Connecticut Trailers, Inc.

Connecticut Trailers, Inc., doing business as Connecticut Trailers, manufactures and delivers specialized trailers to federal agencies as a small business prime contractor operating primarily under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. The Bolton, Connecticut-based firm is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation that competes across both total small business set-asides and full-and-open federal procurement, with a federal footprint spanning 121 distinct customer agencies across civilian, defense, and emergency-response missions.

Connecticut Trailers' capability portfolio centers on truck trailer manufacturing under NAICS 336212, with concrete delivery across utility trailers, enclosed cargo trailers, gooseneck flatbed trailers, dump trailers, equipment and fire support variants, and specialized models for snow removal, UTV transport, and emergency response. Representative recent prime awards include a $138,888 delivery order from the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service for foam operations support trailers (July 2023, GSA MAS), an $85,736 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard for enclosed trailers designated as a total small business set-aside (March 2024, GSA MAS), an $82,085.34 delivery order from Naval Sea Systems Command for two 8.5-by-24-foot enclosed trailers under total small business set-aside (February 2023, GSA MAS), and a $75,552.52 delivery order from the Air Force Ogden Air Logistics Complex for an air tow trailer (March 2022, GSA MAS). The vendor manufactures from multiple division locations including Hopkins, South Carolina and Sparks, Nevada in addition to its Bolton headquarters, enabling nationwide delivery.

Customer concentration shows moderate spread across civilian agencies with regional USDA branches and DHS as anchors. The top five customers by award count account for 22 percent of recent awards: GSA Federal Acquisition Service (22 awards, $559 thousand combined potential value), Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration (19 awards, $236 thousand), Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard (16 awards, $325 thousand), Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 5–Pacific Southwest (15 awards, $305 thousand), and Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service Western Region (15 awards, $313 thousand). The top customers by potential value track closely with award count, indicating relatively even contract sizing across the portfolio. Connecticut Trailers has served the Forest Service, National Park Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Fish and Wildlife Service consistently across its federal footprint.

Connecticut Trailers sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) as its dominant contracting vehicle, with 324 delivery task orders totaling $5.8 million in combined potential value. The vendor also holds a Blanket Purchase Agreement (DJD10HQA0028) with 16 task orders worth $179 thousand combined potential value. All 399 awards in the source span prime contracts; subcontract exposure is minimal—one sub award under Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC for naval nuclear laboratory support (September 2025).

Activity has been volatile. Award volume peaked in 2023 at 43 awards, declining to 26 in 2024 and dropping to only 5 awards through September 2026, a sharp contraction signaling either reduced federal demand or market-share pressure. The combined potential value across all 399 awards stands at $7.1 million, with $6.9 million obligated (97% execution rate). The recompete cliff window—awards completing in the next twenty-four months—carries only $49 thousand in combined potential value, indicating limited near-term contract completion exposure but also suggesting a thinned pipeline heading forward.

Connecticut Trailers competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its GSA MAS work, though a significant share of recent awards carry no set-aside designation, indicating full-and-open competition on higher-dollar procurements. The vendor's footprint centers on Truck Trailer Manufacturing (377 of 399 awards), with minor exposure to travel trailer and camper manufacturing and motor vehicle dealer variants. PSC code concentration runs to Trailers (318 awards), with subsidiary work in trucks and truck tractors (30 awards) and environmental remediation equipment (10 awards).
