Purchase Order 140A0126P0004

Red Orange North America Inc. has been awarded a $3,693.64 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Great Plains Region to conduct a comprehensive 5-year inspection of the wet pipe fire suppression system at the Walter Miner Law Enforcement Center in Eagle Butte, South Dakota. The contract, awarded on November 20, 2025, with a completion date of January 5, 2026, requires the contractor to replace gaskets and air/water gauges on the facility's fire suppression system serving a corrections facility housing juvenile and adult inmates. Work must be completed within 30 days of award during standard business hours (8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday) under escort supervision due to the secure nature of the facility. The solicitation was initially set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) designees but evolved through multiple amendments to an unrestricted full and open competition with no set-aside designation, evaluated using lowest price technically acceptable criteria.

Red Orange, a Fort Washington, Pennsylvania-based for-profit contractor with extensive federal experience across the Departments of State, Defense, and Homeland Security, was required to hold a South Dakota fire suppression contractor license to be deemed technically acceptable. The awardee maintains substantial federal contract vehicles including a $22.85 billion Worldwide Expeditionary Multiple Award Contract 2.0 with Naval Supply Systems Command and various other indefinite delivery vehicles with multiple federal agencies. The work is contingent on coordination with the Cheyenne River Agency and compliance with Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe business licensing and tax requirements, with a minimum one-year warranty period specified for the inspection services.
