Lee H. Carter Building Service Inc.

Lee H. Carter Building Service Inc., operating through its Carter Motorsports Division and doing business as Carter Lee H Building Service Inc., supplies utility terrain vehicles (UTVs), all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and motorcycles to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively under the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule (MAS). The vendor is a small business based in Hanson, Kentucky, with no SBA set-aside designations; roughly 40% of recent awards, however, are set aside for total small business, indicating mixed posture across the federal footprint.

Carter Motorsports operates as a direct supplier of commercially manufactured powersports equipment — Kawasaki Mules, Yamaha Vikings and Wolverines, John Deere XUVs, Honda Pioneers, and equivalent models — sourced and delivered to federal agencies with minimal customization. The vendor holds no primary production capability; its role is acquisition, configuration with specified accessories where required (snow plows, enclosed cabs, roofs, windshields, electrical kits), and logistics. Recent representative awards include a $136,346.65 delivery order from the Forest Service Eastern Region in September 2023 for Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest UTV purchases; a $205,459.14 total-small-business delivery order from Air Education and Training Command in August 2021 for Kawasaki Mules; and a $128,926.20 order from the National Park Service Intermountain Region in August 2021 for Padre Island National Seashore UTVs.

Customer concentration is highly dispersed across 70 distinct federal agencies. The top five agencies by award count represent only 25% of total awards. The top tier is led by Air Education and Training Command (12 awards, $543 thousand combined potential value) and the Air Force broadly (10 awards, $322 thousand), followed by Forest Service Region 9–Eastern (9 awards, $184 thousand), National Park Service Southeast Region (8 awards, $198 thousand), and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 (7 awards, $135 thousand). When ranked by potential value, Air Education and Training Command and the Air Force hold the largest dollar exposure, but no single customer anchors the portfolio — the top five by value represent only 9% of combined potential value. The vendor is entirely dependent on the GSA MAS vehicle: 164 task orders, valued at $5.4 million combined potential value, constitute the complete parent-vehicle footprint.

Award activity has declined steadily over the past five years — from 21 awards in 2022 to 8 awards year-to-date in 2026 — suggesting either market saturation, increased competition on MAS pricing, or shift in federal powersports procurement patterns. The recompete cliff presents minimal near-term risk: only 5 awards with combined potential value of $205 thousand will reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's combined potential value across all 184 prime awards totals $17.5 million, with $5.9 million (34%) obligated to date, indicating a backlog of orders in execution or delivery phase.

Carter Motorsports maintains no subcontractor footprint and performs no manufacturing. The business model is straightforward acquisition and delivery against government purchase orders and delivery orders, concentrated in light truck and utility vehicle manufacturing (NAICS 336110, 171 awards) and motorcycles (PSC 2320, 84 awards). The vendor competes in a commoditized market with low technical barriers to entry; differentiation derives from MAS contract access, inventory availability, and logistics execution rather than proprietary capability.
