Inc.. A Close Corporation Carter's Contracting Services

Inc.. A Close Corporation Carter's Contracting Services, a women-owned small business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm headquartered in Andalusia, Alabama, provides construction, dredging, equipment rental, and wetland restoration services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor across 312 awards totaling $1.01 billion in combined potential value. The vendor is Native American–owned and operates primarily under small business set-asides (Total Small Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, and HUBZone designations recur across the prime footprint), with recent work spanning full-and-open competitive delivery orders alongside set-aside vehicles.

Carter's Contracting Services operates a highly concentrated customer base anchored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The top five customer agencies account for 79% of awards and 94% of combined potential value, with the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Mobile dominating at 69 awards and $467.7 million in combined potential value. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters contributes a single award—a $250 million multiple-award IDIQ—that accounts for roughly one-quarter of the vendor's total portfolio value. The Army Corps of Engineers (broadly) delivered $575.3 million across 103 awards (multiple districts including Mobile and Jacksonville). The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard placed 44 awards valued at $55.2 million, and the Department of Agriculture carried 98 awards (quantity-heavy, lower individual values). Capability scope centers on water resources infrastructure: the vendor's representative work includes an $8.51 million design-repair-construction delivery order for real property and facilities support across the Mobile District (awarded July 2025); a $5.53 million levee and weir system installation along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (awarded September 2022); a $2.6 million wetland restoration contract at Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge (awarded May 2022); a $1.73 million disposal area maintenance and equipment rental order along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (awarded March 2025); and a $581,934 HUBZone-set-aside contract for low water crossing construction in Gulf County, Florida (awarded September 2024, NOAA).

Carter's Contracting Services holds position on two active large-ceiling IDIQs with the Army Corps of Engineers and one with the Department of the Interior. A $49 million single-award IDIQ with USACE Mobile District (awarded May 2022, woman-owned small business set-aside, expiring May 2027) covers equipment rental with operators for Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River System disposal area and levee maintenance across Alabama, Florida, and Georgia; delivery orders under this vehicle dominate the vendor's recent activity and include dredging, levee repair, and disposal area maintenance work. A second $49 million multiple-award MATOC with USACE Mobile District (awarded June 2025, total small business set-aside, expiring June 2030) covers design-repair-construction support for civil works across the South region of the Mobile District. A $250 million multiple-award MATOC with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (awarded January 2022, total small business set-aside, base through June 2026 with a six-month extension to December 2026) covers construction, maintenance, repair, and alteration services for Department of Interior and Forest Service properties across the continental United States and Hawaii; delivery orders issued under this vehicle address wetland restoration easements, facility repairs, and wildlife refuge infrastructure across Florida, South Carolina, and other southeastern locations.

Activity has declined sharply: nine awards in 2022 contracted to three in 2023, five in 2024, and four in 2025, with one award recorded in 2026. Across the 312-award portfolio, only four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying a combined potential value of $11.5 million in recompete exposure. The vendor's principal work category is other heavy and civil engineering construction (101 awards), followed by commercial and institutional building construction (45 awards) and industrial building construction (34 awards). PSC concentration spans construction and dredging facilities (16 awards each), miscellaneous building construction (17 awards), and maintenance and repair of non-building facilities (19 awards).

Service Contract Inventory data captures 10 records spanning FY2022–FY2024, with 9 as prime and 1 as a named subcontractor. SCI-reported invoiced revenue across all periods totaled $0, indicating the vendor's SCI-reportable work was either uncompensated or delivered at no cost to the federal government in that fiscal window. FTE trajectory shows 6.9 FTEs in FY2022, declining to zero in FY2023 and FY2024 across the SCI dataset. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontractor engagement recorded in the award portfolio. Carter's Contracting Services maintains a named subsidiary, Carters Contracting Services Incorporated, whose distinct operational role is not specified in the source material.
