Lacreek Electric Association, Inc.

Lacreek Electric Association, Inc., a non-profit electric utility provider headquartered in Martin, South Dakota, delivers electric utility services to federal facilities as a prime contractor under firm fixed-price purchase orders and definitive contracts, with no set-aside designation across its federal award footprint.

Lacreek Electric Association operates as a rural electric cooperative serving tribal and federal infrastructure. The vendor has held SAM registration since 2008 and competes under full-and-open procurement, without reliance on small-business set-asides. Its primary NAICS categories are Electric Power Distribution (17 awards) and Electric Bulk Power Transmission and Control (8 awards), with 36 of 41 total awards falling under PSC code for Utilities—Electric. The organization's federal work centers almost entirely on ongoing electrical utility service provision rather than procurement of goods or capital equipment.

Lacreek Electric Association's customer base is tightly concentrated. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Great Plains Region accounts for 20 awards and $1.4 million of the vendor's $1.5 million combined potential value (88% coverage by award count, 91% by dollars). Specific contract work includes a $325 thousand firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded August 5, 2026, for electric utility service at Pine Ridge Agency with ultimate completion September 30, 2031; a $61.8 thousand purchase order from September 9, 2025, for utility electric services at Pine Ridge Agency ending September 30, 2026; and a $56.9 thousand purchase order from September 23, 2024, for electric utility services at Pine Ridge Agency with completion on September 30, 2025. The vendor also receives annual utility-service purchase orders in the $48 thousand to $62 thousand range from BIA Great Plains Region on a consistent fiscal-year cycle. Secondary customers include the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service (one award, $3 thousand) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards (four awards). Lacreek Electric Association places one task order under Blanket Purchase Agreement SMA00030048.

Activity has remained flat at two awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with one award in 2026. In addition to prime utility contracts, the vendor acts as a sub-recipient on federal grant work through the South Dakota Department of Public Safety, receiving four sub-grants since 2022 for infrastructure repair and damage recovery related to the electric grid, including awards in May 2025, October 2024, July 2023, and March 2022. Lacreek Electric Association's federal footprint is characterized by routine, recurring utility-service provisioning to tribal federal facilities in the Great Plains region rather than competitive procurement of complex services or goods.
