Thompson Machinery Commerce Corporation

Thompson Machinery Commerce Corporation, doing business as a Caterpillar Authorized Dealer through its Thompson Machinery / Thompson Power division, supplies heavy equipment repair, maintenance, parts, and rental services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing exclusively full-and-open with no set-aside designations on the vast majority of awards. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in La Vergne, Tennessee, and operates as a parent entity with subsidiary Sitech Tri-Rivers, LLC; Thompson Machinery holds no SBA certifications and competes on commercial terms across its federal footprint.

Thompson Machinery's capability portfolio centers on repair and maintenance of Caterpillar construction and power generation equipment, parts supply and inventory management, and rental of generators, compressors, heavy lift equipment, and mobile machinery. The company has executed over 560 prime awards across a 33-year federal history, with representative work including a $1.35 million sole-source purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VISN 9) for ongoing maintenance, rebuild, and repair of a Caterpillar G3520C combined heat and power generator set at a Nashville VA medical center through November 2026; a $450,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Huntington District for Caterpillar parts and services running through August 2028; and a $52.6 thousand BPA call from USACE Huntington for critical spare parts supply to the heavy capacity fleet in Louisville, Kentucky. Recent purchase orders include a $36.7 thousand DOI Fish and Wildlife Service contract for Caterpillar Model 314 backhoe loader repair in Grenada, Mississippi (May 2025), a $57,000 VA generator controller retrofit at the Murfreesboro Campus (July 2025), and a $15.2 thousand FWS contract for supply and delivery of a hydraulic power box rake for Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge (June 2026).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to regional federal field operations. The top five customers by award count and potential value account for 64% to 84% of the portfolio, respectively. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Memphis Engineering District dominates with 204 awards and $7 million in combined potential value; the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 follows with 40 awards and $3.9 million; and the Corps' Huntington District contributes 2 awards worth $950 thousand, while the Vicksburg District carries 58 awards for $380 thousand. The Tennessee Valley Authority (40 awards) and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 (20 awards, $225 thousand) round out the core customer set. This geographic and organizational clustering reflects Thompson Machinery's positioning as a local Caterpillar dealer serving federal facilities and civil works projects across the Mississippi River Basin and Mid-South regions.

Thompson Machinery places the majority of its work under two indefinite delivery contracts: 159 task orders flow through Indefinite Delivery Contract W912EQ08A0002 (combined potential value $632 thousand), and 15 task orders sit on Indefinite Delivery Contract 99P5K244546002. A single $52.6 thousand BPA call passed through Blanket Purchase Agreement W9123723A0025. The primary NAICS profile is Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (276 awards), followed by Construction and Mining Machinery Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (54 awards) and Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery Rental and Leasing (22 awards). Top PSC categories include Miscellaneous Vehicular Components (118 awards), Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Construction/Mining Equipment (38 awards), and Earth Moving and Excavating Equipment (29 awards).

Activity has remained relatively modest and steady — 3 awards in 2022, growing to 12 in 2024, then 11 in 2025 — with only one award reaching ultimate completion within the next 24 months (combined potential value $1.4 million), indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. Thompson Machinery operates as a subcontractor on a small footprint (2% of recent awards), primarily providing equipment rental under the TEST OPERATIONS AND SUSTAINMENT (TOS) II program through Beyond New Horizons, LLC as prime, supplying generators, compressors, scissor lifts, aerial lift booms, and articulating dump trucks to federal facilities. The company also holds a sub-award from Alutiiq Operations Services, LLC for electrical services at the Memphis IRS center. Thompson Machinery's federal footprint reflects a stable, regionally concentrated vendor relationship with construction, water resources, and healthcare operators that rely on continuous Caterpillar equipment support and spare parts availability.
