Wagner Equipment Co

Wagner Equipment Co Aurora - Corporate Division, doing business as Wagner Equipment Co and its subsidiaries, is an authorized Caterpillar equipment dealer that provides heavy equipment sales, maintenance, repair, rental, and parts supply to federal agencies as a prime contractor (92% of awards) and, less frequently, as a subcontractor to national laboratory and defense contractors. The company competes full-and-open, with no SBA set-aside participation across its federal footprint. Wagner Equipment Co is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Aurora, Colorado, operating as the parent of fourteen named subsidiaries bearing the Wagner Equipment Co brand.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on Caterpillar heavy equipment maintenance and repair services across construction machinery (dozers, motor graders, loaders, backhoes, scrapers), power generation equipment (emergency and diesel generators), and equipment rentals for federal land management and military operations. Representative prime work includes a $195,542 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of the Interior Navajo Region in June 2025 for dozer repairs; a $35,372 indefinite delivery contract from the Indian Health Service in November 2022 for generator preventative maintenance and emergency services across New Mexico IHS facilities through November 2027; and a $250,000 five-year single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6, awarded March 2024, for mobile heavy equipment maintenance and repair services at three Colorado Front Range national wildlife refuges. The company also holds a $250,000 single-award indefinite delivery contract with IHS, now closed (ultimate completion July 2022), that provided generator maintenance services across IHS facilities. Recent smaller awards include an $9,445 firm fixed-price contract from the International Boundary and Water Commission in August 2025 for fuel injector diagnostics and replacement on a scraper.

Customer concentration sits with federal land management and military-support agencies. The top five customers account for 45% of award count and 49% of combined potential value, led by the Department of the Army Colorado Army National Guard (67 awards, $871 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Region (23 awards, $938 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service (10 awards, $457 thousand combined potential value). The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration round out the active customer set. The two rankings converge on dollar concentration: Navajo Region, Army National Guard, and IHS anchor both volume and dollars, reflecting Wagner's role as a maintenance-service provider for critical federal infrastructure at tribal facilities, military installations, and national forests.

Wagner's primary parent vehicle is an Army indefinite delivery contract (W912LC05A0001), against which 66 task orders have been issued carrying $871 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor also holds positions on the General Services Administration's One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services—Small Business vehicle (four task orders) and a pair of Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Department of the Interior. The federal contract footprint has grown sharply in recent years—four awards in 2022, nineteen in 2024—though activity has moderated to ten awards in 2025 (partial year). Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $35 thousand), indicating limited recompete exposure in the near term.

Wagner operates primarily as a prime contractor delivering its own maintenance and repair teams; the sub-award footprint (27 awards, 8% of the portfolio) reflects procurement requests routed through larger prime contractors such as Leidos (supporting U.S. Antarctic Program logistics and C5ISR sustainment), Triad National Security (Los Alamos National Laboratory management and operation), Netcentric Technology (Kirtland Air Force Base engineering operations), and unnamed contractors managing the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. These subcontract roles involve Caterpillar equipment maintenance, diesel generator design and fabrication, and construction equipment services. Service Contract Inventory reporting captures minimal Wagner activity—one FY2024 sub-award record with zero FTEs—indicating that the vendor's federal work is dominated by goods procurement and equipment maintenance task orders below or outside the $150,000 SCI threshold, with no capturable prime service contracts above that reporting floor in the dataset period.

The vendor operates across NAICS codes reflecting its dual equipment and services posture: Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (92 awards), Motor Vehicle Parts Merchant Wholesalers (67 awards), and Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (41 awards). Top PSC categories include Cranes and Crane-Shovels, Earth Moving and Excavating Equipment, and Miscellaneous Materials Handling Equipment, underscoring the construction and land-management focus of its customer base.
