Wisconsin Ordnance Works LTD

Wisconsin Ordnance Works LTD, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, manufactures precision-engineered mechanical components and heavy sub-systems for tracked military vehicles, competing as a prime contractor (87% of awards) under SDVOSB and Total Small Business set-asides, with a $98.3 million combined potential value portfolio concentrated almost exclusively in Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime supply contracts.

The company is a Subchapter S Corporation and Veteran Owned Business (VOSB) holding Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Small Disadvantaged Business certifications. As a manufacturer of goods, Wisconsin Ordnance Works operates from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, with secondary performance locations in Plymouth, Michigan and Columbus, Ohio. The core business centers on sprocket wheels, pivot arm assemblies, hub bodies, mechanical housings, idler wheels, retaining plates, roller assemblies, and drive train components for Bradley Fighting Vehicles, M109A7 self-propelled howitzers, M270/M270A Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, and M1 Abrams tank platforms. Recent representative prime awards include a $15.7 million Total Small Business Indefinite Delivery Contract from DLA Land and Maritime awarded August 11, 2025, for Bradley Fighting Vehicle System parts and sub-systems with a five-year base period; a $13.1 million single-award IDC from DLA Land and Maritime awarded March 31, 2026, for tracked military vehicle components; a $264.2 thousand Total Small Business purchase order for 378 sprocket wheel segments issued October 22, 2025; and a $599.1 thousand purchase order for shock absorber housings awarded December 17, 2024.

DLA Land and Maritime dominates the customer base, accounting for 352 awards valued at $97.3 million (99% of combined potential value). The Department of the Army and subordinate commands (Acquisition Support Center PEO Ground Combat Systems, Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal) account for 153 awards valued at roughly $945 thousand. DLA Aviation holds three awards. Awards cluster in speed-change and industrial gear manufacturing (134 awards), mechanical power transmission equipment (131 awards), and military armored vehicle components (80 awards), with gears, pulleys, sprockets, and transmission chain components representing the largest PSC concentration (281 awards).

Wisconsin Ordnance Works holds a dense portfolio of single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Land and Maritime, each valued between $250,000 and $15.7 million with performance periods extending through 2030. Recent IDVs include the $15.7 million Total Small Business vehicle awarded August 2025; a $13.1 million single-award IDC for general tracked vehicle components awarded March 2026; a $1.8 million Total Small Business IDC for sprocket wheels awarded January 2024; and multiple $250,000 to $1.1 million single-award IDCs for specific National Stock Number components (arm assemblies, pivot shoulders, hub bodies, retaining plates, wheel hubs, roller assemblies, housing seals) awarded between April 2025 and October 2025. These vehicles are issued primarily under SDVOSB and Total Small Business set-asides, with firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders drawn continuously against them. The DLA Land and Maritime IDC structure reflects Wisconsin Ordnance Works' position as a single-source supplier for specific NSN components across the military vehicle supply chain.

Activity has grown sharply year over year, from 29 awards in 2022 to 118 in 2025, with 10 awards in the first months of 2026. Fourteen awards (combined potential value $1.4 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure concentrated in small-dollar delivery orders and task orders rather than IDV vehicles themselves.

Wisconsin Ordnance Works subcontracts to BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. and General Dynamics Land Systems Inc. on tracked vehicle production and upgrade programs, including Bradley A4 follow-on production, M109A7 family of vehicles, AMPV (Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle) production, and M1 Abrams upgrades to SEPv3 variant. The company also supplies sprocket drive wheels and idler wheel components to Lockheed Martin on M270/M270A MLRS production. Sub-award work began appearing in the source data in 2024 and reflects ongoing material and component supply to major defense OEMs producing tracked vehicle platforms. The SDVOSB posture recurs across the entire prime footprint; nearly all IDCs and two-thirds of purchase orders carry SDVOSB or Total Small Business set-aside designations, positioning the vendor to compete in reserved competitions while maintaining full-and-open capability on commodity component orders.
