AI Contract Overview
The Bureau of Indian Education, through the Cheyenne Eagle Butte School, is entering into a sole source contract with Children's Care Hospital and School in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to provide residential behavioral and mental health services for a student whose needs cannot be met within a traditional school or boarding environment. The contract, covering the period from June 16, 2026, to June 15, 2027, has an estimated total value of $417,984.05 and is authorized under FAR 12.102 due to the unique and specialized nature of the services required. The student has significant emotional, behavioral, and trauma-related challenges, including anxiety, depression, and learning disabilities, necessitating a highly specialized therapeutic and educational setting that only this vendor provides. Continued placement at this facility is critical to comply with the Individual with Disabilities Education Act, as alternative placements would fail to meet the student's individualized education plan. This action is not a solicitation for bids or proposals, and no competitive process will be conducted because no other entity offers the specific level of care and expertise required. The selection is based on the vendor’s proven capability and the absence of viable alternatives, with no expectation of cost savings from competition. Service is classified under NAICS code 611710 for Educational Support Services and the Q519 Service Code for Behavioral and Mental Health. The contract is managed by the Indian Education Acquisition Office under the Department of the Interior, with Leah Azure as the point of contact. Any responses to this notice are voluntary and will not be considered as offers or proposals by the government.

Full Description
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE
The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), Cheyenne Eagle Butte School, intends to enter into a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 12.102, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
Select Vendor:
Children's Care Hospital and School (UEI: EFPDXK99EBK7)
2501 W 26TH ST
Sioux Falls, SD 57105
Period of Performance: 06/16/2026 ¿ 06/15/2027
Estimate Grand Total: $417,984.05
The BIE has identified a need for residential placement of a student. Residential setting rather than a traditional school and boarding dorm environment is imperative for addressing specific needs that cannot be adequately met by BIE in a standard educational framework. The alternative placement was determined based on several key factors. The child struggles with significant emotional or behavioral issues that hinder their ability to thrive in a conventional school setting. These challenges stem from conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma history, or learning disabilities, which require specialized support not available in regular schools. The student currently attends the select facility for education support services. This request supports the continuation of services in alignment with the student's IEP. Failure to provide this specialized service will place BIE in violation of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Due to the specialized nature of this requirement a competitive solicitation will not be issued. The select school is highly specialized and a limited resource for special needs students. The government does not expect substantial cost reductions to result from increased competition; however, processing delays and service disruptions may occur, potentially placing current student progress at risk. Technical questions will not be answered for this requirement being this is not a request for quote nor proposal and the government is not accepting quotes nor proposals in response to this notice. Any contractor information provided in response to this notice is strictly voluntary and shall be at no cost to the government.
