About the company
Express Business Systems, Inc., doing business as Express, manufactures custom metal barcode labels, identification markers, and anodized aluminum data plates for federal logistics, asset tracking, and Item Unique Identification (IUID) applications as a prime contractor operating under no set-aside designation. The San Diego, California-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation works exclusively in the prime role (61 awards, 100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint, competing on full-and-open procurement vehicles and purchase orders rather than through set-aside or GWAC channels.
Express's customer concentration is broad across defense and civilian logistics agencies, with no single customer dominating either volume or dollars. The top five agencies by award count cover 33% of all awards: Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (7 awards, $3 thousand combined potential value), Department of the Army (4 awards, $56 thousand), NASA Shared Services Center (3 awards, $131 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (3 awards, $55 thousand), and Army Materiel Command TACOM (3 awards, $17 thousand). The top-value ranking shifts slightly — NASA Shared Services Center leads at $131 thousand across three awards, followed by Army Installation Management Command Pacific Region at $69 thousand — a signal that individual order sizes vary across agency partners. Express holds a position on the Federal Supply Schedule GS25F0004S with 20 task orders generating $282 thousand in combined potential value, the vendor's primary vehicle footprint.
Recent work includes a $53.9 thousand Naval Sea Systems Command order (September 2025) for 13,900 blank anodized aluminum data plates in multiple configurations designated as Total Small Business, a $1.4 thousand Defense Department construction and equipment purchase order for identification markers (March 2026), and recurring manufacturing orders from the Defense Logistics Agency and NASA. Activity is sporadic — nine awards in 2016, declining to one in 2026 — with the vendor having generated $858 thousand in combined potential value across sixty-one awards since 2003. The primary NAICS concentration is All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing (21 awards), with secondary work in fabricated metal products, printing, and electronic assemblies. Express manufactures RFID tags, metal barcode labels, and aluminum identification components in its San Diego facility for federal supply-chain and inventory-management applications.
