The Department of the Interior’s Interior Business Center Acquisition Services Directorate has issued solicitation number 140D0425R0029 for Conflict Management Services under a Total Small Business Set-Aside in NAICS code 541612. This is a performance-based Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a five-year ordering period from January 17, 2026, through January 16, 2031. It is a single-award contract intended to provide comprehensive conflict management capabilities internally within DOI, including mediation, facilitation, coaching, training, and organizational development. Task orders issued under this contract may be Time-and-Materials, Labor-Hour, or Firm-Fixed Price, with labor categories defined by experience levels and associated hourly rates valid for five years plus a six-month extension. To participate, offerors must be registered in SAM, certify compliance with subcontracting limitations restricting subcontracting to no more than 50% to non-similarly situated small businesses, and submit detailed proposals including past performance information, a Safety Program, and a Fire Prevention Plan. The contract emphasizes strict compliance with safety, environmental, and operational standards, mandating a site-specific Safety Program compliant with Reclamation Safety and Health Standards prior to mobilization, designation of an Onsite Safety Representative with authority to enforce safety, and minimum personnel requirements during operations. Government oversight will involve active inspection and acceptance at the worksite, with Quality Assurance Evaluators and Contracting Officer Representatives monitoring performance against detailed technical requirements. Deliverables include facilitation of conflict resolution engagements as exemplified by sample task orders addressing common internal agency disputes. Special conditions underscore the government’s right to issue stop-work orders for safety or compliance failures without granting extensions or additional compensation. While no formal Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses with standard numbering are included, the contract integrates referenced agency-specific manuals and safety standards. The solicitation sets a submission deadline of December 22, 2025, with electronic proposals directed to the designated contracting personnel.
