During the COVID-19 pandemic (2019–2022), the Navajo Nation requested and received approval to store COVID-19-related supplies, equipment, and materials at the Bureau of

Indian Affairs (BIA) Gamerco Building, Number 320. Despite multiple formal requests for removal, the stored items remain on-site. Many of these materials are now expired and are in violation of applicable safety and environmental regulations. Due to the potential risks associated with continued storage, the BIA Navajo Regional Office (NRO) conducted an inventory assessment in March 2025 to document the condition and quantity of the items. The resulting inventory, including photographic documentation, will be provided to the designated contractor for appropriate handling and disposal in accordance with federal, environmental, and safety compliance standards.

This includes any types of disinfecting stations, signage, PPE supplies, cleaning chemicals, partitions, and any related hardware installed during the pandemic-response operations.
