Yes very interesting. Could they be using the advertizement for the TTR job to find potential companies to contact about providing fuel sources for
Area 51. It seems like with a top secret facility that they would not advertise for a position to be filled but rather they seek out who they want for
the job. This does make me wonder how they get all of their supplies they need to make the base function into the base?

Sandia contract
Hardly earth shattering news, but you have to wonder how Groom Lake gets their fuel. The TTR can just order what it needs, but Groom has to be more clever. It is known that truck from west enter Groom Lake from the Mercury Highway. I met a truck driver that delivered LOX or nitrogen (I forget). He drove to gate 700 and then the military took the truck on to the base.
Work Contractor shall provide delivery of up to 125,000 gallons per year of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to the Tonopah Test Range (TTR), Tonopah, Nevada. Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) may order up to the total 125,000 gallons of LPG. SNL shall not be obligated to purchase the total quantity. Contractor shall deliver to 22 SNL owned LPG tanks with a total capacity of 23,500 gallons. Contractor shall provide monthly delivery and if required more frequently. Most of the tanks are located at two sites at TTR, station 3 and 9. Winter peak consumption is approximately 5000 gallons weekly. Annual consumption is approximately 125,000 gallons. Upon delivery contractor shall fill tanks with propane and insure transfer of propane is done in a safe manner. Access to TTR: The contractor shall stop at the access gate to enter TTR. The contractor will receive a visitor’s badge. In the event the contractor has to access the limited area an escort will be provided.

The big question is all that road building at Groom. Where do you get a road crew with top secret clearance! Then there is the bartender at Sam's Place. Does he wear hearing protectors? Blinders? The very routine is not so routine if you have to maintain some level of secrecy.
EG&G billing
Note the EG&G billing. Some is basic hardware store merchandise. Now in the case of EG&G, they had the clearance, so getting paid by the CIA wasn't that odd.
I have to assume Edwards or Nellis fronts a lot of the Groom Lake purchases. The TTR, not being a secret, can simply buy what the need, but they too can be fronting for Groom.
Tonopah (the town, not the base) had one hell of a Radio Shack. Actually a combination Radio Shack and Western Auto. It was the best stocked Radio Shack regarding parts that I ever saw. It turned out the TTR would pick up parts at the "shack". IIRC, the guy who ran the Radio Shack was a former base employee.
