Chris G Howard

Chris G Howard, doing business as Howard's Dozer Service, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Red Rock, Oklahoma, furnishes and installs septic tanks, drainfields, aerobic wastewater systems, lagoon renovations, water service lines, and related environmental health infrastructure to the Indian Health Service (IHS) as a prime contractor under total small business set-aside blanket purchase agreements. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime with no subcontractors, under NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction), and competes exclusively under small business set-asides — every recent award carries a total small business set-aside designation.

Howard's Dozer Service maintains complete customer concentration with the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, which accounts for 969 of 987 total awards (98% of award count) and $36.7 million in combined potential value across the entire portfolio. The vendor's footprint is geographically concentrated on Oklahoma, with active work across five IHS field offices: Pawnee, Lawton, Clinton, Okmulgee, and Shawnee, with ultimate completion dates extending through April 2030. Recent representative work includes a $206,000 lump-sum BPA call with the IHS Lawton Field Office for project funding (awarded March 9, 2026), a $144,130 call covering 15 aerobic wastewater system projects and three septic tank installations across multiple Oklahoma field offices (August 14, 2025), and a $50,000 BPA call for the Okmulgee Field Office (August 4, 2026). Pricing is firm fixed-price across all call orders, with individual task order ceilings historically ranging from $3,400 to $35,000.

The vendor holds multiple single-award IDIQ blanket purchase agreements with IHS, each valued between $150,000 and $2.5 million through April 30, 2030. Four newly awarded $2.5 million BPAs (dated April 29–30, 2025) cover aerobic and septic infrastructure services for the Pawnee, Lawton (two separate vehicles), and Okmulgee field offices; these supplement a portfolio of earlier-generation BPAs valued at $150,000 to $250,000. The top five parent vehicles by task order count are BPA 75H71123A00079 (28 task orders, $243 thousand potential value), BPA 75H71123A00094 (26 task orders, $228 thousand), BPA 75H71125A00054 (21 task orders, $1.3 million), BPA 75H71119A00119 (20 task orders, $111 thousand), and BPA 75H71120A00110 (20 task orders, $121 thousand). Since 2022, the IHS has placed well over one hundred task orders under these IDIQ vehicles.

Activity has trended downward year over year — 77 awards in 2022 declining to 12 in 2026 through August — reflecting the vendor's BPA-based operating model where declining task order volume offsets the structural shift from smaller, older BPAs toward larger, multi-year vehicles. The vendor faces material recompete exposure: awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of approximately $1.2 million to $1.5 million (estimated from the four-year historical task order distribution), principally the renewal or follow-on of the $150,000 to $250,000 generation of BPAs that began expiring in 2023 and are now largely transitioned to the new $2.5 million vehicles awarded in April 2025. The vendor operates as an exclusive prime to IHS with no documented subcontract relationships or engagement as a sub to other federal contractors. Across 987 awards in the portfolio, the PSC concentration is Construction of Sewage and Waste Facilities (871 awards), with a small component in Construction of Water Supply Facilities (37 awards). The vendor maintains self-certified small disadvantaged business status and has conducted business with IHS continuously since 2009, establishing a seventeen-year relationship anchored to recurring environmental health infrastructure procurement in tribal communities.
