Sullivan Moving & Storage, Inc.

Sullivan Moving & Storage, Inc., doing business as The CMS Co, is a San Diego-based for-profit subchapter S corporation and subsidiary of Corporate Moving Systems, Inc. that provides household goods packing, unpacking, storage, containerization, and transportation services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The vendor competes on full and open terms with no set-aside designations across all awards in the source data.

Sullivan's customer base concentrates heavily within the Department of State. The top five customer agencies by award count—driven entirely by State Department bureaus—account for 90% of recent awards. The Department of State Bureau of Human Resources dominates with 248 awards and $2.5 million in combined potential value, followed by the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs with 38 awards ($453 thousand). The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations, the main State Department entity, and the Bureau of Political Military Affairs complete the active set. However, the dollar concentration shows a different picture: the Department of the Air Force ranks first by potential value with two awards worth $5.6 million combined. The Air Force award is a $3.95 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Air Education and Training Command (ultimate completion December 31, 2027) covering personal property and household goods handling—including pre-move surveys, weighing, packing, containerization, tagging, inventorying, and temporary storage of household goods for Department of Defense personnel in Arizona counties. This parent vehicle anchors Sullivan's potential-value profile despite the State Department's overwhelming volume advantage.

Sullivan's work for the State Department centers on small delivery orders from the Bureau of Human Resources, typically $10,000 to $35,000 each, for packing, unpacking, storage, and transportation of household goods and personal effects supporting personnel relocations in San Diego, California and Mexico. Recent representative examples include a $17,236 delivery order (May 28, 2024) for packing and storage services in Mexico, a $33,900 delivery order (May 16, 2023) for packing and storage in Mexico, and a $25,000 delivery order (March 8, 2023) for packing and storage in San Diego. Sullivan also holds two indefinite delivery contracts with the State Department—IDC SMX72013D0008 (104 task orders, $958 thousand combined potential value) and IDC 19MX7219D0001 (103 task orders, $1.4 million combined potential value)—that serve as parent vehicles for routine delivery order placements.

Activity trajectory shows moderate volatility: 23 awards in 2022, 21 in 2023, 30 in 2024, dropping to 6 in 2025 and 3 in 2026 year-to-date. This decline reflects the seasonal and project-driven nature of relocation contract work. Sullivan's primary NAICS concentration sits in packing and crating (292 awards of 375 total), with smaller exposure to used household goods moving (27 awards) and warehousing (22 awards combined). PSC coding reflects the same pattern: 131 awards under packing/crating, 110 under lodging (likely representing HHE temporary storage components), and 42 under specialized shipping containers. Sullivan operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontract activity in the source data, controlling end-to-end delivery of relocation logistics across its customer set.
