Loman Drilling Inc.

Loman Drilling Inc., a small business based in Shawnee, Oklahoma, provides water well drilling, renovation, and installation services to the Indian Health Service (IHS) as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company operates entirely through single-award BPAs with IHS, delivering 100% of its federal work as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service accounts for 355 of 357 awards (93% coverage) and the full $17.1 million in combined potential value across the prime portfolio; a single Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service award rounds out the two-agency footprint. Loman Drilling has maintained a long-standing relationship with IHS since at least 2007, receiving over 75 task orders since 2019 across multiple Oklahoma field offices including Shawnee, Lawton, Clinton, Pawnee, and Okmulgee. The vendor's work is grounded in concrete infrastructure: water well drilling with complete setup, well renovation, septic tank installation, drainfield construction, aerobic systems, and lagoon system services. Representative recent awards include a $2.5 million BPA ceiling for Shawnee field office well services (awarded June 2, 2025), a $2.5 million BPA for Lawton field office services (May 1, 2025) with a $350,000 lump-sum task order call, a $350,000 task order call from the Lawton Field Office (March 9, 2026), a $150,000 task order call from the Shawnee Field Office (February 11, 2026), a $75,000 task order call from Shawnee (March 9, 2026), and dozens of smaller firm fixed-price calls ranging from approximately $6,000 to $42,000 for individual well projects across field office locations.

The vendor holds multiple active BPAs with IHS. The top five parent vehicles by task-order count are Blanket Purchase Agreement HHSI246201400039B (24 task orders, $357,000 combined potential value), Blanket Purchase Agreement HHSI246201100007B (23 task orders, $212,000), Blanket Purchase Agreement HHSI246200701126B (19 task orders, $15,000), Blanket Purchase Agreement HHSI246201300018B (18 task orders, $241,000), and Blanket Purchase Agreement HHSI246201500046B (15 task orders, $91,000). All BPAs share the same structure: single-award, firm fixed-price vehicles with ceiling values ranging from $150,000 to $2.5 million and performance periods extending to April or September 2025 or April 2030. Work is performed across Oklahoma locations.

Activity has been volatile. After 14 awards in 2022 and a peak of 30 in 2023, the vendor received 12 awards in 2024, 13 in 2025, and 6 through mid-2026, suggesting potential saturation or shifting procurement timing at IHS. The category concentration is narrow: 381 of 384 awards fall under NAICS Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction, and 303 awards carry PSC Construction Of Water Supply Facilities. Combined obligated dollars total $4.4 million against a $17.1 million potential-value ceiling, indicating substantial remaining capacity across existing BPA vehicles. This vendor's entire federal footprint is built on a single customer relationship, single contract vehicle type (BPAs), single service line (water well work), and single set-aside posture (total small business), creating deep specialization but no diversification.
