About the company
Fontaine Commercial Trailer, Inc. Fontaine Heavy Haul Division, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., manufactures heavy-duty military and defense trailers for the U.S. Army as a prime contractor under full-and-open competitive procurement with no socioeconomic set-aside designations. The vendor operates out of Springville, Alabama, with secondary manufacturing and support at Warren, Michigan, and competes on commercial terms in the truck trailer manufacturing and heavy tactical vehicle equipment space.
Fontaine's federal footprint centers on Army logistics and tactical vehicle programs, particularly the Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles. The vendor holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $37.97 million with the Army's Program Executive Office for Combat Support and Combat Service Support (PEO CSCSS) for production of the M172A2 25-Ton Semitrailer Low Bed trailer, with authorization to procure up to 1,274 units across a two-year base and four one-year option periods. Two delivery orders have been issued under this vehicle: a $6.25 million order awarded June 14, 2022, covering initial low-rate initial production (14 units), production verification testing, technical support and repair logistics, and advanced manufacturing technical data packages; and a $13.53 million order awarded June 12, 2025, for option years three and four with fixed-price economic price adjustment terms. Beyond this primary vehicle, Fontaine secured a $4.1 million definite firm fixed-price contract awarded January 29, 2026, to manufacture 11 model 635NL semi-trailers in support of the Government of Egypt under the Foreign Military Sales program, 100% FMS-funded with completion targeted for January 31, 2027.
Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of the Army Materiel Command's Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (which issued the $37.97 million IDC, representing 59% of combined potential value) and PEO CSCSS (which has placed two awards totaling $19.8 million). The vendor serves five distinct Army organizations and the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command across six total awards. Activity is episodic rather than sustained — one award in 2017, then two in 2022, and one each in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — with $17.6 million in combined potential value facing recompete within the next twenty-four months as two awards reach ultimate completion. Fontaine operates as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin Corporation on a MK 8 MOD 5 standard module shipping trailer sub-award dated August 22, 2024. The vendor's parent, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., carries a veteran-owned business designation and holds federal contract vehicle positions, though Fontaine Commercial Trailer itself does not hold independent government-wide vehicles.
