Midway Trailers, Inc.

Midway Trailers, Inc., operating through its Total Trailers Division and doing business as Midway Trailers Inc., manufactures and delivers specialized trailers to federal agencies as a prime contractor (98% of awards) on a predominantly full-and-open basis, with a small business footprint that recurs across approximately half of all recent delivery orders. The company is a Subchapter S Corporation and for-profit entity headquartered in Benton, Missouri, with facilities in Nappanee, Indiana and regional operations at multiple locations. Midway Trailers does not carry SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB designations; it qualifies as a small business under the size standards applicable to its NAICS codes (primarily Truck Trailer Manufacturing, NAICS 336211) and competes in total small business set-asides when applied, but the majority of its recent prime work (approximately 55% of awards) carries no set-aside designation.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on custom trailer design, engineering, and manufacturing for federal logistics, emergency response, law enforcement, and research infrastructure. Representative work includes a $195,695 mobile command trailer for Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (awarded February 2024 under GSA MAS), a $283,050 definitive contract with Defense Logistics Agency Distribution for 28-foot by 8.5-foot mobile trailers (January 2023), a $344,022 purchase order to the Department of Veterans Affairs for two 40-person bunkhouse command units with refrigeration and five-year maintenance coverage (August 2022), a $251,600 delivery order for FY22 command post trailers to the U.S. Marshals Service Judicial Security Division under total small business set-aside (September 2022), fiber optic splicing trailers valued at $179,500 for Air Force Air Education and Training Command (August 2023), and numerous gooseneck, enclosed cargo, dump, tilt-bed, and UTV transport trailers across Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Army deployments. Trailers range in value from $8,249 to over $350,000 per unit. Specialized variants include enclosed mobile laboratories, mobile event stages, dive team trailers, hazardous fuels reduction equipment transports, and mobile infrastructure for wildland fire management and line crew operations.

Customer concentration sits with federal logistics and civilian infrastructure agencies. The top five customers by award count account for approximately 20% of all awards: Air Combat Command (9 awards, $858 thousand combined potential value), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (8 awards, $15.7 million), Western Area Power Administration (8 awards, $303 thousand), Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Central Region (7 awards, $367 thousand), and Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 (7 awards, $305 thousand). By potential value, however, GSA dominates at $15.7 million across 8 awards, followed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division ($2.3 million across 3 awards, anchored by a $2 million blanket purchase agreement for command post trailers established in 2021 and running through 2026), and Air Combat Command ($858 thousand). The vendor serves 90 distinct federal agencies across the recent award record, reflecting broad federal market penetration in civilian infrastructure and defense support roles.

Midway Trailers operates almost exclusively through the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule (GSA MAS), which carries 139 task orders valued at $10.4 million combined potential value — approximately 71% of the prime contract vehicle portfolio. The company holds a long-term $2 million single-award blanket purchase agreement with the FBI Headquarters Division (set-aside for small business), established in 2021 and extended through September 2026, for temporary self-contained command post trailers. Two additional federal IDVs appear in the vehicle record: a 6th Generation Fire and Emergency Services Equipment Tailored Logistics Support vehicle (2 task orders) and IDC W91CRB17D0009 (1 task order). No GWAC or agency-wide IDIQ presence is evident in the source data; the vendor's reach is delivered through GSA Schedule and targeted single-award or limited-award BPAs with individual agencies.

Activity has grown from 17 awards in 2022 to a peak of 33 in 2023, then moderated to 30 in 2024 and 13 in 2025 year-to-date, with 18 awards recorded in 2026 through late September. The combined potential value across the entire 199-award footprint is $29.2 million, with $13.3 million obligated (46% realization rate). Eleven awards reaching completion within the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $583 thousand, representing a modest recompete exposure window; the bulk of the recompete risk is concentrated in 2025–2026 deliveries on established GSA Schedule task orders.

In its subcontractor role, Midway Trailers appears minimally (4 sub-awards, 2% of total footprint). Named subs include Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (for Stallion F75024150 rack-ready units, January 2025), KBR Wyle Services, LLC (incremental funding modification through option years 3 and 4, November 2024), and Astrion Group, LLC (for 24-foot bumper pull trailer sub-delivery, January 2024). The sub-award activity is sparse and episodic, suggesting Midway Trailers functions primarily as a prime rather than a component of larger integration chains.

Midway Trailers carries one named subsidiary in the corporate structure: Midway Trailers Incorporated. The vendor's business model centers on manufacturing and rapid-delivery specialized trailers to federal agencies through simplified GSA procurement mechanisms, with a demonstrated capability in custom engineering for unique federal mission requirements — from emergency response and law enforcement command infrastructure to scientific research platforms and energy utility line crew support.
