About this file
This document is a Determination to Solicit from a Single Source for the Navajo Gallup Water Supply Project (NGWSP) Further Mitigation Program (FMP) for the Pueblo of Acoma. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation, Western Colorado Area Office, intends to award a sole source contract to Rio Del Oso Anthropological Services, LLC for contractor services to manage and implement the Pueblo of Acoma's FMP.
The contract will run from 04/07/2025 to 04/06/2028, with the contractor responsible for planning, implementation, and completion of the project. The sole source justification stems from the Pueblo of Acoma's specific request to work with this particular contractor, who is the only organization the Tribe will allow on their land and has essential established contacts throughout the Pueblo. A market research search found multiple vendors in the NAICS 541720 category, but the Contracting Officer determined Rio Del Oso Anthropological Services is the most appropriate vendor due to their unique relationship and cultural expertise with the Pueblo of Acoma.
