Thomas Heilmann GMBH

Thomas Heilmann GMBH, a Germany-based sole proprietorship, supplies infrastructure maintenance equipment, material-handling machinery, facility furnishings, and related goods to the U.S. Air Force in Europe and Africa as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders and blanket purchase agreements with no set-aside designation.

The vendor's customer footprint concentrates almost entirely on a single customer. The Department of the Air Force United States Air Forces in Europe and Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA) represents 99% of recent awards by count and 100% of combined potential value—197 awards totaling $7.4 million—with all other Air Force customers and agencies contributing marginal volume. This extreme concentration reflects Thomas Heilmann GMBH's regional positioning as a supplies and equipment vendor for U.S. Air Force installations across Europe and Africa, where the vendor operates from its Enkenbach-Alsenborn, Germany headquarters.

Capability work is grounded in industrial equipment and facility supplies. Representative orders include a $214.8 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order for a crane (September 2023), a $246 thousand order for mattresses (September 2022), a $184.3 thousand order for forklifts (September 2022), and a $48.9 thousand order for two electric forklifts (September 2025), all awarded by USAFE-AFAFRICA. The vendor also holds two active single-award BPAs with USAFE-AFAFRICA: an $500 thousand agreement for 80-ton crane rental services running through February 2029, and historical agreements for COVID-19 self-test kits (valued up to $324.1 thousand) and interface carpets and flooring products. The vendor's PSC and NAICS profiles reflect this mix—top categories are maintenance and repair of ground vehicles and equipment (57 awards), warehouse trucks and tractors (32 awards), and industrial machinery wholesaling and repair.

Activity has been sporadic. The vendor recorded six awards in 2021 and four in 2023, but only two orders in 2022 and 2024, with one award in 2025 year-to-date. Across 273 total awards spanning from 1999 to September 2025, combined obligated dollars ($13 million) exceed combined potential value ($9.8 million) by 33%, indicating that actual invoicing has outpaced contract ceilings in several instances. The vendor holds no subcontract footprint and does not sit on government-wide vehicles; all work flows through USAFE-AFAFRICA-issued purchase orders and regional BPAs.
