The contract is structured as a firm fixed price award, with cost reimbursable CLINs for travel. The scope of work involves providing assessment services, with optional components for test item customization and interim assessments. Performance includes in-person training typically hosted in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the contract structure includes a base year followed by four potential option years.
The government will evaluate quotes based on a best-value determination, considering experience with Indigenous communities and schools, the management and technical approach, and pricing reasonableness. Strict security requirements are in place, including adherence to Zero Trust cybersecurity principles, the protection of personally identifiable information, and compliance with Federal Controlled Unclassified Information standards.

The Bureau of Indian Education intends to award a sole source Firm Fixed Price contract to the Crisis Prevention Institute for the provision of crisis prevention and behavioral intervention training. Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the project is estimated to be valued at 155,952.00 dollars with a period of performance running from September 9, 2026, to September 8, 2027. The procurement falls under NAICS code 611430 for professional and management development training.
The justification for the sole source award is based on the Crisis Prevention Institute holding the proprietary rights and exclusive ability to provide the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention with Intermediate Physical Skills Instructor Certification Program. This specific certification model is required to build internal instructional capacity across BIE operated schools and ensure a consistent curriculum. Because no other source can satisfy these proprietary requirements, competition is deemed not feasible, and no quotes or proposals will be accepted.

The contract is structured with a one-year base period and four optional one-year extension periods, with specific options for test item customization and interim assessments. Performance is nationwide across multiple time zones, and all deliverables must comply with Section 508 accessibility standards and WCAG 2.0 Level AA.
The government will award the contract based on a trade-off process, evaluating three primary factors: experience, management and technical approach, and pricing. Awardees must adhere to strict security and personnel requirements, including background investigations per HSPD-12, U.S. citizenship for key personnel, and a commitment to Indian Preference hiring. Contractors are required to manage all invoicing electronically through the Internet Payment Platform and maintain rigorous data security standards in accordance with NIST and FIPS guidelines for handling Controlled Unclassified Information and Personally Identifiable Information.

The Bureau of Indian Education intends to award a sole source Time and Materials contract to AB Staffing Solutions LLC for Compensatory Education Advisor Services at Havasupai Elementary School in Supai, Arizona, under the authority of FAR 12.102(b). The contract, with a period of performance from May 13, 2026, to May 12, 2029, has an estimated value of $694,320 and is necessary to fulfill obligations under the Stephen C. Remand Settlement Agreement. The requirement is restricted to this single vendor because the specialized services are uniquely suited to the existing relationship with the Havasupai community, and opening the requirement to competition would cause unacceptable delays and disrupt continuity of care and trust critical to the rural tribal population. The contractor must ensure seamless service delivery without interruption, and personnel may face challenging access conditions, including the need to hike out of the canyon or remain overnight in the school gymnasium if helicopter travel is grounded due to weather. When local lodging is unavailable, the school will provide a cot, sheets, pillows, and blankets, though contractors are advised to bring their own snacks. No solicitation documents are available, and no inquiries or technical questions will be entertained. The North American Industry Classification System code for this acquisition is 561320.
