Brader, Kerin

Brader, Kerin, a sole proprietorship based in Parsons, Kansas, provides park cleaning and campground facility maintenance services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with no sub-award activity, competing on small-business-reserved delivery orders and indefinite-delivery contracts for recreational facility cleaning at Corps of Engineers parks and lakes in Arkansas.

Brader, Kerin's entire footprint is concentrated with a single customer: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers accounts for all nine awards and the combined potential value of $813 thousand. The vendor holds two active indefinite-delivery contracts with the Corps — a single-award IDC (W9127S22D0007) for $175,655 covering Hickory Creek and War Eagle parks through February 2025, and a more recent single-award IDC (W9127S25D0017) awarded July 10, 2025, for $300,870 covering comprehensive daily cleaning across 11 parks at Beaver Lake (Starkey, Dam Site Lake, Indian Creek, Lost Bridge North and South, Rocky Branch, Prairie Creek, Horseshoe Bend, Hickory Creek, and War Eagle) through December 31, 2029. Representative delivery orders under these vehicles include a $59,235 firm fixed-price task order issued February 6, 2026, for park cleaning at Bentonville, Arkansas under the newer Beaver Lake contract (set aside for Total Small Business), a $63,025 delivery order from March 2024 for Hickory Creek Park cleaning in Rogers, Arkansas, and a $55,440 order from March 2023 for Beaver Park cleaning. Work spans daily cleaning of campsites, restrooms, picnic areas, roads, parking lots, playgrounds, and showers across the Beaver Lake recreational system.

Activity has been modest and episodic — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in early 2026 — with one award (the $59,235 delivery order) completing within the next twenty-four months. Obligation rate stands at 37% of potential value across the portfolio, typical for indefinite-delivery vehicles where options remain unexercised. The vendor's work is classified under Janitorial Services (NAICS, seven awards) and Operation of Recreation Facilities (two awards), reflecting its specialization in routine facility maintenance for federal recreational properties. Brader, Kerin has maintained a consistent relationship with the Corps of Engineers Engineering District Little Rock since at least 2022, securing renewals and extensions across multiple parks within the Beaver Lake system.
