (489 awards). Activity has contracted sharply from 55 awards in 2022 to 25 in 2023, recovering slightly to 31 in 2024 and 27 in 2025. Only one award with combined potential value of $1.3 million faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Champion has maintained SAM registration since April 2002 and earned source-approval qualification for flight-critical items, positioning the company as an incumbent supplier for specialized naval logistics requirements that restrict competition to approved sources.
