Connecticut Trailers, Inc.

Connecticut Trailers, Inc., doing business as Connecticut Trailers, manufactures and delivers specialized trailers to federal agencies as a prime contractor, operating primarily under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS). The Bolton, Connecticut-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation is a small business without SBA set-aside certifications, though it competes frequently under total small business set-asides on individual task orders and purchase orders.

Connecticut Trailers' federal footprint centers on truck trailer manufacturing (NAICS 336212), with 375 of 397 total awards spanning that classification. The vendor delivers utility trailers, enclosed cargo trailers, gooseneck flatbed trailers, dump trailers, UTV and snowmobile trailers, and specialized equipment variants to support federal agency operations across civilian, defense, and emergency-response missions. Recent representative work includes a $138,888 delivery order from USDA APHIS Veterinary Services for foam operations support in response to highly pathogenic avian influenza (awarded July 2023), an $85,736 total small business set-aside purchase order from the Department of Homeland Security Coast Guard for enclosed trailers (March 2024), a $115,556.88 delivery order to USDA NRCS for 29 Big Tex single-axle open utility trailers (September 2021), and a $82,085.34 Naval Sea Systems Command delivery order for two enclosed trailers (February 2023). Ongoing work includes a $13,682.04 delivery to the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service for two utility trailers destined for the Marquette Bio Station (awarded March 2026, completing May 2026), a $30,237.31 USDA Forest Service helitack fire support trailer for Helena, Montana (March 2026), and a $16,242.45 Forest Service R2 Fire Replacement Trailer for Denver, Colorado (January 2026).

Customer concentration is low across a broad base. The top five customers by award count account for 22 percent of awards: GSA Federal Acquisition Service (22 awards, $559 thousand), Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration (19 awards, $236 thousand), Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (16 awards, $325 thousand), USDA NRCS Western Region (15 awards, $313 thousand), and USDA Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region (14 awards, $273 thousand). By potential value, the rankings track closely, with GSA FAS, Coast Guard, NRCS Western Region, Forest Service R5, and NRCS Central Region collectively representing about 24 percent of combined potential value. The vendor serves 120 distinct customer agencies across the federal government.

The GSA Multiple Award Schedule serves as the primary contracting vehicle, anchoring 322 task orders valued at $5.8 million in combined potential value. A Blanket Purchase Agreement (DJD10HQA0028) carries 16 task orders worth $179 thousand. Connecticut Trailers registered in SAM.gov in 2007 and has maintained continuous federal contracting activity since that date, with award volume peaking at 43 awards in 2023, declining to 26 in 2024, 8 in 2025, and 3 awards in the first quarter of 2026. The recompete cliff is minimal—only one award with a combined potential value of $30 thousand faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, suggesting low near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates as a pure prime contractor, with 396 of 397 awards executed as prime work; a single sub-award to Fluor Marine Propulsion LLC for naval nuclear propulsion program support (September 2025) is the only noted subcontract engagement. Place of performance is predominantly Bolton, Connecticut, with trailers delivered nationwide to customer locations across all U.S. regions, and order fulfillment from division locations including Hopkins, South Carolina and Sparks, Nevada.
