D & R Propane, Inc.

D & R Propane, Inc., a for-profit South Dakota corporation headquartered in Eagle Butte, supplies liquefied propane gas and fuel delivery services to federal agencies and tribal facilities as a prime contractor under total small-business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of its 105 recorded awards) with no subcontract footprint, serving two principal federal customers across 22 years of activity in the source data.

D & R Propane's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Great Plains Region, which accounts for 44 awards (approximately 42% of total awards tracked) with combined potential value of $956 thousand. The Department of Health and Human Services' Indian Health Service represents the second customer with 13 awards and $92 thousand combined potential value. These two agencies together represent 54% of award count and 68% of combined potential value, reflecting a narrow customer concentration anchored to tribal-lands infrastructure and facility-support missions across the Great Plains. Recent representative work includes a $69,552 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded February 26, 2026 (small-business set-aside) for propane supply and delivery to the Cheyenne River Agency with completion scheduled for July 1, 2026; a $25,440 purchase order from Indian Health Service dated February 22, 2023; and a prior indefinite delivery contract valued at $85,698 that ran through September 2022, also with the BIA Great Plains Region for Cheyenne River Agency propane service.

D & R Propane's award activity shows a concentrated pulse pattern: minimal awards in 2018 and 2021 (one and two awards respectively), a spike to seven awards in 2022, then declining to one award each in 2023 and 2026. The vendor works under multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts issued by the BIA, including IDC 140A0122D0002 (8 task orders, $88 thousand combined potential value), IDC INA13PC00063 (6 task orders, $74 thousand), IDC INA15PC00010 (6 task orders, $48 thousand), and IDC INA16PC00007 (6 task orders, $28 thousand). The vendor's service scope is narrow and geographically rooted: all documented work involves propane fuel commodity supply (NAICS 424720, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Dealers; PSC 4140 Liquid Propellants and Fuels) to BIA and Indian Health Service facilities in Eagle Butte and the surrounding Great Plains region, with all combined potential value across 105 awards totaling $1.5 million, of which $1.3 million has been obligated.
