Lorraine A Terrell

Lorraine A Terrell, doing business as Speedy Septic Tank, is a Native American-owned, woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Chinle, Arizona, that provides facilities maintenance and infrastructure services to federal agencies serving tribal communities, operating exclusively as a prime contractor on Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise set-asides and full-and-open purchase orders. The vendor holds Indian Economic Enterprise, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise, Minority Owned Business, Self-Certified Small Disadvantaged Business, and Woman Owned Small Business certifications and has been registered in SAM.gov since 2005.

Speedy Septic Tank's capability portfolio centers on portable toilet rental and sewer line services, digital billboard and outdoor electronic message center installation and rental for health promotion, fire hydrant replacement, and related infrastructure maintenance. Representative work includes a $89,040 sewer line pumping services purchase order from the Indian Health Service Navajo Region for Chinle Agency Building Quarters (awarded September 24, 2026, completion December 31, 2026), a $90,694.66 digital display galaxy outdoor electronic message center delivery to IHS Chinle (awarded August 30, 2023), a $30,888.40 expedited sewer pipe repair contract from the Bureau of Indian Education (awarded March 28, 2022, Total Small Business set-aside), and recurring portable toilet rental contracts with the Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Region ranging from $7,579 to $8,040.

The vendor's customer base concentrates sharply on two Indian Affairs bureaus within the Department of the Interior and the Indian Health Service within the Department of Health and Human Services, which together account for 94% of all awards. The Indian Health Service dominates by volume and dollars, placing 32 awards for $506 thousand combined potential value; the Bureau of Indian Affairs Navajo Region follows with 14 awards for $227 thousand. Work is performed exclusively in the Chinle, Arizona area supporting Navajo Nation facilities and infrastructure. The vendor operates entirely on small-value purchase orders, with individual awards ranging from approximately $7,500 to $90,700; combined potential value across all 53 prime awards totals $897 thousand, and 100% of that value has been obligated (no outstanding unexercised ceiling). Activity has declined in recent years — four awards in 2022, declining to one award in 2025 and two in 2026 — with only two awards (combined potential value $97 thousand) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor does not subcontract and has never held a federal contract vehicle, IDIQ, BPA, or GWAC seat.
