Connecticut Container Corp.

Connecticut Container Corp., a for-profit manufacturer of corrugated and polyethylene shipping containers and packaging materials headquartered in North Haven, Connecticut, serves the federal government as a prime contractor competing on an open, full-and-open basis with no small business set-asides across a portfolio spanning over 72,000 awards since 1997.

Connecticut Container Corp.'s federal footprint is heavily concentrated in GSA's Multiple Award Schedule procurement, where the vendor holds a Federal Supply Schedule contract (IDV 47QSMS24D0080) awarded June 3, 2024, with a $500,000 ceiling and performance period through June 2, 2029. The portfolio encompasses corrugated boxes in single-wall and triple-wall configurations, polyethylene nesting shipping boxes measuring 40 inches by 48 inches with slide locking devices, reusable steel pallet bases with four-way forklift entry, and box sleeves for document storage. Recent representative awards include a $12,851.20 BPA call from GSA FAS for pallet bases (July 10, 2026), a $10,040.00 call for pallet bases (July 2, 2026), and a $9,250.00 call for corrugated shipping boxes (July 9, 2026), all completing in mid-July 2026 and priced on a fixed-price basis with economic price adjustment.

GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates customer concentration, accounting for 48,852 awards (67% of total awards in the source) with $349.7 million in combined potential value—a decisive 73% of the vendor's total federal dollars. The remaining customer base is spread across military branches and Defense Logistics Agency, with the Department of the Army (across TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, Central Command, and general Army procurement) placing 9,413 cumulative awards worth $43.7 million, and the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution placing 635 awards worth $25.9 million. This concentration reflects Connecticut Container Corp.'s role as a primary packaging supplier to civilian federal agencies through GSA's procurement channels.

Vehicle positioning centers entirely on GSA's Multiple Award Schedule ecosystem. The vendor participates in the GSA Shipping, Packaging and Packing Supplies BPA vehicle, which generated 65,169 task orders with $357.2 million in combined potential value, and maintains positions on several subordinate BPAs including Indefinite Delivery Contract 47QSEA21D0006 (26,183 task orders, $50.4 million) and blanket purchase agreements GS02FCONYZ (4,312 task orders, $9.4 million) and GS02F152SQ (261 task orders, $269 thousand). The vendor does not hold prime positions on defense-specific contract vehicles or agency-wide IDIQs outside the GSA portfolio.

Activity shows a declining trajectory from 5,961 awards in 2022 to 1,987 awards in 2026 year-to-date, reflecting either declining task order issuance against the existing schedule or the source's capture window. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months is minimal—only 106 awards valued at $157 thousand face ultimate completion before mid-2028, suggesting most of the vendor's active workload remains under the 2029 MAS contract ceiling. Work is performed exclusively at the North Haven, Connecticut facility.

Connecticut Container Corp. competes solely under full-and-open competition with no set-aside participation (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB). The vendor's capability portfolio is tightly focused on corrugated container manufacturing and related packaging solutions targeting federal logistics and supply requirements; the source carries no subcontract relationships or teaming arrangements, indicating Connecticut Container Corp. operates as an independent manufacturer rather than as a prime coordinating multiple tiers of sub-suppliers.
