Required expertise includes trauma-informed care and culturally responsive mental-health practice for Native communities. Professional liability insurance must meet a $1M/$3M minimum, and services must comply with HIPAA and APA standards. Personnel working onsite or accessing personally identifiable information must complete background investigations and favorable suitability determinations through the BIA/BIE Personnel Security and Suitability Program and the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency.

Pricing is a fully burdened hourly rate including applicable taxes. The pricing schedule estimates 1,760 on-site hours per year, or 8,800 hours across the full period.
