Lucas B Thomas

Lucas B Thomas, operating as Hot Springs Trading Post Division, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship that provides janitorial, grounds maintenance, and portable toilet services to the U.S. Forest Service Southern Region as a prime contractor competing entirely outside set-aside vehicles — though several individual task orders are set aside for total small business participation.

The vendor's entire federal footprint consists of twelve prime awards across two single-award blanket purchase agreements with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region), with combined potential value of $443 thousand and combined obligations of $118 thousand. There are no subcontract relationships and no work with other federal agencies. The vendor holds two active BPAs: a $200 thousand agreement (BPA 12444123A0006) for janitorial and lawn maintenance at Stackhouse Boat Launch and Murray Branch Picnic Area in Mars Hill, North Carolina, running through January 2028, which has generated four task orders totaling $37 thousand in combined value; and a $125 thousand agreement (BPA 12444122A0002) for janitorial and grounds maintenance at Rocky Bluff and Harmon Den recreation areas in the Appalachian Ranger District, also in Mars Hill, running through April 2027, which has generated five task orders totaling $68 thousand. Representative work includes a $13,865 firm fixed-price BPA call awarded May 26, 2026, for janitorial and grounds maintenance at Harmon Den recreation area (completion May 25, 2027); an $11,082 call awarded February 1, 2026, for janitorial services at Stackhouse Boat Launch and Murray Branch Picnic Area (completion January 31, 2027); and a $12,500 purchase order awarded November 18, 2023, for portable toilet delivery in support of a Forest Service project in Asheville, North Carolina.

Activity has been modest and inconsistent — two awards in 2022, four in 2023, two each in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Four awards totaling $49 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the entire recompete exposure. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on facilities maintenance and waste management for federal recreation infrastructure; NAICS concentration is 11 awards in Janitorial Services (NAICS 561720) and one in Septic Tank services. All performance occurs in Mars Hill, North Carolina, and the vendor has built a track record of repeat ordering from a single federal customer across multiple fiscal years, indicating consistent execution on similar maintenance contracts.
