Purchase Order 140A2324P0143

The Bureau of Indian Education awarded a $188,187.30 firm fixed-price purchase order to MEC Services LLC, a tribally-owned, SBA 8(a) Program-certified small disadvantaged business based in New Town, North Dakota, for propane delivery to Crystal Boarding School on the Navajo Nation through January 1, 2029. The contract is set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) and represents a modification intended to ensure compliance with updated federal guidance while eliminating non-statutory sustainability requirements and enhancing representational and certification clauses. MEC Services LLC will deliver an estimated 18,000 gallons of propane annually to fill one 18,000-gallon tank on an as-needed basis, with delivery required within 30 days of order placement.

This award builds on MEC Services LLC's established track record as a key federal contractor serving Native American communities and educational institutions. The company holds multiple significant indefinite delivery vehicles with federal agencies, including a $92,200 indefinite delivery contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs Great Plains Region for propane supply and a $7.5 million blanket purchase agreement with the Bureau of Indian Education for personal protective equipment. The propane supply contract supports the Bureau of Indian Education's mission to provide quality education to Native American students, with the contractor expected to maintain adequate stock and shipping capabilities to meet the school's fuel requirements throughout the five-year performance period.
