Deshotel, Luke

Deshotel, Luke — doing business as Luke Deshotel's Construction — is a sole proprietorship self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Mamou, Louisiana, providing grease trap pumping, sewage removal, and facility vacuum services to the Bureau of Prisons under small business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor on purchase orders, with 100% of its 54 recent federal awards concentrated in Bureau of Prisons facility maintenance work.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme and localized. Three Bureau of Prisons facilities account for 89% of recent awards and 85% of combined potential value: Federal Correctional Complex Oakdale (22 awards, $213 thousand combined potential value), Federal Correctional Institution Oakdale (13 awards, $149 thousand), and Federal Correctional Complex Pollock (13 awards, $127 thousand). All work is performed in Louisiana and flows through two parent IDIQs: DJBP051800000050 (5 task orders, $35 thousand) and DJBP0519KP140001 (2 task orders, $15 thousand). Concrete representative work includes a $14,720 purchase order from Federal Correctional Complex Pollock on September 30, 2026, for grease trap waste pumping under total small business set-aside; a $22,060 firm fixed-price order from the same facility on November 15, 2025, for grease trap cleaning and maintenance; and a $13,280 purchase order from Federal Correctional Complex Oakdale on March 1, 2025, for food service grease trap pumping.

The vendor's service portfolio is narrowly specialized: grease trap and sewage infrastructure maintenance, facility vacuum services, and emergency waste removal for federal correctional facilities. NAICS distribution reflects this focus, with sewage treatment facilities (24 awards), miscellaneous waste management services (15 awards), and nonhazardous waste treatment and disposal (8 awards) dominating the footprint. PSC coding similarly concentrates on housekeeping and waste treatment facility maintenance.

Activity has been modest and flat. Over the past five years, the vendor received two to four awards per year, with 2026 showing two awards so far. The combined potential value across all 54 awards since 2008 stands at $578 thousand, with $484 thousand obligated (84% realization rate), indicating consistent small-dollar purchase-order engagement rather than scalable contract vehicles or prime revenue growth. The vendor has maintained a long-standing relationship with the Bureau of Prisons since at least 2008, but no recompete cliff or major vehicle transition is evident in the source data.
