Michael Melton Contracting LLC

Michael Melton Contracting LLC, a sole proprietorship based in Columbia, Tennessee, performs federal facility renovation, repair, and construction services across civilian agencies as a prime contractor operating entirely under total small business set-asides. The vendor's 109 prime awards since 2017 span restroom rehabilitations, roof replacements, mechanical and electrical upgrades, and structural repairs at federal installations nationwide, with combined potential value of $12.5 million and 100% of dollars obligated.

The vendor's capability portfolio concentrates on specialty trades in commercial and institutional building construction. Top NAICS categories are Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (40 awards), Roofing Contractors (21 awards), All Other Specialty Trade Contractors (14 awards), and Residential Remodelers (11 awards), reflecting work scope focused on interior and exterior facility systems. Representative recent work includes a $603,245 Army Corps of Engineers contract (awarded September 2024) for interior restroom renovation at Fort Randall Powerhouse in South Dakota with ADA compliance work; a $568,540 Fish and Wildlife Service contract (September 2024) for wet lab phase-two construction at Warm Springs National Fish Hatchery in Georgia with new plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems; a $323,000 U.S. Forest Service purchase order (April 2026) for critical housing deferred maintenance at Crawford Work Center, Boise National Forest, Idaho, converting shared bedrooms to individual bedrooms and upgrading bathroom facilities; and a $302,776 National Park Service contract (July 2025) for restroom fixture replacement and ADA accessibility compliance at Nez Perce National Historical Park Visitor Center in Idaho.

Customer concentration is dispersed across 38 federal agencies with no dominant purchaser. The top five customers by award count account for 42% of awards: the Department of the Interior National Park Service Northeast Region leads with 13 awards ($1.7 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Job Corps (9 awards, $813 thousand), the National Park Service Pacific West Region (9 awards, $924 thousand), the Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region (8 awards, $395 thousand), and the Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (7 awards, $403 thousand). By potential value, the rankings shift slightly—the Northeast Region NPS still anchors the portfolio at $1.7 million, followed by the Army Corps of Engineers at $1.2 million across five awards, the Pacific West Region NPS at $924 thousand, Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 at $840 thousand, and Forest Service Job Corps at $813 thousand. NPS facilities (Northeast, Pacific West, and other regions combined) represent roughly 30% of award count and a similar share of dollars, making Interior the vendor's largest customer segment.

The vendor operates exclusively as a small business prime contractor with no parent vehicles, GWACs, IDIQs, or standing BPAs in the source. Each award is a discrete purchase order or definitive contract issued by individual federal agencies. No subcontract footprint is present—all 109 awards are direct primes with no documented sub-tier engagement.

Activity has moderated in recent years. The vendor earned 15 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, and 13 in 2024, declining to 4 awards in 2025 and 1 award through April 2026 (a shallow year-to-date slice). Only two awards with potential value totaling $626 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's award velocity and pipeline suggest a small, stable regional operator focused on Interior and USDA facility maintenance rather than growth-stage positioning.
