About the company
Freightwaves Inc., a for-profit software and freight-analytics vendor based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, delivers truck freight economics data, web-based global freight market analysis systems, and freight market intelligence to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Transportation as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides, competing on full-and-open and 100% small-business reserved solicitations.
Freightwaves operates exclusively as a prime contractor — all four recent awards carry prime status with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes under small-business set-asides; three of four awards were designated total small-business set-asides, and the most recent Department of Transportation award used no set-aside but remains a full-and-open prime. Across NAICS coding, the vendor spans Software Publishers (2 awards), Other Computer Related Services (1 award), and Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services (1 award), with PSC concentration in IT and Telecom Business Application Software (3 awards) and Special Studies/Analysis–Data (1 award).
Customer concentration is narrow and FEMA-anchored. Federal Emergency Management Agency accounts for 3 of 4 awards and $958 thousand of the $1.1 million combined potential value (87% by dollars); the Department of Transportation Immediate Office of the Secretary holds the fourth award at $150 thousand. Recent representative work includes a $338,091 one-year base firm fixed price contract from FEMA's Logistics Management Directorate (awarded April 30, 2025, with three one-year options) for a cloud-based global freight analysis system providing real-time freight market intelligence across transportation modes to support emergency response logistics; a $318,954 total small-business set-aside firm fixed price contract from FEMA for a Global Freight Market Analysis System awarded May 15, 2024, via reverse auction on the Unison Marketplace; and a $150 thousand firm fixed price purchase order from the Department of Transportation (awarded May 8, 2026) to provide truck freight economics data and analytics to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics with completion scheduled for May 7, 2027.
The vendor has maintained one award per year across 2023–2026, with the combined obligated value reaching $1.1 million (100% of potential value). One award — the May 2026 Department of Transportation purchase order — reaches completion within the next twenty-four months at $150 thousand potential value, exposing Freightwaves to recompete in that window.
