Crow Creek Detention Center HISTORIC AMERICAN BUIL

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Great Plains Region is soliciting proposals for a Level II Historic American Building Survey (HABS) of the Crow Creek Detention Center Building 125 located in Fort Thompson, South Dakota. This specialized environmental consulting service requires comprehensive documentation of the 10,988 square foot building constructed in 1961, including archival research, oral history collection, physical inventory with tribal monitors, and preparation of a detailed report assessing the building's eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. The contractor must coordinate with multiple stakeholders including the BIA Facilities Department, Crow Creek Sioux Tribe Tribal Historic Preservation Office, and Office of Justice Services throughout the documentation process. The solicitation (140A0925Q0053) was issued on September 13, 2025, with a tight submission deadline of September 17, 2025 at 1500 Mountain Time. Proposals must include a signed SF-1449 form, itemized cost breakdown, and Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form submitted to Lynelle Benallie at the BIA Navajo Contracting Office.

This procurement is 100% set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) under the Buy Indian Act, with a NAICS code of 541620 and size standard of $19 million. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price purchase order with a performance period from September 29, 2025 to January 9, 2026, providing a 120-day service timeline. The work involves a phased payment structure with compensation distributed at 30% for kick-off and initial research, 10% for fieldwork, 30% for reporting, and 30% for final documentation delivery. The project specifically requires employment of two tribal representative monitors during the physical inventory phase and mandates that all collected materials become property of both the BIA Facilities Department and the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe. Performance will take place primarily at the Fort Thompson, South Dakota facility, with the final HABS report subject to review and determination by the BIA Division of Environmental, Cultural Resource Management.
