V & H Material Handling, LLC

V & H Material Handling, LLC, a Pennsylvania-based for-profit limited liability company, supplies and maintains automated storage and retrieval systems (vertical lift modules, vertical carousels, and related material handling equipment) to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor across 60 awards (95% of recent activity). The vendor operates predominantly full-and-open, without set-aside designations on most awards, though two Total Small Business set-aside purchase orders anchor recent Letterkenny Army Depot and Redstone Arsenal work.

The vendor's customer concentration centers tightly on Army and Navy logistics facilities. The top five customer agencies account for 84% of awards by count and 91% by potential value, led by Army Materiel Command's Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal (29 awards, $2.3 million combined potential value) and Naval Supply Systems Command (9 awards, $3.2 million combined potential value). The two rankings diverge meaningfully — Naval Supply Systems Command holds 44% of combined potential value despite placing 15% fewer awards than Redstone Arsenal, signaling that Navy contracts carry higher unit value. Army Communications Electronics Command (10 awards, $277 thousand combined potential value), Defense Logistics Agency Distribution (3 awards, $132 thousand), and Defense Health Agency (1 award, $560 thousand) round out the active set. The vendor is a small business (NAICS 811310 and related machinery repair codes) with over 30 years of material handling systems experience.

Recent representative work includes a $223,520 Total Small Business purchase order from Army Materiel Command Redstone Arsenal (award date February 2, 2026) for annual preventative maintenance, emergency repairs, and documentation services on 17 vertical carousels and 24 vertical lift modules at Letterkenny Army Depot; a $73,800 firm fixed-price purchase order from Naval Supply Systems Command (May 21, 2026) for preventative maintenance of Code N009S vertical storage units in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and a $119,944.95 Total Small Business purchase order from Redstone Arsenal (June 5, 2023) for vertical lift module supply and installation. The vendor also performs removal, relocation, and system-replacement work — a $5,900 Navy removal contract for a Lektriever automated system and a $124,092 Army total small business contract for electromechanical vertical storage unit supply and installation.

Activity has declined over the past five years (five awards in 2021 to one in 2024 and four in 2026 year-to-date), with only one award (Defense Health Agency, $560 thousand combined potential value) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months — minimal recompete exposure in the near term. In its subcontractor role, V & H Material Handling delivers material handling equipment and services to Fluor Marine Propulsion (Naval Nuclear Laboratory and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program support, March 2026), Lockheed Martin (Shuttle HD-500 vertical lift modules, December 2024), and General Dynamics Land Systems (industrial machinery equipment, February 2023). Place of performance spans multiple Army and Navy installations: Letterkenny Army Depot and Redstone Arsenal in Pennsylvania, Tobyhanna Army Depot, Naval facilities in Harrisburg, and other DoD sites. The vendor's footprint is entirely transactional — small-dollar purchase orders for equipment supply, maintenance, and removal — with no presence on government-wide vehicles, BPAs, or indefinite delivery IDIQs.
