Austin, Jay Cleatus

Austin, Jay Cleatus, a sole proprietorship based in Anderson, South Carolina, operates as a park attendant and campground services contractor for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, winning all work under Total Small Business set-asides since 2016 and competing exclusively in the small business category.

The vendor's federal portfolio is narrowly concentrated with a single customer across six awards worth $130 thousand combined potential value. The Army Corps of Engineers, Engineering District Savannah, accounts for five awards ($112 thousand) and the broader Army Corps of Engineers for one award ($18 thousand) — effectively 100% customer concentration. All work falls under NAICS 721211 (RV Parks and Campgrounds) and PSC code for recreation facility operations.

The vendor's capability scope is specific and repetitive: park attendant services, gatehouse operations, campground fee collection, reservation processing, visitor assistance, and site surveillance at Hartwell Lake and Coneross "A" Campground in the Savannah District area. Recent work includes a $26,940 purchase order awarded April 27, 2026, for 24-hour gatehouse and campground operations at Hartwell Lake through September 30, 2027, under a four-days-on/four-days-off rotating schedule; a $21,330 purchase order from December 2023 covering park attendant services at Coneross "A" and Hartwell Lake through September 2025; and an $18,960 purchase order from February 2022 for Coneross "A" Campground operations through September 2023. Activity is sparse and episodic — one award each in 2017, 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2026 — with $119 thousand obligated across the portfolio (92% of potential value). One award valued at $27 thousand faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and represents recompete exposure. The vendor operates as a sole proprietor without subcontract relationships and competes solely as a prime under Total Small Business set-asides.
