Notch 8 LLC

Notch 8 LLC, a Native American-owned and SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business based in Waynesville, North Carolina, operates as a prime contractor delivering fuel, propane, hazardous-waste removal, and facility-support services to federal agencies serving Native American communities. The company holds Indian Economic Enterprise and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise certifications and competes heavily under Buy Indian Act set-asides and Indian small business economic enterprise designations, though recent work includes unrestricted full-and-open awards.

Notch 8's capability portfolio centers on fuel delivery — diesel, propane, and heating oil — to tribal health facilities, Bureau of Indian Affairs locations, and wildlife refuges, complemented by hazardous and medical waste removal, propane refill services, technical writing training, and facility maintenance. Representative prime work includes a $309,194 Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise purchase order (MOD#4) with the Bureau of Indian Education for diesel fuel delivery to Tohaali Community School in Newcomb, New Mexico, running through March 2030; a $149,429 Indian Economic Enterprise contract with the Indian Health Service for hazardous and medical waste removal at the Blackfeet Service Unit and Heart Butte Clinic in Montana, exercised through September 2026; a $175,276 Buy Indian purchase order with IHS for propane services in Madison Heights, Virginia, running through August 2029; and a $188,720 Indian Economic Enterprise contract with the Bureau of Indian Education for propane delivery to Tonalea Day School in Arizona through January 2029. Notch 8 also holds a $37,560 technical writing training BPA call with IHS's Office of Environmental Health and Engineering.

Customer concentration is tightly focused on tribal and Native American-serving federal agencies. The top five funding agencies account for 91 percent of awards by count, led by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Great Plains Region (14 awards, $241 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service (12 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value), followed by the Bureau of Indian Education (3 awards, $502 thousand), the BIA Western Region (2 awards, $1.1 million), and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Job Corps (1 award, $18 thousand). The two rankings diverge meaningfully — IHS dominates potential value despite fewer awards by count, reflecting larger individual contract ceilings for waste removal and propane services, while BIA Great Plains leads by award count with smaller per-order values for recurring fuel deliveries. By potential value, the top five agencies represent 96 percent of total portfolio dollars.

Notch 8 holds six active IDVs anchoring its federal footprint. An Indefinite Delivery Contract (140A0125D0001) with the BIA Great Plains Region for heating fuel oil supply and delivery carries a $64,860 ceiling through September 2025 with 8 task orders generating $42 thousand in combined potential value. A $1 million single-award BPA with the BIA Western Region for diesel and unleaded fuel delivery to Arizona locations (Parker, Poston, Coolidge) runs through August 2029 with no set-aside used. A $249,500 single-award BPA with the Indian Health Service for off-the-shelf technical writing training to OEHE extends through June 2027 and has generated a $37,560 BPA call. A $250,000 multiple-award BPA with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 for bulk fuel purchase and delivery to the Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge in Colorado runs through May 2029. A $100,000 multiple-award BPA with Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 for propane delivery to the Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge in Minnesota extends through February 2029. A second BPA with the Indian Health Service carries a $249,500 ceiling for technical writing training services with a modification to exercise option year two through June 2027.

Activity has grown sharply — one award in 2022 to 16 in 2024 — with a slight decline to 14 in 2025 and only one award year-to-date in 2026. Two awards (combined potential value $171 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure principally in fuel delivery and facility support categories. Notch 8 competes exclusively as a prime contractor; the source reports zero subcontract work.

The vendor's capability concentration reflects its market positioning. Top NAICS categories by award count are Petroleum Refineries (18 awards), Professional and Management Development Training (3 awards), Natural Gas Extraction and Distribution (2 awards each), and Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (2 awards). Top PSC codes are Gases: Compressed and Liquefied (15 awards), Fuel Oils (4 awards), Education/Training—Other (3 awards), and Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base (2 awards). The portfolio is decidedly commodity-focused, with roughly 77 percent of awards concentrated in fuel and propane delivery to federally operated and tribal facilities.
