Clearwater Drilling

Clearwater Drilling, a veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Choctaw, Oklahoma, provides water well drilling, construction, renovation, and complete well setup services to the Indian Health Service as a prime contractor exclusively — all 152 recent awards are single-award BPAs and task orders under those vehicles, with zero subcontract exposure. The firm is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and operates as a sole proprietorship, competing entirely under total small business set-asides across its federal footprint.

Clearwater Drilling's customer concentration is absolute: the Indian Health Service accounts for 100% of recent awards and 100% of combined potential value ($13 million). The work is geographically dispersed across Oklahoma field offices — Clinton, Lawton, Pawnee, Shawnee, Okmulgee, and others — but operationally monolithic: water well drilling with complete setup, test borings, well renovation, aerobic systems installation, septic tank services, and drainfield and lagoon development to support healthcare delivery to American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Representative recent task orders include a $30,000 firm fixed-price call (April 2026) for water well drilling at Clinton Field Office under BPA 75H71125A00058, a $180,000 Lawton Field Office call (August 2025) for aerobic systems and septic tanks under the same vehicle, and a $90,000 Clinton Field Office call (August 2025) for complete well setup and lagoon systems.

The vendor holds a deep bench of single-award BPAs with IHS. The five highest-volume vehicles are BPA 75H71122A00096 (13 task orders, $203 thousand combined potential value), BPA 75H71119A00026 (11 task orders, $98 thousand), BPA 75H71123A00042 (11 task orders, $236 thousand), BPA HHSI246201500163B (10 task orders, $16 thousand), and BPA HHSI246201800025B (10 task orders, $56 thousand). Newer master agreements, awarded in May and June 2025, carry significantly higher ceilings: one $2.5 million single-award BPA for the Lawton OEH Field Office and another $2.5 million BPA for the Shawnee OEH Field Office, both running through April 2030. These represent the vendor's primary growth vehicle going forward.

Award activity has declined sharply: 18 awards in 2022, 20 in 2023, 7 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 1 through April 2026. The combined potential value across the portfolio stands at $13 million, with only $1.3 million obligated to date — a 10% obligation rate characteristic of BPA vehicles where task orders are issued against high ceilings on an as-needed basis. Clearwater Drilling's work is classified entirely under NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction) and PSC 1640 (Construction of Water Supply Facilities), with three awards under PSC 1670 (Construction of Sewage and Waste Facilities).
