About the company
Carlile Transportation Systems, LLC (doing business as K&W Transportation) operates as a prime contractor providing multimodal transportation, shipping, and logistics services to federal agencies, with 99% of recent awards issued as prime contracts and one sub-award. The Anchorage, Alaska–based for-profit corporation competes in the full-and-open market without set-aside designations; it carries two named subsidiaries, Carlile Logistics, LLC and Carlile Transportation Systems, Inc., and operates under the parent company Saltchuk Resources, Inc.
Carlile's award portfolio reflects a dual capability split across infrastructure leasing and dedicated transportation services. The vendor's primary NAICS classification is Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (73 of 116 awards), with secondary NAICS work in truck and utility trailer rental and leasing, long-distance trucking, and deep sea freight transportation. The top two parent vehicles are GSA Basic Ordering Agreements GS10B06793 (59 task orders, $9.6 million combined potential value) and GS10B06542 (36 task orders, $159 thousand combined potential value), indicating substantial GSA Schedule-based leasing work. Most representative of Carlile's transportation capability is a $718.1 million FEMA indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract awarded July 28, 2022, to provide multimodal transportation and shipping services from Continental U.S. ports to Alaska locations, with a base period of one year and four one-year option periods running through June 23, 2027. Carlile issued a $2,000 firm fixed price delivery order under that IDIQ in November 2022 for guaranteed minimum transportation support services for Alaska disaster response. The vendor also places work against GSA leasing vehicles for office building and equipment rental.
Customer concentration is extreme: FEMA accounts for 99% of combined potential value ($718.1 million across two awards) despite representing only 17% of award count. The GSA Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing represents 27% of the 116 awards by count but only $6.4 million in potential value, a stark divergence that reflects the structure of leasing task orders (many small, recurring calls) versus the single large FEMA transportation IDIQ. The Army, Army Pacific Command, and Army Alaska National Guard account for the remaining named customer relationships but carry negligible combined potential value. Activity has been episodic: Carlile received two awards in 2022 (anchored by the FEMA IDIQ award), one award in 2025, and minimal activity in intervening years. As of August 2025, the vendor carried one recorded sub-award against Torch Technologies Inc. under GSA OASIS SB R Pool 5B for software and systems engineering support to the Aviation and Missile Center.
