Transportation Management Services Inc.

Transportation Management Services Inc., a Frederick, Maryland-based for-profit corporation with over 27 years of experience, provides evacuation planning, emergency response logistics, and transportation coordination services to civilian federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

TMS's customer base is heavily concentrated in FEMA, which accounts for 84% of recent awards and 97% of combined potential value across all funding sources. FEMA's Incident Support Section alone carries 31 awards valued at $98.7 million, while FEMA's broader organization adds another 20 awards at $81.1 million. The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service contributes 2 awards worth $44.5 million. Fourteen other agencies account for the remaining 3% of potential value, including the Department of the Army National Guard and the Department of State's Office of the Chief of Protocol, indicating a deeply FEMA-dependent revenue base with minimal customer diversification.

TMS operates principally under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), where 45 task orders carry $155.5 million in combined potential value. The company also holds two additional parent vehicles: the Transportation, Delivery and Relocation Services contract with 33 task orders ($12.5 million combined value) and an indefinite delivery contract (HSFE9014D0019) with 24 task orders ($4.8 million). TMS's largest IDV is a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for general population evacuation planning and operational support services, awarded by FEMA on October 16, 2023, with a ceiling of $33.5 million and an ultimate completion date of October 15, 2028. This BPA anchors the company's current work stream and represents its principal vehicle for FEMA task order placement.

Capability work centers on evacuation planning, emergency operational support, and disaster-response coordination. Recent representative awards include a $1.5 million delivery order from GSA (acting on FEMA's behalf) for emergency bus services in California at Travis Air Force Base in March 2023; multiple FEMA BPA calls for general population evacuation planning and operational support in Virginia (Hampton Roads), Louisiana (New Orleans-area airports), Mississippi, and New York City, ranging from $138 thousand to $479 thousand per call; and a $260 thousand purchase order from the Department of State's Office of the Chief of Protocol in February 2026 for transportation support at a planned event in Doral, Florida. The portfolio's top NAICS category is Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services (71 awards), with emergency response and disaster planning as the dominant PSC code (39 awards under Support-Professional emergency response designation).

Activity has been uneven. The vendor recorded three awards in 2020, three in 2021, six in 2022, three in 2023, and one in early 2026, indicating volatility rather than steady growth. Only one award with a potential value of $260 thousand faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in the near term but raising visibility risk around larger FEMA BPA renewals scheduled for late 2028 and beyond.

The Service Contract Inventory dataset, which captures federal service contracts above the $150 thousand threshold and excludes goods and products, shows TMS reported $4.7 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024, down sharply from $2.7 million in FY2022 to zero in FY2024. FTE delivery fell from 6.7 in FY2022 to 2.2 in FY2023 and zero in FY2024, indicating minimal SCI-reportable prime service contract activity in recent years — likely because TMS's largest revenue driver, the $33.5 million FEMA BPA, was awarded after the FY2024 SCI reporting window closed. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reported prime contracts ranged around $194/hr median, with rates spanning $189–$204/hr across the 10th–90th percentile. TMS maintains 70 active labor categories on the GSA Schedule, spanning entry-level non-emergency planning and operations clerical support at $52.61/hr (high school education, no experience) through emergency planning and operations project executives at $266.31/hr (bachelor's degree, twelve years experience), with no security-cleared roles offered. The vendor carries zero sub-engagement share on its prime contracts, performing all contracted work in-house.
