Compliance and Tribal Coordination Support

The contract requires support services to ensure compliance with the Buy Indian Act and to manage tracking of Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) certification status for subcontractors involved in the Fish and Wildlife Integrated Initiative Program. This includes active coordination with tribal authorities to facilitate communication, verify eligibility, and maintain alignment with federal requirements specific to the Department of the Interior and Indian Health Services. The work is tied to an ISBEE set-aside, meaning all efforts must prioritize and validate participation by certified Native-owned small businesses under the designated program guidelines. The subcontract is classified under NAICS code 541618 and is intended for performance in support of the Northwest Region of the Department of the Interior. Proposals must be submitted by the response deadline of July 18, 2026, with no specified place of performance or point of contact details provided. The focus remains on administrative and regulatory support rather than direct service delivery, requiring a strong understanding of tribal engagement protocols, federal procurement rules under the Buy Indian Act, and the procedural nuances of maintaining ISBEE certification compliance across the project lifecycle.
