Werres Corporation

Werres Corporation, doing business as Werres Corp, operates as a prime contractor (99% of awards) providing material handling equipment, logistics services, and equipment maintenance to federal agencies—predominantly the Defense Logistics Agency and civilian departments including Health and Human Services and the Coast Guard. The company competes on a full-and-open basis with no characteristic set-aside posture; recent awards carry no set-aside designations, though a small number of prior task orders were designated Total Small Business.

Werres is headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, and specializes in procurement, rental, maintenance, and repair of material handling equipment including forklifts (electric, diesel, turret, reach, and side-loader variants), pallet jacks, conveyors, vertical lift modules, and automated storage and retrieval systems. Primary NAICS categories reflect this focus: Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing (232 awards), Conveyor and Conveying Equipment Manufacturing (52 awards), and All Other Motor Vehicle Dealers (62 awards). Top PSC codes center on Miscellaneous Materials Handling Equipment (278 awards) and Warehouse Trucks and Tractors, Self-Propelled (114 awards). Representative prime contracts include a $53.4 million delivery order from DLA Distribution for material handling capability at Tinker Air Force Base through January 2028; a $400 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment for material handling equipment (running through April 2025); a $150 million multiple-award IDIQ with DLA Distribution for Logistics Modernization Integration Support services; a $100 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations for auto repair parts and cleaning services; and a $1 million single-award BPA with HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response for material handling equipment and support services to Mission Support Centers.

Customer concentration is stark and defense-dominated. The top five funding agencies account for 97% of combined potential value, anchored by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (71 awards, $407.8 million) and DLA Distribution (82 awards, $249.4 million combined potential value), which together represent over $657 million in potential value. NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations (15 awards, $100.2 million) is a distant third. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons ranks first by award count (124 awards), a volume signal driven by smaller per-award values relative to the DLA portfolio. Werres holds task-order positions on the DLA Troop Support $400 million IDC (approximately 128 delivery orders in the source data), the DLA Distribution $150 million IDIQ (69 delivery orders), and a NIH IDC (61 delivery orders), as well as positions on GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS07F5763A and BOP Buildings and Building Materials vehicle.

Activity has declined year over year: 33 awards in 2022, rising to 44 in 2023, then dropping to 24 in 2024, 16 in 2025, and 6 awards through May 2026. This trajectory, combined with the recompete cliff data, presents material risk: 11 awards (combined potential value $63 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The bulk of this value is concentrated in DLA vehicle task orders, where Werres must defend its position against competitors bidding under the same IDCs and IDIQs.

Werres operates predominantly as a direct-delivery prime with minimal sub engagement. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue totaled $257 thousand across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $78 thousand; FY2023: $83 thousand; FY2024: $96 thousand), reflecting only 0.1–0.2 FTE per fiscal year on SCI-reportable service contracts above the $150,000 threshold. This is a strict subset of the vendor's federal revenues; the bulk of Werres' work consists of goods procurement and equipment rental/sales below the SCI reporting threshold. On SCI-reportable contracts, median government-paid rates ran around $296/hr, with senior labor pricing through $380/hr. Sub-hours share across SCI prime records is 0%, indicating Werres builds its own delivery capability rather than relying on subcontractors. In its rare subcontractor role, Werres delivers global security engineering and supply-chain services to General Dynamics Information Technology and IT services support to Leidos on Air Force contracts.

Werres is a subsidiary of The Raymond Corp, a manufacturer of material handling equipment, which provides parent ownership but does not appear to drive a unique competitive posture. Werres also operates Werres Systems, Inc., a named subsidiary. The vendor has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2001 and has issued a definitive $714 thousand preventative-maintenance contract with the U.S. Coast Guard at Curtis Bay, Baltimore, for Raymond forklift servicing through September 2026—a sole-source award tied to Werres' access to proprietary Raymond firmware.
