Five Hats LLC

Five Hats LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Mena, Arkansas, delivers small building and facility construction, maintenance, and repair services to federal land-management and water-infrastructure agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates across a narrow geographic footprint centered on Arkansas and Oklahoma and competes entirely within set-aside vehicles, with zero subcontract work or parent IDIQs in its award portfolio.

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region) dominates Five Hats's customer base, accounting for 22 of 32 awards (69% of all work) and $550 thousand of the combined $893 thousand potential value. The vendor's work for Forest Service consists of routine facility and infrastructure maintenance across the Ouachita National Forest and Ozark National Forest — roof replacements, septic and sewer lift station repairs and upgrades, bathhouse door and equipment replacement, eyewash station installation, fire cache improvements, and painting services. Secondary customers include the National Park Service Midwest Region (2 awards, $178 thousand for staircase replacement and site remediation at Fort Smith National Historic Site and other locations), the General Services Administration (2 awards, $39 thousand), the U.S. Geological Survey ($34 thousand for cableway dismantling at Cibecue Creek and Carrizo Creek), and the Army Corps of Engineers ($25 thousand for lift station rehabilitation at Wister Lake). Representative awards include an $81.4 thousand definitive contract from Forest Service Region 8 (June 2026) for miscellaneous building construction spanning roof replacement, structural repairs, sewer installation, and valve replacement across four sites in Arkansas and Oklahoma under a total small business set-aside; a $59.6 thousand National Park Service purchase order (May 2026) for exterior fire staircase replacement at Fort Smith National Historic Site, also under total small business set-aside; and a $38.7 thousand Forest Service contract (September 2023) for sewer lift station replacement at Ozark Cove Lake in Russellville, Arkansas.

Activity has been episodic. The vendor received 10 awards in 2023, then dropped to 1 award each in 2024 and 2025, with 4 awards arriving in 2026 year-to-date. Three awards (combined potential value $175 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and thus present recompete exposure. The vendor's service mix clusters in roofing contractors (6 awards), commercial and institutional building construction (5 awards), and plumbing, heating, and HVAC services (5 awards), with secondary work in water and sewer line construction and sewage treatment facilities. Five Hats has no seat on government-wide vehicles, IDIQs, BPAs, or GSA schedules; all work flows through small-business-reserved solicitations issued directly by customer agencies.
