Kelly Ricky

Kelly Ricky, doing business as G-Pas Contracting, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Creal Springs, Illinois, that operates park attendant services at Rend Lake Park in Benton, Illinois, as a prime contractor under a single-award blanket purchase agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers. All seven awards in the recent footprint are prime contracts issued under total small business set-asides.

G-Pas Contracting's entire capability portfolio centers on park attendant services — collecting user fees, managing camping reservations, maintaining fee booths, and disseminating information to visitors and park rangers — at a single federal recreation facility. The vendor holds a single-award BPA with the Army Corps of Engineers established March 24, 2023, with a ceiling value of $455,025.26 running through March 2028. The BPA serves as the parent vehicle for four task orders issued between March 2023 and March 2026, each valued between $9,016 and $10,020, with ultimate completion dates ranging from October 2023 through October 2026. The work is classified under NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and PSC code for operation of non-building recreation facilities.

Customer concentration is entirely vertical — all seven awards originate with the Army Corps of Engineers (both the parent agency and the Engineering District St. Louis office). The Army Corps of Engineers accounts for $486 thousand combined potential value in three awards attributable to Engineering District St. Louis and $64 thousand in four awards attributed to the parent agency, totaling $550 thousand across the footprint. Combined dollars obligated across all awards are $95 thousand, representing 17% of combined potential value. Activity is minimal and sporadic — one award in 2020, then two in 2023, and one each in 2024, 2025, and 2026. One award (valued at $10 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete in that window. The vendor operates no subcontractor relationships and holds no seats on government-wide vehicles or multi-agency IDIQs.
