The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs (DOI-BIA) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract to IPS, Inc., an Indian Economic Enterprise and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise, to provide potable water services to various locations in Alaska. Under this BPA, IPS, Inc. has been awarded multiple individual BPA call contracts to deliver water to communities such as Chignik Lake, Chefornak, Twin Hills, Teller, Crooked Creek, Koyuk, Hooper Bay, Newtok, Koyukuk Village, Savoonga, Sleetmute, Unalakleet, and Allakaket. The total ceiling value of the BPA is $2,000,000, with individual BPA call contracts ranging from approximately $25,000 to $167,000 in firm fixed price values. These contracts are set aside for Indian Economic Enterprises and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises, supporting the DOI-BIA's mission to enhance tribal self-governance and economic development in Native American communities in Alaska.

The original solicitation was issued by the DOI-BIA seeking potable water services for the Alaska region. IPS, Inc., as the prime contractor, has demonstrated a consistent history of providing these critical water delivery services to remote Alaska Native communities under multiple BIA contracts. The BPA structure allows the agency to efficiently obtain these essential services on an as-needed basis over the contract's multi-year period of performance through March 2025.
