United Rentals (North America), Inc.

United Rentals (North America), Inc., doing business as Taylor Rental Center, supplies temporary equipment rental services to the federal government as a prime contractor (37% of awards) and subcontractor (63% of awards), competing predominantly under full-and-open procurement without small business set-aside designations. A wholly-owned subsidiary of United Rentals, Inc., the world's largest equipment rental company headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, the firm delivers power generation equipment (500 kilowatt to 1,000 kilowatt diesel generators), HVAC systems (temporary dehumidification, chilled water, and exhaust systems), portable sanitation facilities, materials handling equipment (forklifts, telehandlers, boom lifts), heavy construction machinery (dozers, excavators, loaders), and emergency response infrastructure across 141 distinct federal customer agencies.

Naval Sea Systems Command dominates United Rentals' federal customer base, accounting for 425 awards worth $18.5 million in combined potential value—59% of the vendor's prime and sub award count. This concentration reflects sustained work supporting ship maintenance, repair, and modernization availabilities (DSRA, SRA, and DMP periods) across Naval Base Kings Bay, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and other major naval installations, where United Rentals provides generators, chillers, dehumidification systems, and specialized lifting equipment to Navy shipbuilders including BAE Systems Maritime Solutions (Norfolk, Jacksonville, San Diego), Huntington Ingalls, Vigor Marine, and National Steel and Shipbuilding. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Baltimore ranks second by potential value at $6.6 million across 19 awards, while the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command contributes $489 thousand across 66 awards. Federal Emergency Management Agency places 12 awards worth $421 thousand, primarily through a $250,000 blanket purchase agreement (effective through October 2027) for portable sanitation and emergency equipment, and the Coast Guard has awarded 30 orders worth $302 thousand for equipment repairs and emergency rentals.

United Rentals holds a GSA Federal Supply Schedule position (issued September 29, 2026, ceiling $900,000 through September 2028) for nationwide temporary equipment rental covering power generation, HVAC, materials handling, dehumidification, and portable sanitation equipment. The vendor executes task orders under multiple Naval Sea Systems Command indefinite delivery vehicles, including contract N0002418D4325 (19 task orders), 68HE0720D0002 (16 task orders), and NAVSEA SE Ship Maintenance Repair and Modernization 2016–2021 (16 task orders). The firm also holds single-award blanket purchase agreements with the Army Corps of Engineers Huntington District ($749,000 through September 2028) for heavy equipment rentals and Federal Emergency Management Agency ($250,000 through October 2027) for portable sanitation and disaster response equipment. Additionally, United Rentals executes task orders under Region 4–6 Emergency and Rapid Response Services (27 task orders) and operates under Environmental Quality Management contracts supporting EPA emergency response, particularly hazardous-waste remediation and environmental cleanup operations.

Recent representative prime work includes a $2.939 million definitive contract awarded by Naval Sea Systems Command in March 2026 for rental of a temporary HVAC exhaust system with additional equipment at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (completion May 31, 2028), a $1.21 million definitive contract for temporary dehumidification system rental at Portsmouth (completion May 31, 2028), a $455,517 purchase order for chilled water system rental to USS New Hampshire (completion June 4, 2028), a $200,117 USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service purchase order for temporary HVAC equipment rental at the National Center for Applied Plant Protection facility in Maryland, and a $165,100 Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order for diesel generator rental at Point Loma in San Diego. As a subcontractor, United Rentals provides equipment rental to shipbuilders BAE Systems Maritime Solutions (receiving dozens of orders for direct equipment rentals on USS-class repair availabilities), Jacobs Project Management for San Juan Lateral Water Treatment Plant operations, Environmental Quality Management for emergency response work (East Palestine train derailment site, American Lead Site, Yuma cathode ray tube remediation), GE Renewables for generator rewind services, Amentum Spaceport for Kennedy Space Center base operations, and Pantexas Deterrence for Pantex Plant operations.

Award volume has accelerated sharply—24 awards in 2022 to 372 in 2025—driven by heavy Naval Sea Systems Command utilization of ship maintenance vehicles. Sixteen awards worth $10.9 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure concentrated within the Naval Sea Systems Command shipyard support portfolio. The vendor's award distribution clusters heavily in Ship Building and Repairing (480 awards), Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (219 awards), Remediation Services (89 awards), and Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (65 awards). Combined potential value across all 1,122 awards stands at $38.9 million, with obligated dollars reaching $58.6 million, indicating invoiced revenue substantially exceeding initial contract ceilings due to the rental model's consumption-based pricing and task-order accumulation across the Navy's high-utilization shipyard programs.
