Gardner Richard

Gardner Richard, a sole proprietorship based in Collinsville, Mississippi, operates as a prime contractor providing seasonal gate attendant and campground management services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under small business set-asides. The vendor is certified as a small disadvantaged business and competes exclusively under total small business set-asides; all eleven recent awards carry that designation.

Gardner Richard's entire federal footprint centers on a single customer: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, which accounts for 100% of recent awards and combined potential value. Within that agency, the Engineering District Mobile (USACE Mobile) issued five awards ($30 thousand combined potential value) for park gate attendant and campground management services at Okatibbee Lake Twiltley Branch Campground in Collinsville, Mississippi. The remaining six awards ($26 thousand combined) come from other USACE divisions and functional areas (Civil Works, Finance) covering similar seasonal gate attendant work at the same facility. Representative work includes a $3,220 purchase order awarded July 16, 2026, for Schedule B gate attendant and campground management services at Okatibbee Lake Twiltley Branch Campground, with performance concluding September 30, 2026; a $3,360 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded February 28, 2025, for park gate attendant services during the Spring-Summer 2025 season; and a $5,320 purchase order awarded September 19, 2022, for Fall 2022–Winter 2023 gate attendant coverage. All work is performed at the Okatibbee Lake facility.

The vendor's work aligns to NAICS RV (Recreational Vehicle) Parks and Campgrounds and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Recreation Site Maintenance (Non-Construction). Activity has been episodic—two awards in 2021 and 2022 each, with single awards in 2024, 2025, and 2026—reflecting the seasonal nature of campground operations. Combined potential value across all eleven awards is $60 thousand with 100% obligated. No recompete window is visible in the source data, as awards are small and short-term seasonal contracts. The vendor does not hold a federal contract vehicle seat and operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint.
