Houston Freightliner, Inc.

Houston Freightliner, Inc., doing business as Houston Freightliner, Sterling & Western Star, supplies medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles to civilian federal agencies as a prime contractor under the GSA Automotive Medium and Heavy-Weight Commercial Program (Autochoice), a $138.4 million indefinite delivery vehicle contract running through January 22, 2028. The vendor competes on a full-and-open basis without set-aside designations and receives delivery orders from the General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service for diverse truck configurations including 6x4 and 4x2 dump trucks, vocational and highway day cab tractors, cab and chassis vehicles, stake and flatbed trucks, dry vans, refrigerated vans, street flushers, specialized equipment carriers, and low-profile deck carriers with underlift stabilizers. Place of performance is Jacinto City, Texas.

Houston Freightliner is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation and commercial vehicle dealership headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company has been a registered federal contractor since July 2009. Primary NAICS coding reflects heavy-duty truck manufacturing (837 awards); PSC coding aligns with trucks and truck tractors, wheeled (837 awards). The vendor holds no SBA certifications and competes predominantly in the open federal market without small business set-asides.

Customer concentration is extreme: the GSA Federal Acquisition Service accounts for 99 percent of awards (837 of 844 total) and 100 percent of combined potential value ($294.3 million). Two other agencies appear in the portfolio with minimal exposure: the Department of Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region (one grant-related sub-award, $3 thousand) and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons (one grant-related sub-award, no dollar value stated). All prime federal contract work flows through the GSA vehicle.

Houston Freightliner's vehicle portfolio on Autochoice encompasses multiple weight classes and configurations. Representative delivery orders awarded since June 2026 include a 6x4 vocational tractor (100,000-140,000 pound gross combined weight rating) for $413,103 (September 4, 2026), multiple 6x4 dump trucks (12-16 cubic yard capacity, 62,000-66,000 pounds) ranging from $207,531 to $297,558 (August 2026), 6x4 highway day cab tractors (90,000-100,000 pounds) at $172,586 to $173,808 (June 2026), 4x2 cab and chassis vehicles (33,000 pounds) at $108,389 each across multiple July 2026 awards, and specialized equipment carriers including 15-ton, 24-30 foot low-profile deck carriers ($267,564) and 20-ton, 26-30 foot low-profile carriers ($253,146 to $301,377). Individual delivery order values range from approximately $94,500 to $485,000. All orders are firm fixed-price with ultimate completion dates extending through September 2027.

The Autochoice IDIQ (contract number 47QMCA23D000H, awarded January 23, 2023) anchors 836 of the 844 total awards with $155.9 million in combined potential value. A second IDV vehicle (contract 4600001176) carries two task orders valued at $101 thousand. Activity has accelerated substantially: after sporadic awards through 2022, Houston Freightliner received 186 awards in 2023, 258 in 2024, 159 in 2025, and 236 through September 2026. The most recent 12-month window (September 2025 through September 2026) shows sustained ordering momentum with monthly delivery order issuances.

Recompete exposure inside the next twenty-four months totals 258 awards with combined potential value of $44.8 million — roughly 15 percent of the total portfolio by count but 15 percent by dollars as well, reflecting consistent delivery order sizing across the period. The Autochoice IDIQ itself extends through January 22, 2028, providing contract continuity.

Houston Freightliner operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no identified subcontractors across the portfolio. The vendor holds a single dominant parent vehicle (Autochoice) and does not sub to other primes. No federal grant work appears, apart from two grant-related sub-awards (likely administrative pass-through allocations) totaling approximately $3 thousand combined value. The subcontract footprint is negligible.
