The contract solicitation 140A2326Q0137 issued by the Indian Education Acquisition Office under the Department of the Interior seeks to procure a firm fixed price replacement for a convection oven at Isleta Elementary School, Albuquerque, NM. This procurement is set aside exclusively for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) as defined under NAICS code 333241, with an expected delivery performance period of 90 days following award, targeted between July 1 and September 30, 2026. The awarded contractor is responsible for FOB destination delivery to the specified school location.

The contract incorporates numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses addressing compliance, labor standards, ethics, supply chain security, and reporting duties. Key inclusions are restrictions on subcontractor sales, whistleblower protections, prohibitions on foreign-developed technologies (e.g., telecommunications and surveillance equipment), minimum wage and paid sick leave requirements, and mandates for electronic invoicing via the Internet Payment Platform (IPP). Inspection and acceptance are to occur upon delivery at the Isleta Elementary School, with the government assuming responsibility for acceptance through its Contracting Officer’s Representative. Offerors must meet representations and certifications related to size, socioeconomic status, and business ethics, though no such data is pre-populated in the solicitation. Submission requirements emphasize electronic proposals in PDF format by June 5, 2026, directed to the contracting officer’s email. While the solicitation outlines administrative and compliance obligations extensively, detailed technical specifications and pricing data are contained within referenced attachments not provided, leaving exact equipment specifications and contract value undetermined from the available documentation.
