Midway Trailers, Inc.

Midway Trailers, Inc., operating through its Total Trailers Division and doing business as Midway Trailers Inc., manufactures and sells specialized trailers—gooseneck, enclosed cargo, dump, mobile command post, fiber optic splicing, and emergency response models—to federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and through direct delivery orders. The company is a small business Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Benton, Missouri (with operations also in Nappanee, Indiana), and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on GSA MAS vehicles; set-aside posture varies by customer and contract type, with roughly half of recent awards carrying small business designations and half issued on full-and-open basis.

Midway's customer concentration is diffuse across 87 distinct federal agencies, with no single agency dominating the portfolio. The top five customers by potential value account for 69% of combined potential value but are split across different ordering patterns: GSA Federal Acquisition Service leads by dollar magnitude ($15.7 million across 7 awards, mostly administrative MAS calls) but places fewer orders than the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command (9 awards, $858 thousand) and the Department of Energy's Western Area Power Administration (7 awards, $251 thousand). The Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division holds a $2 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for command post trailers, awarded in September 2021 and running through September 2026, which anchors roughly 8% of the combined potential value and reflects Midway's established position as a law-enforcement specialist. Notable recent work includes a $195.7 thousand mobile command trailer for Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (February 2024), a $283 thousand order for 28-foot mobile trailers from Defense Logistics Agency Distribution (January 2023), a $344 thousand purchase order for two bunkhouse mobile command units from Veterans Affairs (August 2022), and a $179.5 thousand fiber optic splicing trailer for Air Education and Training Command (August 2023).

Midway places 129 task orders under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, the dominant vehicle in the portfolio, generating $9.7 million in combined potential value. This vehicle represents the company's primary federal contracting channel and explains the broad customer dispersion—agencies order trailers directly against the MAS rather than through a single parent contract. Subordinate vehicles include an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W91CRB17D0009) and a 6th Generation Fire and Emergency Services Equipment Tailored Logistics Support vehicle with minimal task order activity. The FBI BPA noted above sits outside the MAS structure as a standalone single-award vehicle.

Activity has been cyclical: 17 awards in 2022, 33 in 2023, 30 in 2024, declining to 12 in 2025 and 8 in 2026 (through July). Five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $290 thousand, representing modest near-term recompete exposure. Midway's award portfolio spans from $8,249 (a 5.4 x 14 Cherokee aluminum ATV trailer for DOI Fish and Wildlife Service in April 2025) to $344 thousand (the VA bunkhouse order), with a median award value in the $30,000–$70,000 range typical of custom trailer manufacturing.

In its subcontractor capacity, Midway delivers Stallion rack-ready equipment units to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. and participates in modifications to task orders under KBR Wyle Services, LLC and Astrion Group, LLC, supplying trailers (including a 24-foot bumper pull model) as components within larger defense system integrator contracts. This subcontract footprint is minimal (4 sub awards, 2% of the total) and reflects Midway's primary posture as a prime supplier rather than a tier-one or tier-two sub.

Capability concentration is extreme: 169 of 188 awards fall under NAICS 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing), with the remainder scattered across travel trailer manufacturing, industrial vehicle machinery, and general wholesaling. The PSC breakdown reinforces this—165 awards carry the Trailers PSC code. Midway's core offering is design and manufacture of custom-fit mobile infrastructure: command post trailers for law enforcement and defense, specialized equipment transport (hazardous materials, fiber optic splicing, fire suppression, medical), enclosed office and laboratory units for biological research and interagency operations, and general utility dump and flatbed trailers for Forest Service, BLM, and other land management agencies. The vendor's website and award summaries describe it as an established federal contractor with prior experience serving the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, Forest Service, Customs and Border Protection, and Department of Defense components—a characterization supported by the award footprint showing consistent activity across these agencies since at least 2009.
