The Mescalero Apache Tribe (Mescalero Apache Tribal Utility Department (also referred to as Mescalero Utilities)) provides these services for the Mescalero Apache Reservation. The Mescalero Apache Tribe is the only 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.
