AMS Express LLC

AMS Express LLC, doing business as AMS Couriers, operates as a small-business prime contractor providing medical courier and logistics services to federal health and defense agencies across Alaska. The vendor competes entirely under total small business set-asides on a substantial majority of its awards, with all fifteen recent prime contracts and IDIQs issued under small-business designations or without set-aside restriction.

AMS Express LLC is a sole proprietorship and limited liability company based in Anchorage, Alaska, specializing in temperature-controlled medical courier services under NAICS 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services). The vendor's concrete capability footprint centers on daily and emergency transportation of clinical laboratory specimens, medical supplies, equipment, and records between federal healthcare facilities, military bases, and local hospitals. Work includes compliance with HIPAA privacy standards, DBIDS base credentialing, and temperature-control specifications for materials requiring climate-sensitive handling. Representative work includes a $246,888 total small business set-aside purchase order awarded by the Defense Health Agency on December 27, 2024, covering daily collection and transport of clinical samples and medications between Bassett Army Community Hospital and Eielson Air Force Base Clinic through December 31, 2029; a $361,347 total small business set-aside purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 (VISN 20) awarded March 1, 2024, for daily courier services between the Soldotna Community Based Outpatient Clinic and the Alaska VA Health Care System through February 28, 2029; and a $370,125 total small business set-aside purchase order from the Defense Health Agency awarded January 15, 2024, for medical courier services at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage through January 14, 2029.

Customer concentration is highly skewed toward the Department of Veterans Affairs VISN 20, which accounts for eight awards and $1.4 million combined potential value (100% coverage across both award-count and potential-value rankings). The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces follows with five awards and $706 thousand, and the Defense Health Agency with two awards and $617 thousand. All three rankings track identically, indicating that volume and dollar concentration align around the same three customers. AMS Express LLC holds three single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with the VA and Air Force: a $462,770 VA IDIQ (awarded September 1, 2023, extending to August 31, 2028) under which four delivery orders have been issued; a $180,485 VA IDIQ (awarded September 1, 2022, extending to August 31, 2027); and an Air Force IDIQ valued at $512,950. Within the next twenty-four months, only one award ($103,285) reaches ultimate completion, presenting minimal recompete exposure given the multi-year renewal terms embedded in the active purchase orders and IDIQs. Activity levels have remained flat to modest — three awards in 2022 and 2023, four in 2024, then one each in 2025 and 2026 — with combined potential value across all awards standing at $2.7 million and obligated dollars at approximately $1 million (37% of potential). The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontractor footprint and performs all work in Alaska, concentrating geographically on Anchorage, Fairbanks, and ancillary VA outpatient clinics.
