About this file
This is a Special Notice and market research request issued by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs (IA) seeking capability statements from Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs) and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) operating in specialized industries. The notice is not a formal solicitation but rather preliminary market research to determine whether qualified vendors exist for potential future procurements under the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. 47). IA is particularly interested in identifying firms operating in industries underrepresented in Buy Indian procurements, with specific focus on five NAICS sectors: Educational Support Services (611710), Trust, Fiduciary, and Custody Activities (523991), Engineering Services (541330), Food Service Contractors (722310), and All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (311999). Vendors capable of supporting operations in remote or geographically challenging locations are strongly encouraged to participate.
Interested vendors must submit capability statements via email to biaq@bia.gov on a rolling basis with no firm deadline. Submissions should include company name and SAM.gov UEI, confirmation of IEE/ISBEE status, relevant NAICS codes and core competencies, demonstrated experience in the targeted industries, geographic service coverage capabilities including remote location support, and points of contact. There is no current solicitation, contract award, or pricing structure associated with this notice. This market research is intended to establish a vendor pool to inform future procurement strategies and maximize contracting opportunities for eligible Indian-owned enterprises while promoting economic development within Indian Country.

SPECIAL NOTICE – REQUEST FOR CAPABILITY STATEMENTS
Purpose
Indian Affairs (IA) is conducting market research to identify Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs) and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) capable of supporting potential procurement needs across several specialized industries. This market research will help IA determine whether future acquisitions can be procured under the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. 47).

Background – Buy Indian Act
IA conducts market research as early as possible in the acquisition process to determine whether qualified IEEs/ISBEEs exist in the marketplace for the supplies or services required.
Under the Buy Indian Act, IA aims to:
· Maximize contracting opportunities for ISBEEs and IEEs;
· Foster competition among these firms whenever feasible; and
· Promote economic development within Indian Country.
While any qualifying IEE or ISBEE is invited to respond, IA is specifically seeking firms operating in industries less commonly represented in Buy Indian procurements.
