About the company
Gila River Indian Community Utility Authority, doing business as Gricua, provides monthly electric service to federal facilities on tribal lands as a tribally owned utility authority operating under its parent organization, the Gila River Indian Community, a federally recognized Indian tribe based in Sacaton, Arizona. Gricua operates exclusively as a prime contractor — all eight awards in the source data are prime, with no subcontract footprint — and competes without set-aside designation, reflecting its status as a tribally owned enterprise eligible for federal contracting as a community development corporation and American Indian-owned firm.
Gricua's federal customer base concentrates almost entirely with the Indian Health Service, which accounts for six of eight awards and $921 thousand of the combined $930 thousand potential value. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Western Region and the Corporation for National and Community Service round out the customer set, each with one award. Work is confined to electric service delivery on tribal lands. Representative prime awards include a $301 thousand definitive contract with IHS for monthly electric service to the Desert Visions Youth Wellness Center in Sacaton, Arizona (awarded November 2021, running through September 2026), a $266.7 thousand purchase order with IHS for the same facility (awarded October 2026, running through September 2031), and a $10.9 thousand purchase order with IHS for Desert Visions Youth Wellness electric service (awarded December 2021, completed December 2021). All work involves firm fixed-price electric utility service in accordance with local, state, and federal standards.
Award velocity is sparse — one award in 2020, two in 2021, then a gap until the October 2026 purchase order — with combined dollars obligated ($1.6 million) exceeding combined potential value ($930 thousand) by 75%, indicating contract modifications or final payments beyond initial ceiling. Gricua's NAICS footprint is concentrated in electric power distribution (six awards) with minor sewage treatment exposure, mirroring its operational focus as a tribally operated utility serving federal health facilities in the Gila River Indian Community.
