Payton Plant

Payton Plant, operating as Plant's Windmill And Pump Repair through its Windmill And Pump Repair Division in Arizona, is a woman-owned, American Indian-owned sole proprietorship that supplies windmill parts, repair services, and preventive maintenance to the Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Region as a prime contractor under 100% Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-asides. The vendor competes exclusively within the Buy Indian Act framework and holds no seat on government-wide vehicles or multiple-award contracts.

The vendor's entire customer base consists of a single agency — the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Region — across six purchase orders totaling $854 thousand in combined potential value since July 2023. Work centers on windmill repair and parts supply for the Navajo Partitioned Lands across three geographic focus areas: Concho, Pinon, and Chinle, Arizona. Representative awards include a $233.7 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order (September 2, 2025, extending through May 29, 2026) for preventive maintenance and repair of 41 windmills serving livestock, wildlife, and community water needs across approximately 924,000 acres in three Navajo Chapters (Tolani Lake, Teesto, and Hardrock); a $176.6 thousand purchase order (August 25, 2026, completing October 31, 2026) for 24 line items of windmill parts and assemblies including 16-foot and 14-foot windmill models, motors, wheel assemblies, sucker rods, leather cups, cylinders, and valves; and a $148.4 thousand purchase order (August 28, 2024, completing May 31, 2025) for preventive maintenance of 38 windmills in Pinon, Arizona. Additional purchase orders spanning July 2023 through December 2024 supplied NPL windmill parts and materials to BIA Chinle Agency ($54.6 thousand and $71.9 thousand respectively) and provided preventive maintenance services ($163.8 thousand).

Award volume has remained modest and flat — two awards per year in 2023 and 2024, one in 2025, one in 2026 — with one award of $176.6 thousand completing within the next twenty-four months and facing recompete. Work is classified under NAICS 333111 (Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC J088 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment–Live Animals). All contracts are firm fixed-price purchase orders with 100% performance by Payton Plant; the vendor does not subcontract and carries no sub-award activity. The vendor supplies labor, materials, equipment, and transportation, with the government furnishing windmill parts and site-specific guidance on equipment access.
