R--Geospatial Support Services for OTS-BOGS

The contract, issued by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) under the Department of the Interior, solicits proposals for Geospatial Support Services specifically for the Office of Trust Services, Division of Resource Integration and Services (OTS-DRIS). This is a Time and Materials (T&M) contract aimed at providing GIS and IT systems modernization support over a five-year period starting January 15, 2026, with a base year and up to four option years. The services include geospatial database management, GIS programming, scripting, data integration and security, and system support adhering to federal geospatial standards such as FGDC metadata and BLM’s PLSS CAD NSDI GCDB standards. The contract supports tribal and federal land management programs through technology enhancements leveraging ESRI ArcGIS and other IT platforms. Performance is centered in the Denver Metro area with telework permitted. This procurement is a 100% Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-aside, requiring offerors to self-certify socioeconomic status. The evaluation is based primarily on technical capability and management approach, with past performance also considered, and price as a less significant but still critical factor in award decisions under a Best Value trade-off process. Key personnel qualifications and documentation are required. The contract includes strict compliance with Indian Affairs security policies, background checks, and federal acquisition regulations. Deliverables include updated geospatial datasets integrated with federal systems such as TAAMS, detailed technical reports, project scheduling tools (Gantt/PERT/CPM charts), briefing materials, and meeting minutes. Invoicing is processed electronically through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). The solicitation includes standard FAR and DIAR clauses, specific Indian economic enterprise subcontracting limitations, and conditions addressing ethics and whistleblower protections. Contract options require a 90-day advance written notice with performance assessment, and failure to provide this may affect contractor evaluation and option exercise likelihood. The contracting office is located in Reston, VA, with a primary point of contact identified for questions and submissions.
