About the company
Five Star Express LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Spokane, Washington, operates as a prime contractor on specialized freight and equipment-repair services for federal agencies under total small business set-asides. The firm competes exclusively under small-business designations and holds no subcontractor positions in the source award portfolio.
Five Star Express's capability footprint centers on temperature-controlled refrigerated freight transportation and vehicular equipment repair. On the transportation side, the company specializes in delivering temperature-sensitive agricultural materials — seedlings and perishable plant stock — to remote federal, tribal, and state lands across the Pacific Northwest. A representative example is the five-year blanket purchase agreement with the U.S. Forest Service Region 1 – Northern Region (awarded July 2024, valued up to $250,000) for dedicated refrigerated freight to the Coeur d'Alene Nursery in the Idaho Panhandle, requiring maintenance of cargo temperatures between 32–36 degrees Fahrenheit and an estimated 8,000–15,000 loaded miles of service annually. Five Star has drawn four task orders against that BPA totaling $193,000 in potential value. On the equipment-repair side, the company executes small-dollar purchase orders for automotive and utility-vehicle repair work — a $20,868 Air Mobility Command contract for UTV repair at Fairchild Air Force Base (February 2025), a $13,880 repair order for a Polaris Razor transport vehicle (September 2024), and a $6,500 services contract for Air Mobility Command work at the same base (July 2023).
Customer concentration is acute and geographic. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1 dominates the portfolio at five awards worth $443,000 in combined potential value (89% of the total), all related to the Coeur d'Alene Nursery BPA and its component calls. The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command holds three awards worth $41,000 (8%), and the Department of the Army Washington National Guard holds two awards worth $12,000 (2%). Both the by-award-count and by-potential-value rankings are identical, reflecting no tension between order frequency and contract magnitude. Activity has remained modest and episodic: two awards in 2022, one in 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. The single award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months is the March 2026 Forest Service BPA call valued at $140,000, representing a recompete opportunity when that order cycles. Combined potential value across all ten prime awards stands at $496,000, with $246,000 obligated to date.
Five Star Express operates within a narrow, regional vertical — dedicated refrigerated logistics for federal plant-material distribution and light equipment maintenance — and has not yet pursued or won positions on government-wide vehicles, agency IDIQs, or GSA Schedules. The vendor's footprint remains concentrated on the Pacific Northwest and Fairchild Air Force Base, with no evidence of national or multi-region expansion in the source data.
