R--Geospatial Support Services for OTS-BOGS

The contract for Geospatial Support Services for the Office of Trust Services, Bureau of Indian Affairs, is a Time and Material award with a base year running from January 15, 2026, to January 14, 2027, and four option years extending performance through January 14, 2031. The services are to be performed primarily at the OTS BOGS facility in Lakewood, Colorado, with telework permitted to the maximum extent practicable. Key labor categories include GIS Analyst II, Geospatial Data Administrator, Geospatial Architecture Specialist, and GIS Analyst IV, with each option year requiring 1,920 labor hours per category. Annual travel costs are capped at $5,000. The contract is governed by a detailed Statement of Work requiring support for geospatial database management, GIS programming, integration with federal systems like TAAMS and NSDI, adherence to FGDC metadata standards, and compliance with federal security policies including FISSA training. Invoices must be submitted exclusively through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, and contractors are prohibited from using covered telecommunications equipment or applications from designated foreign entities such as ByteDance. The contract includes stringent clauses on business ethics, whistleblower protections, small business subcontractor payments, and federal supply chain security. The solicitation is set aside for Indian Economic Enterprises, with specific subcontracting limitations applicable, and requires offerors to submit a four-volume proposal electronically by the deadline of December 16, 2026, via email to the contracting officer. Volume I must not exceed 20 pages and must detail technical approach and personnel qualifications; Volume II must include a complete price quote; Volume III requires an IEE Certification; and Volume IV must contain signed forms and past performance references. Evaluation is based on a best-value trade-off approach where Technical Capabilities and Management Approach is the most critical factor, followed by Past Performance, with Price being the least weighted. No contract value is finalized due to unpopulated pricing data in the line items, though the total ceiling across all years is estimated under a not-to-exceed framework. Compliance with FAR and DOI-specific clauses ensures alignment with federal procurement standards, including service reporting, ethical conduct, and cybersecurity requirements, while the absence of marked packaging, preservation, or barcoding specifications indicates no physical logistics requirements beyond digital deliverables and electronic invoicing.
