About this file
This document contains questions and answers related to a solicitation seeking services to develop an internal and external web portal solution. The portal, known as the Gateway, will serve as the main digital records interface for the Bureau of Trust Funds Administration's American Indian Records Repository. Key details include that the solicitation is set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise and Indian Economic Enterprise businesses. The contractor will develop the Gateway to function as a digital research and distribution center for tribal records and general records. The Gateway must replace existing commercial platforms and address changes due to COVID-19. The contractor's performance will occur at its site within the United States. Resumes for key personnel will not count against the page limit, and the government has indicated a targeted technology stack.
