Meers Enterprises Inc.

Meers Enterprises Inc., operating its Meers Cotton Service Division under the trade name Modern Motors, is a small-business prime contractor providing specialized freight trucking services for cotton sample transportation to the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Cotton and Tobacco Program under total small-business set-asides. Based in Lubbock, Texas, Meers Enterprises is a subchapter S corporation classified under NAICS 484220 (Specialized Freight Trucking, Local) that competes exclusively under small-business set-asides and performs 100% of its work as a prime contractor with no subcontractor engagement.

Meers Enterprises' federal footprint is highly concentrated with a single customer: the USDA Cotton and Tobacco Program accounts for 96 of 135 awards (72% by count) representing $23 million of the $24.7 million combined potential value (93% of portfolio dollars). The vendor has served only two distinct funding agencies across its award history since 2008, with the Cotton and Tobacco Program representing the overwhelming bulk of activity. Recent work includes a $155,870 delivery order awarded July 1, 2026, for cotton sample sack transportation from gins to Lubbock County under a firm fixed-price structure, a $393,400 delivery order from September 15, 2025, for sample sack hauling services transporting grower cotton samples to the USDA classing office in Lubbock as Option Year II of an underlying IDC, and a $393,397 delivery order from August 30, 2024, for cotton sample hauling along the Lubbock Route 1 corridor. Place of performance is Lubbock, Texas and subordinate routes in Lamesa, Texas.

Meers Enterprises holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (AG4740C080059) valued at $4 million through June 30, 2029, awarded August 26, 2024, under which multiple delivery orders are issued. The vendor also operates under four additional IDCs of smaller scope spanning the portfolio. Across its top five parent vehicles, the vendor has issued task orders totaling roughly $2.2 million in combined potential value. Award volume has declined from four awards in 2021 to two awards in 2026, reflecting a flat to declining activity trajectory. The vendor faces minimal recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months, with only two awards (combined potential value $230 thousand) reaching ultimate completion by October 2028.

SCI-reported invoicing captured $441 thousand across FY2023 with 2.3 FTEs delivered under prime service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold; no invoicing appears in the SCI dataset for FY2024 or FY2025, suggesting that recent delivery orders under the current IDC either remain below the SCI reporting floor or have not yet reached the invoicing stage. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ranged from a 10th-percentile low of $79.62 per hour to a median of $95.89 per hour and a 90th-percentile ceiling of $99.31 per hour, consistent with motor-freight labor pricing. The vendor delivers its services entirely through company personnel with no sub-hour engagement.
