W&K Container, Inc.

W&K Container, Inc., doing business as W&K Container Corp, manufactures and sells ISO-compliant shipping containers and specialized freight containers to the federal government as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and unrestricted procurements. The company is a small business Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Mill Valley, California, with recent performance locations in Basalt, Colorado. W&K competes predominantly under small business set-asides on the Defense Logistics Agency's construction and equipment procurement vehicle, with 86% of recent awards designated Total Small Business set-asides.

W&K's federal customer base concentrates overwhelmingly on the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment function, which accounts for 570 awards (86% of recent volume) and $115.9 million in combined potential value. The second-tier customer, the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Gilmer, holds only 16 awards ($670 thousand), creating pronounced concentration risk. By dollar magnitude, however, the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal dominates: two awards carry $321.5 million combined potential value, anchoring W&K's overall portfolio to a single customer relationship. This split between volume concentration (DLA Troop Support) and dollar concentration (Army Materiel Command) signals dependency on a narrow customer base and significant exposure to recompete or program change at either entity.

W&K's concrete capability footprint centers on freight container manufacturing and supply: standard ISO 20-foot and 40-foot containers, high-cube variants, and specialized configurations including quadcons (quad containers), tricons (triple containers), and bicons (two-container units). Representative work includes a $7.669 million definitive contract from Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support (February 2024) for 2,666 ISO cargo containers across seven lots delivered to Blue Grass Army Depot, Crane Army Ammunition Activity, Letterkenny Munitions Center, Fort Stewart, Fort Bliss, McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, and Anniston Munitions Center; a $1.167 million firm fixed-price purchase order (October 2024) for SDDC 20-foot double-doors end containers to multiple CONUS locations; and a $3.232 million firm fixed-price contract (October 2024) for 2,666 ISO cargo containers to the same seven-location deployment. W&K also operates delivery orders under the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), which carries a ceiling of $6 million, with 24 task orders totaling $880 thousand across civilian agencies including the Bureau of Prisons, Coast Guard, and Air Force installations.

W&K's activity trajectory shows modest decline over the past five years: 58 awards in 2022, 50 in 2023, 65 in 2024, 52 in 2025, and 16 year-to-date in 2026 (through March 31). The combined potential value across all 661 awards in the source dataset stands at $447.6 million, with $120.2 million obligated to date (27% execution rate). Within the next twenty-four months, only two awards totaling $897 thousand face ultimate completion, suggesting limited near-term recompete exposure in the visible pipeline. However, W&K's dependence on DLA Troop Support's annual procurement cycles and the Army Materiel Command's large multi-year delivery schedule means recompete risk is concentrated on renewal or repricing of those core relationships rather than distributed across a broad award portfolio.

W&K's category concentration aligns tightly with its core business: 563 of 661 awards fall under NAICS 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing), with 503 awards classified under PSC code for Freight Containers and 103 under Specialized Shipping and Storage Containers. The company competes full-and-open on certain larger definitive contracts and unrestricted MAS task orders but derives the majority of its volume from total small business set-asides. W&K carries no listed subcontracting relationships in the source data; all 661 awards are prime contracts. The company's GSA MAS contract and its long-term relationships with DLA Troop Support through recurring purchase orders represent its primary vehicles for federal work.
