Garrett Container Systems, Inc.

Garrett Container Systems, Inc., a veteran-owned, HUBZone-certified small business manufacturer based in Accident, Maryland, designs and manufactures specialized shipping containers, storage solutions, and related military logistics equipment for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) with limited subcontract work. The company operates under Subchapter S corporation structure and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, though its HUBZone certification anchors significant set-aside vehicles.

Garrett's federal footprint centers on military container manufacturing across multiple product lines. The company manufactures collapsible and rigid Joint Modular Intermodal Containers (JMIC), metal weapons shipping containers (MK series variants), elastomeric mounts, pallets, cages, and specialized equipment containers for military working dogs. Recent representative work includes a $239,010 definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command for shipping and storage (April 2026), a $161,952.42 purchase order for shipping and storage services (February 2024), and a $419,500 delivery order from Army Aviation and Missile Command for shipping and storage solutions (August 2023). The company also holds a $5.3 million Total Small Business set-aside definitive contract with Defense Logistics Agency for collapsible JMIC 3 production (November 2022).

Customer concentration is highly fragmented across defense logistics and operational commands. The top five customers by award count—Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (446 awards, $21.1 million), Department of the Air Force (325 awards, $15.5 million), Air National Guard (224 awards, $11.9 million), Air Combat Command (220 awards, $33.7 million), and Air Education and Training Command (131 awards, $16.4 million)—account for 51% of awards. By potential value, the ranking shifts notably: Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces leads at $151 million across 20 awards, followed by Naval Sea Systems Command ($128.3 million, 114 awards), Marine Corps ($52.3 million, 49 awards), Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service ($37 million, 126 awards), and Air Combat Command ($33.7 million, 220 awards). This split signals that Pacific Air Forces anchors enormous per-award value, while DLA and Air National Guard drive volume with smaller orders.

Garrett holds three significant indefinite delivery vehicles totaling $79.2 million. A $49.5 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with Naval Sea Systems Command for undetermined weapon container production runs through April 2026 under Total Small Business set-aside. A $22.5 million single-award HUBZone indefinite delivery contract with Naval Sea Systems Command for metal weapons shipping containers and intermodal storage solutions extends through May 2027 and has generated multiple high-value delivery orders (MK 763, MK 776, JMIC variants at $99,274 to $374,775 each). A $7.2 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Marine Corps under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for JMIC delivery runs through August 2026. Beyond these anchors, the Multiple Award Schedule carries 599 task orders ($85.9 million), Federal Supply Schedule GS14F8858B holds 360 task orders ($14.9 million), and three Air Force indefinite delivery contracts (FA805414D0004, FA304709D0004, FA805414D0002) collectively carry 655 task orders ($51.1 million). Garrett's position on these vehicles reflects established logistics-vendor relationships across Defense.

Activity has remained steady but modest in recent years—58 awards in 2022, 43 in 2023, 57 in 2024, 50 in 2025, and 5 in early 2026—though the cumulative portfolio spans 2,638 awards since 1992 with $847.4 million in combined potential value and $325.3 million obligated (38% realization rate). Only six awards worth $398,000 combined face completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating low near-term recompete pressure. The company's NAICS footprint is highly diversified: Other Apparel Accessories Manufacturing (568 awards), Other Metal Container Manufacturing (434 awards), and Industrial Truck/Trailer Machinery Manufacturing (363 awards) dominate, with PSC concentration in Specialized Shipping and Storage Containers (684 awards), Individual Equipment (516 awards), and Safety and Rescue Equipment (332 awards).

In its limited subcontractor role, Garrett supplies metal weapons shipping containers to Raytheon Company across multiple missile and guided-weapon programs (SM-3 Block IIA, AIM-9X, Small Diameter Bomb, RAM, and encaniristered missile) and provides similar containers to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for Stand-In Attack Weapon Phase 2 work and to General Dynamics Mission Systems for MEDUSA system design. These subs place Garrett in the defense industrial base's munitions and missile supply chain.
