Services include reviewing IEPs, attending onsite IEP meetings, maintaining service logs in NASIS, and ensuring compliance with federal and state educational standards. The base contract period is one year, beginning at award, with four optional one-year extensions that may be exercised unilaterally by the government, with the total contract duration not extending beyond July 31, 2029. Performance is FOB Destination, and all pricing must be all-inclusive, covering labor, supplies, travel, and applicable taxes. The contracting officer is Charmaine Williams-James of the Bureau of Indian Education, U.S. Department of the Interior, and all proposals must be submitted electronically by June 5, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. MDT to charmaine.williams-james@bie.edu in PDF format only, with no zipped files allowed. Offerors must submit two volumes: a technical proposal not exceeding 10 pages detailing capabilities and key personnel, and a Volume II containing the SF1449, amendments, DIAR 1452.280-4, and IA-IEE Representation Form. Key personnel must be U.S. citizens, pass background checks and security clearances prior to on-site work, and comply with Indian Preference hiring practices, meaning the contractor must make every effort to hire qualified Native American or Alaska Native individuals enrolled in federally recognized tribes or their direct descendants. Personnel must also be mutually agreed upon by the contractor and government, with no substitutions permitted for the first 120 days of performance except under exceptional circumstances. All staff must undergo security vetting, submit required documentation within ten days of award, and pass adjudication within a potentially 40-day government review window. Contractor personnel must check in with the school’s Special Education Coordinator, present government-issued ID, and adhere to strict PII protection protocols — no personal devices may store sensitive data, and secure networks and VPNs must be used.
