Purchase Order 140A2326P0005

The Bureau of Indian Education awarded a $102.4K firm fixed-price purchase order to Eleven Bravo Group, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Plantation, Florida, for grounds improvement services at Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas. The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and awarded on November 5, 2025, requires the contractor to remove an existing gravel road west of the cemetery and install new fencing along the west and north boundaries of a historic cemetery site. The project carries significant cultural and historical sensitivity considerations, as the cemetery serves as the final resting place for 103 Native American children who died during the institution's early years, with contractors required to implement strict cultural preservation protocols, including work stoppage and immediate notification procedures if cultural items or human remains are discovered during construction.

Performance under the contract is scheduled to conclude by January 16, 2026, with the mandatory 60-calendar day performance period requiring contractors to complete all work while adhering to Davis-Bacon wage determinations, Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance compliance, and comprehensive safety and quality control standards. Eleven Bravo Group, an established federal contractor with extensive experience in facility maintenance and construction services across multiple agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Army Corps of Engineers, was selected through a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation process that assessed project approach, management capabilities, schedule adherence, and quality control plans.
