- Cummins Power Generation received a $500 million Army contract to supply 500-kilowatt mobile electric power generator sets and power plants.
- The firm-fixed-price contract allows work locations and funding to be determined with each delivery order through December 2025.
Cummins Power Generation Inc. has secured a $500 million contract from the United States Army to supply mobile electric power generator systems, according to a newly released contract award notice.
According to the announcement, Cummins Power Generation, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was awarded a firm-fixed-price contract valued at up to $500,000,000 for the production and delivery of 500-kilowatt skid mobile electric power generator sets and power plants. The award also includes provisions for minor modifications to the systems as required by the Army.
The contract is structured as an indefinite-delivery arrangement, with specific work locations and funding to be determined on a per-order basis. The Army estimates the overall completion date for the contract as Dec. 12, 2025.
Army Contracting Command, located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, is the contracting activity overseeing the award.
The generator systems covered by the contract are designed to provide mobile and reliable electric power for military operations. Mobile generator sets are a core component of deployed force infrastructure, supporting command posts, communications networks, radar systems, medical facilities, maintenance operations, and other mission-critical equipment in both domestic and overseas environments.
Cummins Power Generation specializes in power solutions for military, industrial, and emergency-response applications. The company produces diesel and alternative-fuel generators, control systems, and integrated power solutions designed for use in harsh and austere conditions.
The 500-kilowatt class of generator is typically used to support larger field installations or aggregated power requirements, including forward operating bases and temporary installations supporting joint and coalition forces. Skid-mounted configurations allow the systems to be transported by truck, rail, or air and rapidly deployed once on site.
Cummins has supplied generator systems to the U.S. military for decades and maintains a production and support network that supports both new equipment and lifecycle maintenance. Company says its generator platforms are designed with maintainability and fuel efficiency in mind, factors that are critical in expeditionary environments where logistics chains can be strained.
