99--Message Board

This contract, issued as a Request for Quote under solicitation number 140A2326Q0169 by the Indian Education Acquisition Office of the Department of the Interior, is a 100% Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-aside for the replacement of a malfunctioning message board at the Cheyenne-Eagle Butte School in Eagle Butte, South Dakota. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 339950, Sign Manufacturing, and requires a Firm Fixed Price offer that includes all costs—labor, materials, taxes, TERO fees, shipping, and handling—to remove the existing board and install a new 6'6" x 12'3" 10mm digital message board with full electrical connections. The period of performance is strictly limited to July 27, 2026, through September 30, 2026, with delivery terms under FOB Destination, meaning the contractor assumes all responsibility for transport, storage, and handling until final installation. All personnel assigned to the project must be U.S. citizens, work uninterrupted without diversion to other contracts, and adhere to strict daily waste disposal protocols and secure storage requirements, as no government-provided onsite storage is available. The successful offeror must hold active SAM.gov registration with verified ISBEE status and submit the required DIAR IEE representation, along with the subcontracting limitations certification and evidence of compliance with all statutory and regulatory obligations, including Buy American provisions, OSHA, electrical, and fire safety standards, as well as the Service Contract Act wage determinations. The evaluation process prioritizes best value, considering equipment specifications, delivery lead time, contractor experience and resources, subcontracting compliance, and price reasonableness without specifying numeric weights. Award will be made without negotiations, and the government reserves the right to select a higher-priced proposal if the benefits justify the cost. Subcontracting is tightly controlled under ISBEE-specific limitations, with deviations applied to FAR clauses such as 52.219-8, 52.219-14, and 52.219-33 to ensure the prime contractor performs substantial work. All invoicing must be submitted electronically through the Treasury’s IPP system with detailed line items, taxpayer ID, and shipping data, and contractors unable to use IPP must request a waiver with their quote. Key personnel must be identified and qualified, and the contractor must ensure full compliance
