The next largest customers are the Department of the Army at 196.89 million, followed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Federal Acquisition Service, and the U.S. Coast Guard, each at materially smaller volumes. This mix shows strong defense-oriented demand with limited but recurring civilian agency participation.
Industry profile based on NAICS activity
The largest NAICS category is 333120 Construction Machinery Manufacturing at 1.15 billion, which is the principal driver of obligated value and aligns closely with Caterpillar’s core product set. Secondary activity appears in 333618 Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing at 87.09 million, with smaller amounts in 336310, 335312, and 811310. The NAICS pattern suggests a concentrated industrial supply base centered on machinery and engine-related manufacturing, with some maintenance and component activity.

Annual obligations were highest in 2024 at 393.61 million and remained elevated in 2025 at 375.98 million, after a lower base in 2021 through 2023. Award counts are generally in the 390 to 629 range except for 2021, which shows 39,063 awards and materially affects the multi-year profile. Overall, the trend indicates stable high-dollar activity in the most recent two years after a smaller obligation level in the earlier period.
