Pamela Maskel

Pamela Maskel is a sole proprietor operating as a for-profit small business providing gate attendant services at federal recreation facilities under Total Small Business set-aside BPA calls issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. All four recent awards are prime contracts — no subcontract activity — centered on a single customer: the Army Corps of Engineers' Engineering District St. Louis, which operates Lake Shelbyville in Illinois.

Maskel holds a position on the Gate Attendant Services BPA awarded by the Army Corps of Engineers on January 10, 2024, with a $200,000 ceiling running through March 31, 2028. The scope covers collecting user fees, registering campers, managing campsite reservations, providing visitor information, and controlling access to campgrounds at Lake Shelbyville, Shelbyville and Fairmount, Illinois. Work is firm fixed price and subject to prevailing wage determinations. Across the BPA's life, Maskel has received three task orders: $6,498 (April 1, 2024, ultimate completion October 31, 2024); $6,426 (March 14, 2025, ultimate completion October 31, 2025); and $6,183 (April 1, 2026, ultimate completion October 31, 2026). The combined potential value across all four awards (the BPA plus three calls) is $219 thousand, though only $19 thousand has been obligated to date — representing 9% utilization of the ceiling.

Activity is steady but minimal in scale: one to two awards per year since 2024. The vendor faces one recompete opportunity within the next twenty-four months (the October 31, 2026 call, valued at $6,183). Maskel's entire federal footprint is seasonal gate-attendant work at a single location under a single contract vehicle, with no diversification across agencies, geographies, or service lines.
