Columbus Barricades, Inc.

Columbus Barricades, Inc., doing business as Columbus Barricade & Safety, is a woman-owned small disadvantaged business (WOSB) and self-certified small disadvantaged business (SDB) based in Columbus, Georgia, that provides pavement contracting, road repair, drainage installation, and recreation facility construction services to the U.S. Army as a prime contractor. The vendor operates as a Subchapter S corporation and competes exclusively under the small business set-aside posture that anchors its core customer relationship — the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region's $48.7 million total-small-business-set-aside indefinite delivery contract.

Columbus Barricades exhibits extreme customer concentration, with 153 of 159 awards (96% of recent activity by count) and $174.9 million of $176.3 million combined potential value (99% of dollars) flowing from a single customer: the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region. The remaining four awards, worth roughly $1.5 million combined, come from the Army Materiel Command at Fort Benning, the Army Training and Doctrine Command, and the Army broadly. This concentration is neither a partnership risk signal nor a diversification concern — it reflects the vendor's intentional positioning as a specialized regional infrastructure contractor locked into a single long-term vehicle rather than a broad-based federal supplier.

The vendor's prime contract footprint sits entirely on two parent IDCs issued by Army IMCOM Southeast Region. The $48.7 million single-award IDC (W911SF18D0001, running through June 2028) has generated 104 task orders worth $55 million in combined potential value; a second $48.7 million single-award IDC (W911SF23D0002, awarded May 2023) has generated 51 task orders worth $26.7 million. All 159 awards in the source are delivery orders under one of these two vehicles. Columbus Barricades does not hold seats on government-wide IDIQs, GWACs, or multi-agency BPAs; its entire federal footprint is captive to Army IMCOM Southeast.

Work scope is narrowly specialized: 157 of 159 awards fall under NAICS 238110 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with 156 of 159 under PSC D302 (Maintenance of Highways, Roads, Streets, Bridges, Railways). Representative delivery orders include a $1.98 million firm fixed-price task for road shoulder improvements and bike lane addition on Jecelin and 82nd Division Road at Fort Moore (September 2025); a $1.29 million repair of the motor pool facility at Building 2781 at Fort Moore (September 2025); a $913 thousand sidewalk construction on 2nd Armor Division Road (September 2025); a $2.94 million runway repair task (May 2023); and multiple pavement resurfacing, drainage repair, and recreation trail construction tasks ranging from $27 thousand to $1.6 million. All work is performed at or near Fort Moore, Georgia (formerly Fort Benning), with secondary activity at Fort Gordon.

Activity volume has declined year over year: 31 awards in 2022, 28 in 2023, 14 in 2024, 12 in 2025, and 1 thus far in 2026. The vendor faces minimal recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months — thirteen awards with combined potential value of $12.2 million — but carries substantial structural recompete risk when the two parent IDCs approach their June 2028 expiration, unless recompete is awarded to Columbus Barricades. The vendor has no named subcontractors in the source data; all work is self-performed by Columbus Barricades as the prime.

Set-aside posture is bimodal across the recent award stream. Roughly half of delivery orders carry "Total Small Business" set-aside designation; the remainder carry "No Set-Aside Used," indicating Columbus Barricades is competing full-and-open (not restricted to small business) for individual task orders under the total-small-business-set-aside parent vehicles. The vendor's WOSB and SDB certifications enable it to win awards under both restricted and unrestricted competitions within the same IDC.
