About the company
Wheeler Machinery Co, doing business as Caterpillar, a Salt Lake City–based heavy equipment dealer and an authorized Caterpillar distributor, supplies equipment rental, parts, maintenance, and repair services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, with 100% of recent awards held as prime contracts (640 awards) and negligible subcontractor activity (1 sub award). The company operates as a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation and is a subsidiary of Monsen Engineering LLC; it competes full-and-open and holds no SBA set-aside certifications, though two recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations.
Wheeler Machinery's federal footprint is overwhelmingly concentrated in equipment rental and maintenance. The company anchors its business to two large indefinite delivery vehicles with the Bureau of Reclamation: a newly recompeted $15 million multiple-award IDIQ running through September 2031 (awarded September 2026) and a prior $15 million single-award IDC that ran through May 2026. From these vehicles, Wheeler Machinery has placed 87 task orders valued at $14.4 million and 37 task orders valued at $6.7 million respectively. Representative delivery orders include a $1.51 million Yuma, Arizona heavy equipment rental order for the YMCA Pond Pad project (awarded August 2024), a $2.16 million Cibola Unit 1 Phase 3 equipment rental for Blythe, California (awarded August 2023, completed July 2024), and a $428.8 thousand Provo Delta bridge-work equipment rental (awarded June 2022). The company also holds a single-award $300,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with the National Park Service Intermountain Region (awarded April 2025) covering stand-by generator maintenance services across five generators at three sites at Grand Canyon National Park's North Rim, with nine task orders valued at $326,000.
Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation accounts for 158 awards (49% of the total) valued at $59.3 million (79% of combined potential value). The top five customers—Bureau of Reclamation, Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region, Veterans Integrated Service Network 19, National Park Service Intermountain Region, and Army Materiel Command—represent 87% of combined potential value across 263 awards. All work is concentrated in Western water infrastructure, national parks, and forest-service trail and facility maintenance. The vendor serves 37 distinct federal agencies, but the long tail is negligible.
Activity has remained relatively flat year over year (23 awards in 2022, 28 in 2024, 25 in 2025), with 13 awards so far in 2026. Six awards carrying $1.7 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and represent recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory reporting is minimal and outdated: $1.8 million in invoiced revenue was reported in FY2022 alone, with zero SCI-reported invoicing in FY2023–FY2025. This reflects the vendor's business model—equipment rental and parts supply, which fall outside the SCI reporting threshold and are typically recorded as purchases or leases rather than service contracts. The vendor's equipment portfolio spans Caterpillar dozers, excavators, loaders, generators, mini excavators, skid steers, and water trucks, with service capabilities including repairs, maintenance, parts supply, and emergency response. Place of performance spans 17 Western states, with Yuma, Arizona; Provo, Utah; and locations across the Upper Colorado Basin representing primary operational concentrations. Wheeler Machinery has been in federal contracting since 1981 and was established in 1951 as a Caterpillar dealer.
