Richard D. Postulka

Richard D. Postulka, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Ballston Spa, New York, provides snow and ice removal, sidewalk clearing, ice melt supply, and water treatment services to the Department of the Army and Army Reserve Command as a prime contractor on delivery orders and indefinite-delivery contracts, with one subcontract engagement in facilities maintenance.

Postulka's customer base is concentrated exclusively within Army enterprise: the Department of the Army accounts for nine awards worth $1.5 million combined potential value, and the Department of the Army Reserve Command holds eight awards worth $288 thousand, representing 100% of recent award activity. A single award from the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District completes the active portfolio.

The core capability portfolio centers on winter facilities maintenance — 14 of 18 awards fall under NAICS 561720 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings) and PSC code D301 (Housekeeping — Snow Removal/Salt). Recent representative work includes a $533,449 definitive firm-fixed-price contract with the Department of the Army awarded June 13, 2025, for water treatment services at Bullville, New York through June 12, 2030; a $75,850 delivery order from December 5, 2025, for snow and ice removal at Albany and Rotterdam, New York military installations under total small business set-aside; and a $28,287 delivery order from March 13, 2026, for snow and ice removal at Sgt. Horace D. Bradt US Army Reserve Center in Schenectady, New York. Two single-award IDCs anchor Postulka's placement: a $261,005 contract awarded March 13, 2023 (total small business set-aside) for snow and ice removal at Sgt. Horace D. Bradt USARC through May 1, 2028, which has generated five task orders totaling $290 thousand in potential value, and a separate $345,375 IDC with Army Reserve Command for similar services at 99th Readiness Division facilities. A third IDC (W15QKN23D5017) carries four delivery orders worth $185 thousand combined potential value.

Activity has remained modest and relatively flat — three awards in 2021 and 2023, four in 2024, three in 2025 — across an eighteen-award prime footprint over the past five years, with only one award facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months ($76 thousand recompete exposure). Postulka competes in total small business set-aside categories on the major IDCs but accepts full-and-open delivery orders against those vehicles as well. The sole subcontract engagement is with Stampede Ventures, Inc., a prime contractor, for facilities maintenance services awarded March 5, 2024. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $1.8 million, with $902 thousand obligated (51% execution rate). Postulka's footprint reflects a regional, specialized niche in Army facilities seasonal maintenance across upstate New York installations.
