Lucas Services Inc.

Lucas Services Inc., a North Carolina–based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, operates as a prime contractor providing heavy equipment procurement, vehicle-with-driver services, and forest and wildlife project support to the federal government on total small business set-aside contracts. The vendor competes exclusively under small-business set-asides and holds no sub-award history.

Lucas Services holds a highly concentrated customer footprint, with 100% of awards derived from two organizational units within the Department of Agriculture. The Forest Service R8–Southern Region dominates the portfolio (5 awards, $16 million combined potential value), anchored by a $7 million blanket purchase agreement established September 1, 2023 for wildlife and forest projects, running through August 31, 2028. The Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for the remaining 3 awards ($750 thousand combined potential value), all awarded in August 2026: two multiple-award indefinite-delivery contracts for heavy equipment in Regions 3 and 8, each capped at $250,000, and a multiple-award IDIQ vehicle-with-driver contract under the VIPR I-BPA program for the East Zone (Regions 3 and 8), also capped at $250,000, running through August 1, 2031.

Activity shows pronounced cyclicality rather than growth trajectory — two awards in both 2018 and 2019, a single award in 2023, then three awards in 2026 — with combined potential value across all eight prime awards totaling $16.7 million. The vendor's work concentrates in support activities for forestry (7 of 8 awards) under NAICS 541711, with secondary forest-range fire suppression and presuppression classifications under PSC natural resources codes. The $7 million USDA BPA represents 42% of total potential value and carries the highest recompete exposure, as its August 31, 2028 completion date falls within standard recompete windows for competitors monitoring Forest Service procurement.
