Metropolitan Van And Storage Inc.

Metropolitan Van And Storage Inc., doing business as Metropolitan Van & Storage Inc., provides non-temporary storage of retrograde household goods, local household goods moving services including packing and crating, and consolidated transportation support to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The Benicia, California-based for-profit company competes predominantly within small business set-aside vehicles and holds over fifty years of federal contracting experience in military personnel relocation and logistics.

Metropolitan Van And Storage operates almost exclusively under two single-award indefinite-delivery contracts (IDCs) anchoring its customer concentration and revenue base. The United States Transportation Command awarded a $41.93 million total small business set-aside IDC (HTC71121DR038) running through March 31, 2027 for non-temporary storage of retrograde household goods, containerized household goods, and unaccompanied baggage; this vehicle alone supports 47 delivery orders valued at $35.7 million combined. The U.S. Air Force awarded a $2.1 million total small business set-aside IDC (FA442724D0003) effective through March 31, 2027 for local household goods moving, packing, and crating services at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, California, with 3 delivery orders issued to date. A third legacy vehicle — HTC71115DR031 — appears to have generated 80 task orders valued at $23.2 million across the vendor's history, likely a prior TRANSCOM container. Work is performed at the company's Benicia facility and at Travis Air Force Base, with place of performance recurring across all awards in Northern California.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Office of the Secretary of Defense accounts for 126 awards (71% of all awards) valued at $59 million, issued as monthly delivery orders under the TRANSCOM IDC primarily in the $100 thousand to $1.8 million range per order. TRANSCOM itself, listed separately in the top-customers table, shows two awards (the two IDC vehicles) valued at $77.5 million combined potential value — a structural artifact of how the source allocates the parent IDC ceiling. The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command accounts for 7 awards valued at $6.1 million, the Army Materiel Command Surface Deployment and Distribution Command for 8 awards valued at $5.4 million, the Navy for 7 awards, and the Coast Guard for 2 awards valued at $2.5 million. The top five customers by award count cover 85% of all awards; the top five by dollar value cover 94% of combined potential value.

Capability focus is narrow and specialized. The vendor's award portfolio breaks down as 137 awards under NAICS 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage), 24 awards under NAICS 484210 (Used Household and Office Goods Moving), and three smaller categories. PSC coding aligns: 90 awards fall under Transportation/Travel/Relocation—Other, 47 under Housekeeping—Warehousing/Storage, and 24 under Packing/Crating. The vendor operates as prime contractor only (100% of awards); no subcontract footprint is present. All delivery orders are firm fixed-price with no identified subcontractors across the entire portfolio.

Activity has remained steady. The vendor received 12 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 14 in 2024, and 13 in 2025, with 3 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026 (data snapshot is July 2026). Combined potential value across all 178 awards totals $159.8 million; combined dollars obligated stand at $62 million, representing 39% of potential value. A recompete cliff emerges: one award valued at $669,457 completes by March 31, 2027, which represents the Air Force IDC delivery order awarded April 1, 2026. The TRANSCOM IDC itself, valued at $41.93 million and constituting the core of the vendor's revenue, runs through March 31, 2027 — expiration of both major vehicles within thirteen months creates a significant renewal risk and opportunity window.

Metropolitan Van And Storage has served thirteen distinct federal agencies but operates almost entirely within the Defense Department's household goods and personnel relocation logistics ecosystem. The vendor's moat rests on geographic positioning (Benicia and Travis AFB), operational infrastructure for storage and moving, and incumbency on two sole-source small business set-aside IDCs that drive the majority of annual revenue through predictable monthly ordering patterns.
