Government contracts for trucking & hauling in Texas

Trucking & hauling contracts in Texas 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.

Texas currently has 6 open trucking & hauling contracts in our database, with 6 added in the last 30 days. That's a steady cadence — enough flow to make automated alerting worthwhile rather than manual portal-checking. The most active buyers are Tarrant County (2 open posts) and City of Lubbock (2), with the rest spread across other federal civilian agencies, DoD components, and state and local departments active in Texas.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the trucking & hauling work in Texas is posted through the Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD) and TxSmartBuy, with recurring buyers including TxDOT, the University of Texas and Texas A&M systems, and large school districts (HISD, DISD, Cy-Fair ISD). Texas runs the second-largest state procurement program in the country — its HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) program imposes aggressive subcontracting goals on most large awards. 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.
