Iron Horse Logistics

Iron Horse Logistics, a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Durango, Colorado, supplies specialized vehicles and watercraft to the federal government as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under small-business set-asides across its recent award portfolio. The company, structured as a limited liability corporation, competes on total small business set-asides and holds a $49.999 billion multiple-award IDIQ with Air Force Materiel Command for target watercraft and related assets, alongside a $7.5 million blanket purchase agreement for target vehicles with the same command running through March 2028.

Iron Horse Logistics' customer concentration is dominated by the Air Force. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command accounts for 10 awards representing $62.3 million in combined potential value — 92% of the vendor's total portfolio — with an additional four awards to the Department of the Air Force proper carrying $4.7 million. The next-tier customers (Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command, Department of Agriculture Forest Service R2-Rocky Mountain Region, and Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Wildlife Services) together represent only $353 thousand across 13 awards. The top five customers by award count and potential value track closely, with Air Force Materiel Command dominating both metrics. Iron Horse Logistics has worked with 22 distinct federal agencies across its 47 prime awards, but the concentration remains acute and Air Force-dependent.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on vehicle and watercraft procurement and delivery. Recent representative awards include a $54.650 thousand purchase order from the Air Force in August 2025 for target vehicle delivery to White Sands Missile Range, an $88.5 thousand BPA call from Air Force Materiel Command in March 2023 for 15 Ford target vehicles, and a $57.6 thousand purchase order from Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station in September 2022 for two small camp trailers. The newly awarded $49.999 billion IDIQ with Air Force Materiel Command procures small, medium, and large commercial watercraft in various conditions (new, used, or salvage) ranging from 1 foot to 500 feet in length, designated as target assets for Air Force testing and training. Category concentration reflects this scope: automobile manufacturing (17 awards), travel trailer and camper manufacturing (9 awards), and motorcycle and bicycle manufacturing (6 awards) top the NAICS distribution, with passenger motor vehicles (19 awards), trailers (13 awards), and miscycles and motor scooters (7 awards) dominating PSC codes. The vendor does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts and operates exclusively as a prime — no subcontract work appears in the portfolio.

Activity has contracted significantly year over year: 11 awards in 2021, declining to 6 in 2022, 2 in 2023, then 1 in 2025 and 2 in 2026. Combined potential value reaches $68 million, though only $1.4 million (2% of potential value) has been obligated across all awards, indicating that most vehicles remain to be delivered against extended performance periods. The $49.999 billion IDIQ awarded June 15, 2026, substantially expands the ceiling available to the vendor, though ordering authority extends through June 2031 and actual task order issuance will depend on Air Force requirements.
