Stewart Joey

Stewart Joey, doing business as Stewart Contracting, is a Mississippi-based sole proprietorship that provides road maintenance and construction services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively within a single customer agency and competes entirely under small-business set-aside vehicles, with no subcontract footprint.

Stewart Contracting holds two indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts with the Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region), both established May 27, 2024, and running through April 30, 2027. The first is a $1 million single-award Total Small Business vehicle; the second is a $2 million multiple-award Total Small Business vehicle. Both vehicles support road maintenance and construction services across the Homochitto and Delta National Forests in Mississippi's West Zone. Work scope includes mowing, surface grading, ditch and culvert cleaning, culvert removal and installation, and aggregate resurfacing on national forest system roads. Recent delivery orders exemplify the contract type and magnitude: a $447,582 firm fixed-price order issued June 1, 2026, for road repairs on National Forest System roads following Hurricane Helene damage; a $129,240 order issued July 14, 2025, for road maintenance services in Meadville, Mississippi; and a $31,234 order issued July 18, 2025, for road maintenance and construction in Rolling Fork, Mississippi. All work is performed in Mississippi locations, primarily Meadville, Bude, and Rolling Fork.

Customer concentration is absolute: all 14 awards in the source footprint are issued by the Forest Service Region 8, accounting for the entire $6 million combined potential value across the portfolio. The vendor's primary NAICS category is Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (14 awards), with PSC work split between maintenance of highways, roads, streets, bridges, and railways (8 awards) and natural resources conservation (5 awards). Activity has remained modest and stable — one or two awards annually from 2022 through 2025, with two awards in 2026 — generating $1.1 million in obligated dollars against $6 million in potential value (17% execution rate). The vendor faces a recompete cliff of two awards worth $463 thousand in combined potential value completing within the next twenty-four months. As of July 2025, the $1 million single-award IDIQ has generated three delivery orders totaling $187,352; the $2 million multiple-award vehicle supports a vendor pool that includes Cypress Construction, Eclipse Co. LLC, IPC, Syte Corporation, and others alongside Stewart Contracting.
