Tower Elevator Systems, Inc.

Tower Elevator Systems, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Round Rock, Texas, manufactures and maintains industrial elevators, vertical reciprocating conveyors, and special purpose vehicle lifting equipment for the Department of Defense and civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor operating in full-and-open competition without set-aside designation.

Tower Elevator Systems' federal footprint concentrates heavily on preventive maintenance, repair, and component replacement services for elevator and lifting equipment at military installations. The company holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC W912CN22D0008) with the U.S. Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM) Pacific Region, valued at $831,513.77 with a ceiling through September 28, 2027, under which it has issued 22 delivery orders worth approximately $942 thousand combined. Work includes monthly, quarterly, and annual preventive maintenance inspections; routine gearbox and motor repairs; safety brake replacements; and equipment component fabrication and installation at Schofield Barracks in Mililani, Hawaii. Representative delivery orders include a $161,836.77 preventive maintenance contract through September 2026, a $71,112 non-preventative maintenance task order, a $154,569.18 annual preventive maintenance cycle, and repair orders ranging from $15,000 to $69,720. The company also holds an older single-award IDC (W912CN17D0015) with IMCOM Pacific Region valued at approximately $831,513.77, against which 38 prior delivery orders have been issued (combined potential value $910 thousand). Outside the Army, Tower Elevator Systems holds a $151,925.40 definitive contract with the Federal Aviation Administration for rack and pinion elevator maintenance at San Francisco Airport Surface Detection Equipment through December 31, 2027, issued as a total small business set-aside despite the company's general full-and-open posture. The company has also worked with the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (four awards, $2.5 million combined potential value) and the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (one award, $1.9 million).

Customer concentration is extreme. The Army IMCOM Pacific Region accounts for 62 of 69 total awards (99% coverage) and $3.4 million of the $8.4 million combined potential value across the portfolio. The Navy and DLA Aviation together represent the remaining dollar value, while the FAA contract is singular. Awards per year have declined from ten in 2022 and 2023 to five in 2024, four in 2025, and one through April 2026, indicating a sharp contraction in recent ordering velocity. Four awards carrying combined potential value of $420 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. The company generates revenue through NAICS 333921 (Elevator and Moving Stairway Manufacturing) on 40 awards and NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance) on 23 awards, with performance classified under PSC codes for materials handling equipment maintenance and repair (44 awards) and miscellaneous equipment maintenance (20 awards). Combined potential value across all 69 awards is $8.4 million, with $6.6 million obligated as of the source date, reflecting a 79% obligation rate. Tower Elevator Systems operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
