Lewis & Seely Appraisals LLC

Lewis & Seely Appraisals LLC, doing business as Lewis Seely Appraisals Inc., provides real estate appraisal and expert witness services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, operating as a small-business Subchapter S corporation based in Lufkin, Texas. The firm competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, with 91 of its 115 recent awards classified under NAICS 531320 (Offices of Real Estate Appraisers), and derives the bulk of its revenue from land valuation work for federal property acquisition and conservation initiatives.

Lewis & Seely's customer concentration centers on the Department of the Interior. The top-five customer agencies account for coverage of both award count and potential value, but the rankings diverge sharply: the Interior Department's Office of Policy Management and Budget leads by award count (12 awards, $242 thousand combined potential value), while the Army Corps of Engineers dominates potential value ($7 million in a single award, plus seven additional USACE Engineering District Fort Worth orders totaling $5.3 million combined potential value). The Interior Fish and Wildlife Service accounts for 10 awards by count, and the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service contributes 9 awards. The vendor has served 17 distinct customer agencies across recent years, but Interior and Army Corps of Engineers represent the core customer footprint. Recent work exemplifies the capability mix: a $192,900 labor-hour purchase order with the Internal Revenue Service for expert witness services on the Tortuga Trace Partnership Ecovest Management docket (awarded April 20, 2026, running through 2031); a $20,000 Total Small Business set-aside with Interior's Office of Policy Management and Budget for land appraisal services on two wood-county Texas tracts (August 27, 2025); and a $39,500 appraisal contract for Moody National Wildlife Refuge in Chambers County, Texas (February 25, 2025).

Lewis & Seely operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract activity in the source data. The firm's task-order footprint is light: three orders under the Indefinite Delivery Contract C1253020081 ($5 thousand combined potential value) and two orders under the Blanket Purchase Agreement W9126G13A0001 ($49 thousand combined potential value). Activity has been episodic — one to three awards per year in 2020–2021 and 2024–2026 — with 115 total awards and $13.4 million combined potential value across a 35-year span dating to 1991. Only $1.6 million has been obligated (12% of combined potential value), indicating a long tail of small, single-award purchase orders. The vendor's professional credential posture centers on Texas Certified General Appraiser licensure and demonstrated expertise in conforming to the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions, with a consistent track record supporting Interior's national wildlife refuge land assessment and acquisition efforts across multiple Texas counties.
