James O Carman

James O Carman, doing business as C & J Janitorial Service & Supply, is a sole proprietorship based in Franklin, North Carolina, that provides janitorial, trash pickup, and facility cleaning services exclusively to the U.S. Forest Service under small-business set-aside contracts and blanket purchase agreements. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor (17 awards across recent activity) with no subcontract engagement.

C & J Janitorial specializes in janitorial services and custodial maintenance, delivering work across two Forest Service operating units within the Department of Agriculture. The vendor holds a single-award BPA (Blanket Purchase Agreement 12444123A0008, valued at $650,000, running April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2028) with the Forest Service Region 8–Southern Region for janitorial and trash pickup services at administrative and recreational facilities in the Nantahala East area near Franklin. Under this BPA, the vendor has issued four task orders since 2023, ranging from $90,847 to $96,627 per order. Representative work includes a $96,627 firm fixed-price call order awarded April 1, 2026, for janitorial and trash pickup services at the Nantahala East recreational facility through March 31, 2027 (Total Small Business set-aside); a $82,614 purchase order awarded February 27, 2023, for janitorial services at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory (four buildings, approximately 17,537 square feet) through February 29, 2028; and a $67,870 purchase order awarded August 29, 2022, for janitorial services at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory bunk house and dormitory through August 31, 2027. All awards carry firm fixed-price terms and Total Small Business or no-set-aside designations.

Customer concentration is complete. The Forest Service accounts for all 17 awards in recent activity: 11 awards totaling $1.5 million from Region 8–Southern Region and 6 awards totaling $285 thousand from the Southern Research Station. The vendor has no exposure outside the Forest Service. The BPA vehicle accounts for four task orders valued at $375 thousand combined. Activity has been irregular — one award in 2022, three in 2023, then one each in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — with four awards (combined potential value $340 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete exposure. Combined potential value across all awards is $1.8 million, with $1 million obligated to date.
