Moreau Grand Electric Cooperative Inc.

Moreau Grand Electric Cooperative Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit electrical services cooperative based in Timber Lake, South Dakota, supplies electric utility services to federal facilities on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation as a prime contractor on full-and-open (non-set-aside) purchase orders and definitive contracts with the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Indian Education. The cooperative competes exclusively in the commercial market without SBA set-aside designations.

The vendor's footprint is hyperconcentrated on a single customer and region. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Great Plains Region accounts for 26 of 39 recent visible awards and $4 million of the $5.1 million combined potential value — 98% of the portfolio. Work performed includes firm fixed-price electrical utility service delivery contracts for the Cheyenne River Agency (the BIA field facility serving the reservation), recurring annual purchase orders ranging from $82 thousand to $102 thousand per year, and discrete infrastructure projects such as the $39.7 thousand Light Pole Replacement Project at Cheyenne River Agency (awarded March 10, 2026, completion May 31, 2026). The Bureau of Indian Education's Cheyenne Eagle-Butte School (a K-12 facility on the reservation) was awarded a $417.7 thousand purchase order on April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2029. A $690 thousand definitive contract for electric utility service at Cheyenne River Agency, also awarded April 1, 2026, extends through March 31, 2031 and represents the largest recent commitment.

Category concentration reinforces the narrow scope: 35 of 47 awards fall under NAICS Electric Power Distribution, and 39 under PSC Utilities-Electric. Award volume has remained sparse in recent years — one award in 2024, one in 2025, three in 2026 — though the cooperative maintains a registration history in SAM dating to 2003 and shows 47 total awards over the source period. The vendor reported $6.8 million in combined dollars obligated, exceeding the $5.1 million potential-value ceiling by 32 percent, indicating invoiced work over potential caps. A sub-grant award from the South Dakota Department of Public Safety (federal grant pass-through) in June 2023 for utility repair represents the sole recorded sub-recipient activity. The cooperative's federal customer base extends to the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but these account for under 2 percent of activity. Place of performance is concentrated in Eagle Butte and Timber Lake, South Dakota, with all material work tied to Cheyenne River Agency and its subordinate facilities.
