Mescalero Gas Company

Mescalero Gas Company's Mescalero Gas Division, a federally recognized Indian Tribe-owned business entity, operates as a propane supplier to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor, holding a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs and delivering propane and related fuel services under full-and-open, non-set-aside procurement terms despite its tribal ownership status.

Mescalero Gas Company is headquartered at 222 Chiricahua Plaza, Mescalero, New Mexico, and is structured as a tribal government entity within the Mescalero Apache Tribe's economic infrastructure. The vendor's federal work centers on liquefied petroleum gas supply and delivery, grounded in NAICS categories including Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Bottled Gas) Dealers and Petroleum Products Merchant Wholesalers, with PSC codes aligned to compressed and liquefied gases and petroleum-base fuels. All recent federal awards are prime contracts; the vendor carries no subcontract engagement.

Customer concentration is narrow and sustained. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Albuquerque Acquisition Office accounts for 17 of 22 total awards (86% of award count) and $1.3 million of the $1.4 million combined potential value. The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service accounts for 2 awards valued at $16 thousand. The vendor serves two distinct federal agencies across the entire portfolio.

Work is organized around two indefinite delivery contracts. The primary vehicle is IDC 140A0722D0002, awarded May 3, 2022, with a $122,120 ceiling and ultimate completion date of April 30, 2027, which has generated two task orders totaling $31 thousand. A second IDC (140A0720D0001), established in 2020, carries a $204,000 ceiling and has issued $90 thousand in task orders to date, though recent delivery orders reference both vehicles. Representative work includes a $58,500 firm-fixed-price definitive contract awarded June 29, 2026, for approximately 19,500 gallons of propane annually to the BIA Mescalero Agency through June 30, 2027; a $73,125 contract with economic price adjustment awarded April 11, 2025, covering the same annual propane requirement through March 31, 2026; and a $19,883 delivery order awarded May 3, 2023, through April 30, 2024. All work is performed at the Mescalero Agency location in Mescalero, New Mexico, supporting operational requirements of the BIA facility serving the Mescalero Apache Tribe.

Activity is minimal but consistent, with one award in each of 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, following two awards in 2022. The vendor faces one recompete in the next twenty-four months (the June 30, 2027 propane contract, valued at $58,500). Dollar obligations stand at $884 thousand against $1.4 million in combined potential value. No major subcontractors are engaged.
