About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Albuquerque Acquisition Office has issued a Special Notice for a propane supply contract for the Mescalero Agency. The notice concerns the procurement of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to supply eleven sites on the Mescalero Apache Tribe's reservation. Mescalero Gas Company is identified as the sole source provider for this contract, having been the exclusive propane supplier in the area since 1996. The procurement is categorized under the Petroleum Refineries NAICS code and the Compressed and Liquefied Gases PSC category. The total estimated contract value is $330,225.00, with the primary purpose of ensuring heating, water heating, and employee safety for BIA facilities.
The sole source justification is based on Mescalero Gas Company being the only local LPG/propane provider, with the Mescalero Apache Tribe prohibiting other propane companies from conducting business on their reservation. The procurement is specifically set aside as an Indian Economic Enterprise opportunity, which limits competition and supports tribal economic interests. Without this propane supply, the Mescalero Agency would be forced to shut down, creating significant safety risks including potential water line freezing and health hazards. The procurement will be publicly posted on sam.gov, and the BIA will not seek additional competition for this contract. Potential contractors should note the special set-aside status and the unique geographical and tribal business constraints that make this a sole source procurement.
