BIA Information Technology Equipment - Manufacturer Specific (ITEMS) IDIQ

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Information Technology Equipment - Manufacturer Specific (ITEMS) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a $60 million multiple-award contract vehicle designed to procure information technology hardware and related services for the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Indian Education. The contract, originally solicited with a focus on Dell and Hewlett Packard brand name items, enables the acquisition of laptop computers, desktop systems, monitors, printers, and peripheral equipment to support various Native American community programs across different regional offices. The IDIQ was initially set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises, providing opportunities for Native American-owned businesses to provide critical technology infrastructure to federal agencies serving indigenous communities.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently range from approximately $1,500 to $300,000, with most awards clustering between $10,000 and $100,000. The primary winning contractors include Raventek Solution Partners (a veteran-owned, minority-owned small business), Regency Consulting Inc. (a HUBZone small disadvantaged business owned by Native Americans), and Semoice Technology Inc. (an Indian Economic Enterprise). These contracts predominantly support technology refresh initiatives, educational technology procurement, and infrastructure upgrades across BIA and Bureau of Indian Education facilities in regions including Alaska, the Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and Great Plains. While the original solicitation included a set-aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises, the majority of task orders do not utilize a specific set-aside designation. Typical performance periods range from September to December of the fiscal year, with most delivery orders having completion dates within three to six months of award.
