About the company
The Progress Group, Inc., doing business as Progress Pump & Machine Services Inc., is a women-owned small business manufacturer of precision-machined components and machine services for federal agencies, operating exclusively as a prime contractor on small-business set-aside purchase orders and blanket purchase agreement calls.
The Progress Group is a Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Schererville, Indiana, certified as a women-owned small business (WOSB) by the SBA. The vendor's work spans machine shops, pump equipment manufacturing, fluid power cylinder and actuator manufacturing, and ship-building support, with recent awards concentrated in mechanical component fabrication and machine services. Representative work includes a May 2026 Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime purchase order for an impeller ring component valued at $20,832 (firm fixed-price, total small business set-aside, completion by November 10, 2026); a July 2025 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ENDIST Huntington BPA call for machine and milling services to support inland waterway fleet maintenance, valued at $7,760 (period of performance through September 30, 2025); and an April 2023 Army Corps of Engineers purchase order for eight OSDP wear sleeves supporting dredging operations aboard the Dredge Essayons, valued at $66,000.
Customer concentration centers on the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Huntington, which accounts for $508,000 across two awards (84% of combined potential value).
