Traditional Native Healing and Cultural Programming

The contract titled Traditional Native Healing and Cultural Programming seeks to provide culturally specific healing services integrated into holistic youth behavioral health treatment, with a focus on Traditional Native practices such as Medicine Wheel teachings and sweat lodge ceremonies. These services are designed to support the emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being of Indigenous youth through culturally grounded methodologies that honor ancestral knowledge and community-based healing traditions. The work is to be performed in Portland, Oregon, under a subcontract arrangement, with the Indian Health Service within the Department of Health and Human Services as the oversight agency, and the North American Industry Classification System code 624190 applies to this non-medical facility-based service provision. The solicitation was posted on July 22, 2026, with responses due by July 28, 2026, at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, indicating a tight turn-around for qualified providers to submit proposals. While no set-aside status is designated, the emphasis on Native cultural practices and the involvement of the Indian Health Service strongly imply a preference for Indigenous-led or Native-owned organizations with demonstrated experience in culturally relevant behavioral health programming. The absence of a point of contact or detailed address suggests that all communications and submissions will be managed through the official SAM.gov portal, where the full solicitation can be accessed via the provided link.
