Government contracts for trucking & hauling in Rhode Island

Trucking & hauling contracts in Rhode Island typically cover dump-truck and aggregate hauling for road and public-works projects, equipment and heavy-machinery transport, freight deliveries between agency facilities, courier and box-truck delivery routes, and on-call hourly hauling IDIQs. Federal posts in this category fall under NAICS 484220 (Specialized Freight Trucking, Local), with related work under 484110 (General Freight Trucking, Local) and 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services), and the bulk of the work flows to DoD installations, the U.S. Postal Service, GSA logistics offices, and state Departments of Transportation. Hauling and freight work is heavily small-business set-aside, and many state DOT hauling solicitations are reserved for DBE-certified or locally based operators, keeping single-truck and small-fleet owner-operators competitive.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the trucking & hauling work in Rhode Island is posted through the Rhode Island Division of Purchases bid portal, with recurring buyers including RIDOT and the University of Rhode Island. The Division of Purchases handles centralized buying for nearly all state agencies and quasi-publics. ContractRadar pulls federal postings from SAM.gov alongside state and local feeds so a trucking and hauling contractor doesn't have to monitor each portal manually.
