Pryor, Carol

Pryor, Carol is a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Okawville, Illinois, providing gate attendant and park attendant services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint, delivering security and access control staffing at federal water infrastructure facilities. All awards are concentrated with a single customer: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers and its Engineering District St. Louis division, which account for 100% of awards and combined potential value.

Pryor, Carol's entire federal footprint consists of gate and park attendant services at Carlyle Lake facilities in Carlyle, Illinois. The vendor holds a single-award BPA valued at $100,000 with USACE, awarded March 3, 2022 and running through March 4, 2027, that anchors the entire contract portfolio. Against this BPA, USACE has issued seven task orders between September 2022 and April 2026, ranging from $4,120 to $9,910 per call, with cumulative obligations exceeding $182,000 against the $100,000 ceiling as of the source date. Representative task orders include a $9,910 total small business set-aside BPA call for weekend gate attendant services at Carlyle Dam West with completion targeted for September 30, 2026; a $9,910 call for park attendant services at Carlyle Lake with ultimate completion on November 2, 2025; and a $4,900 firm fixed-price call for gate attendant services at Dam West issued on August 1, 2024 and completed November 3, 2024. Work spans monitoring entry points, managing gate operations, and ensuring facility security across the dam and lake facility complex.

Activity is minimal and declining: one award in 2026, one in 2025, two in 2024, one in 2023, and three in 2022. Only one award (combined potential value $10,000) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore faces recompete. Combined potential value across all twelve awards is $297,000, with $182,000 obligated, reflecting the small-dollar, recurring nature of gate attendant staffing services. The vendor's capability footprint, per NAICS concentration, centers on recreational vehicle parks and campgrounds and facilities support services — a narrow but stable niche in federal facilities operations limited to a single customer relationship.
