C--Takini School Quarters Renovation

The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Indian Education Acquisition Office is preparing to award a sole source contract for the renovation of quarters at Takini School, identified by solicitation number 140A2326R0033. The notice, posted on August 6, 2026, indicates an intent to award without competitive bidding, likely due to unique circumstances or specialized requirements only one contractor can fulfill. The work falls under NAICS code 541310, which pertains to architectural services, suggesting the project involves design and engineering oversight for structural upgrades, system modernization, or facility improvements to the school’s residential quarters. The response deadline for any inquiries or submissions is August 17, 2026, at 11:00 PM Eastern Time, and all communications must be directed to the primary point of contact, Yui Hoptowit, via email or phone provided. The contract’s performance location is currently unspecified in the public notice, but the office managing the award is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, under the Office of Indian Education Acquisition. This effort aligns with federal responsibilities to maintain safe and adequate housing for educational staff and students within Bureau of Indian Education-affiliated institutions. The absence of a set-aside designation implies the contract is not reserved for small businesses, veteran-owned firms, or other socio-economic categories, reinforcing the justification for sole source selection. Interested parties are encouraged to review the full details on SAM.gov, though substantive engagement is likely limited to the contractor uniquely qualified to meet the project’s specific demands.
