Steens Creek Transportation LLC

Steens Creek Transportation LLC, a sole proprietorship based in Richland, Mississippi, provides transportation and cold storage services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor on small purchase orders with no set-aside designation. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes full-and-open; its four awards span January 2022 to January 2026 and total $45 thousand in combined potential value, all of which has been obligated.

The vendor's customer footprint is concentrated within the Army Corps of Engineers. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers accounts for three awards valued at $28 thousand combined, with the Engineering District Vicksburg placing one additional award for $17 thousand. Both rankings converge on the Vicksburg District as the sole operational customer. Steens Creek Transportation LLC has secured repeated purchase order work with this district for tree seedling handling and transportation — a $9,985.50 purchase order placed January 10, 2022 (ultimately completed April 15, 2022 under Total Small Business set-aside); a $10,607.50 purchase order placed December 13, 2022 (ultimately completed March 31, 2023, also under Total Small Business); a $7,730 purchase order placed January 9, 2024 (ultimately completed May 31, 2024, no set-aside); and a $17,039 purchase order placed January 8, 2026 (scheduled completion March 31, 2026, no set-aside). Each contract specifies furnishing a driver, tractor unit, and refrigerated trailer to transport tree seedlings from a designated nursery to two specified project sites in Yazoo City, Mississippi, supporting the district's forestry and reforestation operations.

Activity is sparse and episodic — two awards in 2022, one in 2024, one in 2026 — with no parent vehicles, no subcontract footprint, and no teaming relationships named in the source. This vendor is a single-customer, low-dollar specialist in cold-chain logistics for a specific regional Army Corps district operation.
