MEC Services LLC

MEC Services LLC, a tribally-owned and SBA 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business based in New Town, North Dakota, operates as a prime contractor (100% of awards) supplying propane, fuel, personal protective equipment, IT hardware, and facility goods to federal agencies serving Native American communities. The company competes predominantly under Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-asides and the Buy Indian Act; nearly all prime awards carry ISBEE or related tribal-preference designations.

MEC Services' customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs and its subordinate bureaus. The BIA Bureau of Indian Education leads by award count (26 awards, $10.7 million combined potential value), but the BIA Central Office dominates dollar share with 8 awards valued at $82.9 million combined — driven by a single $75 million Indefinite Delivery Contract for Dell IT equipment awarded January 30, 2026, with a five-year ordering ceiling through January 31, 2031. The BIA Great Plains Region follows with 9 awards ($372 thousand), the Indian Health Service with 5 awards ($1.2 million), and the Air Force's Air Combat Command with 2 awards ($350 thousand). These five customers account for 96% of the source award population and represent essentially all combined potential value.

The capability portfolio centers on propane and diesel fuel delivery to tribal facilities and Bureau of Indian Education schools, supplemented by PPE procurement, IT hardware distribution, and facility supplies. Representative work includes a $226.5 million five-year propane contract with BIE for Keams Canyon Elementary School in Arizona (base through January 2025, four one-year options through May 2029); a $203.7 million BIE propane contract for JFK Day School in Arizona (base through April 2024, four one-year options through March 2029); a $618.9 thousand BIE diesel fuel contract for T'iis Nazbas Community School in Arizona (December 2023 award, completion December 31, 2028); a $92.2 thousand BIA propane IDC for the Standing Rock Agency in North Dakota (September 2024 award, generated multiple delivery orders between $2.8 thousand and $38.9 thousand through February 2026); and a $7.5 million single-award BPA with BIE for personal protective equipment (April 2022 award, ordering through April 2027). The company also holds a $7.5 million BPA with the BIA Central Office for COVID-19 test kits (March 2022 award, expired April 2025) and a $120 thousand BPA with the National Park Service Midwest Region for propane delivery to Theodore Roosevelt National Park (January 2025 award through January 2030).

Activity contracted sharply after 2022, declining from 16 awards that year to 6 in 2023, rebounding slightly to 11 in 2024 and 9 in 2025, then dropping to 3 awards in 2026 (as of mid-June). Over the next twenty-four months, only 3 awards ($201 thousand combined potential value) face ultimate completion and recompete exposure — a minimal cliff relative to the $95.6 million combined potential value across the portfolio. However, the source notes that $3.6 million (4% of combined potential value) has been obligated to date, indicating the bulk of the award ceilings remain undrawn.

MEC Services holds no subcontract relationships in the source data; all 52 awards are prime contracts or IDVs. The vendor's award footprint is exclusively tribal-set-aside work with interior agencies, reflecting its core market position as a certified Indian Economic Enterprise supplier. The top NAICS categories are petroleum refineries (17 awards), surgical appliance manufacturing (5 awards, reflecting PPE and medical supply orders), natural gas distribution (4 awards), and metal container manufacturing (3 awards). PSC coding centers on compressed and liquefied gases (14 awards), medical and surgical supplies (4 awards), and IT and workspace support (3 awards). The recent $75 million Dell IT equipment IDIQ awarded to Central Office represents a material diversification away from fuel and represents the only significant multi-year ordering vehicle beyond the expiring PPE and test kit BPAs, signaling a modest expansion into IT procurement for BIA operations.

MEC Services LLC is a tribally-owned, SBA-certified 8(a) company and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise specializing in procurement services for the Department of Defense, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Indian Health Service.
