About the company
Frontrunner Bus Group, Inc., doing business as New England Wheels, manufactures and delivers light-duty shuttle buses to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor, with no subcontractor involvement or set-aside designations across its recent footprint. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in North Billerica, Massachusetts, competing full-and-open on GSA vehicle procurement vehicles under primary NAICS 336211 (Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing).
New England Wheels operates almost entirely within a single customer relationship: GSA's Federal Acquisition Service accounts for 99 percent of awards (99 delivery orders and one indefinite delivery contract worth $89.6 million combined potential value). The one outlier is a $24 thousand award from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1. The vendor has been registered in SAM since 2005 and maintains consistent engagement with GSA's bus procurement programs.
The vendor's capability footprint is narrowly specialized: adult low-floor, 90–98 inch wide light-duty shuttle buses in orders of ten units per delivery order. Recent named contracts include a $173,957 delivery order awarded March 18, 2026 (completion November 13, 2026), a $173,845 delivery order awarded May 20, 2026 (completion January 15, 2027), and a $160,432 delivery order awarded July 20, 2026 (completion March 17, 2027), all under the GSA Vehicle Buying-2025 Main Bus Program. All work is performed at the vendor's manufacturing facility in Billerica, Massachusetts on firm fixed-price terms with no material subcontractor involvement.
New England Wheels holds two parent IDIQs under GSA's vehicle-buying umbrella. The active vehicle is the GSA Vehicle Buying-2025 Main Bus Program (indefinite delivery contract 47QMCA25D000G), a $50 million multiple-award IDIQ awarded November 25, 2024, running through November 24, 2029. The contract authorizes task orders for adult work buses, school buses, shuttles (10–49 passenger capacity), intercity coaches, and over-the-road touring coaches (56–78 passengers) to support civilian federal agency fleet modernization. Under this vehicle, the vendor has executed 33 task orders carrying $5.4 million combined potential value. The prior vehicle is indefinite delivery contract 47QMCA21D0008 (the 2020 Main Bus Program, $20 million), which supported 64 task orders worth $14.2 million combined potential value before rolling off.
Activity has grown unevenly: the vendor executed twelve awards in 2022, thirteen in 2023, nine in 2024, twenty-three in 2025, and ten in 2026 year to date. The sharp uptick in 2025 reflects rapid task-order issuance under the newly awarded 2025 IDIQ. Twenty awards with combined potential value of $3.3 million are scheduled to complete within the next twenty-four months, presenting immediate recompete exposure. The vendor's obligated spend to date is $19.6 million against $89.6 million potential value, indicating execution is underway but substantial capacity remains to be invoiced across the active vehicle through 2029.
