Contracting Officer

BIA Pine Ridge Agency requires Electric (Utility) Service for reliable power for the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Bennett County, South Dakota.

Without electrical services, the Pine Ridge Agency's level of service, and quality of work would seriously impact its ability to carry out its mission and would result in serious disruption for the Federal Government.
