AI Contract Overview
The United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Southwest Regional Office Mescalero Agency, intends to award a sole source firm-fixed price contract to the Mescalero Gas Company, a tribally owned large business, for the delivery of 15,000 gallons of propane to three critical facilities on the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation: the BIA Law Enforcement building, the BIA Mescalero Agency building, and the OJS Mescalero Adult Detention Center. This procurement is justified under FAR 6.103-1 because the Mescalero Apache Tribe’s Resolution 19-140, enacted on November 21, 2019, designates Mescalero Gas Company as the sole and exclusive provider of propane within the reservation and legally prohibits any non-tribal propane supplier from operating on tribal land, leaving no other responsible source capable of fulfilling the requirement. The acquisition is classified under NAICS code 325120 for Industrial Gas Manufacturing with a business size standard of 1,200 employees, and the contract will be awarded without competitive solicitation due to the tribal exclusivity restriction. No solicitation documents, technical specifications, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, or evaluation factors are available, as this is strictly a notice of intent and not a competitive opportunity. Firms seeking to challenge the sole source determination must submit a capability statement and pricing information by June 17, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time, to the contracting officer, Brian Roberts, at brian.roberts@bia.gov. The contract value is not disclosed, and no details regarding delivery schedule, period of performance, or payment terms are provided.

This resolution established Mescalero Gas Company as the exclusive provider of propane on the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation.

Due to the restrictions imposed by the tribal resolution, the requirement for propane delivery will be awarded as a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 6.103-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
No solicitation is available and no technical questions will be answered for this requirement. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 325120 Industrial Gas Manufacturing, and the Business Size Standard is 1,200 employees.
