Lorraine A Terrell

Lorraine A Terrell, doing business as Speedy Septic Tank, is a Native American-owned woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Chinle, Arizona that provides portable toilet rental, septic and sewer services, facilities maintenance, and digital signage to federal Indian Health Service and Bureau of Indian Affairs facilities across the Navajo Nation as a prime contractor under Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-asides and Buy Indian procurement channels. The vendor holds additional SBA designations as an Indian Economic Enterprise, Self-Certified Small Disadvantaged Business, and Minority-Owned Business, and competes exclusively under set-aside or tribal procurement carve-outs rather than full-and-open competition.

Speedy Septic Tank's capability portfolio centers on three core service lines: portable sanitation and septic maintenance (11 awards), digital billboard and electronic display rental for health promotion (11 awards), and water, sewer, and plumbing infrastructure repair (14 awards plus subordinate specialty trades). Representative prime work includes a $7,579 Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise purchase order from the Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Region for portable toilet services to Chinle Transportation (February 2026, completion February 2027); a $90,694.66 firm fixed-price delivery of a digital display electronic message center to Indian Health Service in Chinle (August 2023); a $30,888.40 Total Small Business set-aside from the Bureau of Indian Education for expedited sewer line repair (March 2022); and $7,064.90 and $7,672.28 successive Indian Health Service and BIA renewal purchase orders for portable toilet rental in Chinle (January 2025 and February 2024 awards respectively).

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. The Indian Health Service accounts for 32 of 52 awards and $506 thousand of $808 thousand combined potential value; the Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Region anchors 13 awards and $138 thousand. Together these two customer line-of-business units represent 94% of awards and 92% of dollars. All work is performed in or serves the Navajo Nation, primarily the Chinle, Arizona area and one Gallup, New Mexico location. The vendor holds no parent GWAC, IDIQ, or BPA seats and operates entirely under transactional purchase orders.

Activity has contracted sharply in recent years. The vendor received four awards each in 2022 and 2023, two in 2024, and one each in 2025 and 2026 — a decline from historical volume that sources do not explain. Only one award ($8 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, posing minimal recompete exposure. Across the portfolio, combined potential value obligated matches combined potential value ($808 thousand), indicating full invoicing on closed or near-closed awards. Speedy Septic Tank has held a SAM.gov registration since 2005 and operates as a sole proprietor with no named subcontract relationships or prime teaming partners in the source data.
