ARP Richard C III

ARP Richard C III, doing business as Primo Gardens, is a for-profit small business sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov since May 2, 2005, with its principal place of business located at 602 Bonham Ave, Wilmington, North Carolina. The company specializes in providing landscaping and ground maintenance services to federal government facilities, with a demonstrated track record of supporting the operational readiness and facility quality standards at U.S. Coast Guard installations. Primo Gardens has maintained a consistent contractual relationship with the federal government, particularly focusing on comprehensive ground service support that sustains both the physical infrastructure and quality of life for military personnel stationed at these facilities.

Primo Gardens has received five consecutive annual purchase order contracts from the United States Coast Guard, each valued between $10,500 and $11,700, spanning from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2026. The contractor has primarily performed landscaping services, groundskeeping services, and general ground maintenance at Coast Guard facilities located in Wristsville Beach and Wilmington, North Carolina. Two of these contracts, awarded on October 1, 2021 and October 1, 2022, were designated as total small business set-asides, while the three subsequent awards made on October 1, 2023, October 1, 2024, and October 1, 2025 were awarded without set-aside designations, though the contractor continues to qualify as a small business. All contracts are structured as firm fixed-price purchase orders funded by the Department of Homeland Security's Coast Guard, demonstrating the vendor's specialization in providing essential, recurring grounds maintenance support to a single federal agency across multiple fiscal years.
