KIM Kelly

KIM Kelly, doing business as Southern Camping, is a sole proprietorship based in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee, that provides park attendant services at federal campgrounds to the Department of the Army and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor. The vendor operates in the recreational vehicle parks and campgrounds space (primary NAICS) with all work falling under PSC Operation of Recreation Facilities (Non-Building); no small business set-aside applies to the majority of recent awards, though one 2025 purchase order carried a Total Small Business designation.

Southern Camping's customer base consists entirely of Army-affiliated agencies. The Department of the Army and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers account for 100% of awards, split evenly between the two entities: the Department of the Army placed 2 awards ($147 thousand combined potential value) and the Army Corps of Engineers placed 2 awards ($119 thousand combined potential value). All work centers on Cordell Hull Lake's Defeated Creek Campground in Carthage, Tennessee, where Southern Camping staffs park attendant duties under firm fixed-price purchase orders.

Recent award activity spans four prime contracts since 2021, with one award per year across 2021, 2024, 2025, and 2026. The most recent award, a March 23, 2026 Department of the Army purchase order, covers $63,600 across a base year (2026) and two option years (2027 and 2028), with ultimate completion slated for March 22, 2029. The prior year brought an $83,400 Total Small Business purchase order from the Department of the Army, also for Defeated Creek Campground operations through March 2029. Combined potential value across all four awards totals $266 thousand, with $137 thousand obligated to date. Southern Camping operates no subcontracting tier and pursues no positions on government-wide vehicles or BPAs; its footprint remains narrowly focused on recurring annual campground staffing contracts at a single federal recreation facility.
