S--Sources Sought Notice ISBEE Landscaping Services for BIA Eastern Nevada Agency

The Bureau of Indian Affairs, Eastern Nevada Agency, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) capable of providing landscaping and lawn maintenance services on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Owyhee, Nevada. This effort is conducted under the Buy Indian Act and Department of the Interior regulations, with the solicitation exclusively reserved for ISBEE-certified vendors. The scope of work includes biweekly mowing and weed control at the Jail facility, weekly mowing, string trimming, and edging at multiple designated properties, along with fertilizing and walk edging, all performed according to detailed facility maps. The contractor must supply all labor, equipment, materials, and supplies necessary to meet performance standards, including maintaining grass at a height of three inches during summer and 2.5 inches otherwise. Work is restricted to weekdays between 5:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., excluding Federal holidays, with any off-schedule work requiring prior written approval from the Contracting Officer’s Representative, Earl Steele. The effort is structured for a one-year base period with up to five additional option years, and no pricing information is included as this is a pre-solicitation market research notice. Interested ISBEE vendors must submit a brief capability statement detailing relevant experience, qualifications, and ability to perform the services, along with a completed Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) Representation Form to self-certify eligibility under the Buy Indian Act. Submission is required via email to danielle.bitsilly@bia.gov no later than June 30, 2026. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, or pricing details are provided at this stage, as this notice serves solely to gauge industry interest and capability. Site visits are encouraged, and facility maps are available upon request. The place of performance is clearly defined across multiple locations on the reservation, including the Jail Building at 4088 Trans Station RD and adjacent properties. While the contracting office is based in Phoenix, Arizona, all work must be performed on-site in Nevada. Offerors must hold a Unique Entity ID, and false certification may result in civil or criminal penalties under federal law. No security clearances, key personnel requirements, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are specified, and no invoicing or payment instructions are detailed, as this document does not constitute a procurement action.
