AI Contract Overview
The Bureau of Indian Affairs, on behalf of the Bureau of Indian Education, plans to award a sole source Time and Material contract to AB Staffing Solutions LLC to provide Compensatory Education Advisor services at Havasupai Elementary School in Supai, Arizona. This contract is established under the authority of FAR 12.102(b) and is valued at approximately $694,320, covering a performance period from May 13, 2026, through May 12, 2029. The services are specifically tied to the requirements of the Stephen C. Remand Settlement Agreement and are considered unique due to the legal context and the necessity for continuity of service within this rural community. The nature of the services and the relationship with tribal members preclude full and open competition, necessitating the sole source approach to avoid delays that would be detrimental to the agency’s mission. Key operational aspects include that contract personnel may face challenging travel and lodging conditions due to the remote location of Havasupai Elementary School. Personnel might need to hike out of the canyon or stay overnight in the school gymnasium if helicopter transport is unavailable due to weather. The BIE will provide basic accommodations such as cots, linens, and blankets, and contractors are encouraged to bring snacks. Travel is highly weather-dependent. No solicitation is posted for competitive proposals, and no technical questions will be answered, underscoring the uniqueness of this contract. The associated NAICS code is 561320, and all coordination is managed through the Indian Education Acquisition Office based in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) is committed to provide Compensatory Education Advisor in accordance with the Stephen C. Remand Settlement Agreement, Havasupai Elementary School (HES), located in Supai, Arizona.
This is a sole source requirement. The services required are available from only one responsible source and no other type of service will satisfy the agencies need. Promoting enhanced competition will result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agencies requirement. Due to legality of the settlement agreement, Compensatory Education Advisor service is unique and is not suitable for full and open competition without the time and effort to secure contractor candidate’s continuity of services and to continue the relationship and confidence of the rural community and tribal members.
Key Considerations: Contractor must secure and fulfill the requirement, while continuing the service without disruption or delay. Contract Personnel may need to either hike out of the canyon or sleep on a cot in the HES Gymnasium if the individual is unable to fly out of Supai, AZ on the BIE’s contracted helicopter due to unforeseen weather conditions. When local lodging is not available, the BIE HES will provide a cot, sheets, pillows, and blankets for Contractor Personnel use during their visit and stay. Contract Personnel are recommended to bring in snacks to the Canyon, if possible. Travel by helicopter is dependent upon local travel conditions and weather permitting.
No solicitation is available, and no technical questions will be answered for this requirement. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 561320.
