I couldn't force it on united's website as a roundtrip either. I can go out and back on two diff itineraries which seems way too risky for a MR... not to mention more expensive

ELP airport hotels are really cheap so it's a good location to use a BRG or create a mattress run.
The airport is open 24 hours but I think the secure area is closed during the night. I can't comment on how friendly security is since I usually get a hotel in ELP.
Try going to Kayak and clicking through to United's site. That will usually work. Or call UA if ITA shows the space.

Some availably
There are quite a few days in May/June with $89 for the outbound, but unfortunately the days with $87 back are a few days later, so unless you are going to do a mattress run or can find another MR out of ELP I don't think it's too economical.
Just looked at ELP-PHX, and there is a day or two in June where it is $214 for ELP-IAH-SFO-PHX-LAX-IAH-ELP, so it's ~5,500PQMs, 3.6cpm, not great, but not too bad (at least by my mid-con flyer standards).
