AI Contract Overview
The Bureau of Indian Education's Cheyenne Eagle Butte School plans to enter into a sole source contract with Children's Care Hospital and School in Sioux Falls, SD, for the residential placement of a student requiring specialized behavioral and mental health support. This contract, valued at approximately $417,984.05 and effective from June 16, 2026, to June 15, 2027, is governed by FAR 12.102, allowing sole source awards when only one responsible source can meet the agency’s needs. The student’s unique emotional and behavioral challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, or learning disabilities, necessitate placement in a specialized residential environment rather than a traditional school or boarding dorm, ensuring compliance with the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Given the specialized nature of the services and the limited availability of providers with the necessary expertise, no competitive solicitation will be issued. The selected provider, Children's Care Hospital and School, currently supports the student, and continuity of care is critical to avoid disruptions that could negatively impact the student's progress. The contract falls under the NAICS code 611710 for Educational Support Services and the service code Q519 for Behavioral and Mental Health. The contract is administered by the Indian Education Acquisition Office, part of the Department of the Interior, with point of contact Leah Azure. This notice clarifies that no quotes or proposals are being solicited, and voluntary information submitted by contractors will be at no cost to 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.
