American Truck & Bus, Inc.

American Truck & Bus, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Cape St. Claire, Maryland, manufactures and converts commercial vehicles for the federal government as a prime contractor, drawing nearly all work from the GSA Federal Acquisition Service under multiple vehicle procurement IDIQs totaling over $272 million in combined contracting authority.

The company's federal footprint is highly concentrated in GSA's Vehicle Buying (MMAC) framework. American Truck & Bus holds four active indefinite delivery contracts: the 2023 Light Duty Vocational Trucks IDIQ ($102.2 million, total small business set-aside, through December 2027), the 2022 Light Vehicles AutoChoice program ($50 million, no set-aside, through November 2026), the 2025 Main Bus Program ($70 million, no set-aside, through November 2029), and the 2022 Transit Bus Program ($49.9 million, no set-aside, through December 2026). The vendor's capability portfolio spans light-duty vans and trucks, panel vans with maintenance conversion configurations, cutaway dry cargo vans, transit buses with alternative fuel options including hydrogen fuel cell battery electric, and specialized vehicle upfitting and conversion services. Recent representative delivery orders include a $120,662 order for 30 Type A school buses (September 2026, no set-aside), a $244,110 order for 4x2 panel vans with maintenance conversion under the Light Duty Vocational Trucks IDIQ (February 2024, no set-aside), a $486,234 order for 4x2 cutaway dry cargo vans (July 2023, no set-aside), and a $77,938 order for one 40-foot hydrogen fuel cell transit bus with 34-passenger capacity (October 2022, no set-aside). Work is performed exclusively at the company's Cape St. Claire facility.

Customer concentration is extreme. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service accounts for 408 of 481 awards (91% coverage) and $1.11 billion of combined potential value (100% of the total portfolio). The remaining nine customer agencies—led by the Department of Justice FBI ($996 thousand), the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command ($1.1 million), the Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs ($338 thousand), and the Department of the Air Force Reserve Command ($431 thousand)—collectively represent fewer than 3% of awards and have minimal dollar impact. Among GSA vehicle IDIQs, the 2023 Light Duty Vocational Trucks contract (47QMCA23D0009) anchors 93 task orders with $9.5 million in combined potential value; the 2020 Light Duty Vocational Trucks program ranks second with 40 task orders and $2.4 million. Delivery order sizes range from under $50,000 to over $486,000, with recent 2026 task orders under the Light Duty Vocational Trucks set-aside ranging from $50,820 to $87,737. American Truck & Bus operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontractor involvement across its federal footprint.

Activity has grown significantly, from two awards in 2022 to 45 awards in 2026 (the most recent partial year). Forty-five awards in 2026 suggest sustained order velocity; however, only 28 awards (combined potential value $2 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating moderate recompete exposure relative to the overall contract ceiling. The vendor's work is split between set-aside and full-and-open competition. The Light Duty Vocational Trucks IDIQ carries a total small business set-aside, and recent 2026 delivery orders against it uniformly apply total small business set-aside designations. In contrast, delivery orders under the AutoChoice, Main Bus Program, and Transit Bus Program IDIQs carry no set-aside designation and compete full-and-open. The company's primary NAICS coding reflects Automobile Manufacturing (239 awards), Automobile and Light Duty Motor Vehicle Manufacturing (114 awards), and Light Truck and Utility Vehicle Manufacturing (85 awards); PSC 1550 (Passenger Motor Vehicles) dominates at 392 awards.

American Truck & Bus has maintained continuous SAM registration since September 2004 and serves as an established GSA vendor for civilian fleet modernization and federal agency transportation requirements across the government.
