Family and child Education (FACE) Educational Supp

The Bureau of Indian Education, under the Department of the Interior, is soliciting proposals for Family and Child Education (FACE) Educational Support Services, a comprehensive data systems support contract. The procurement seeks a contractor to design, develop, and maintain a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that supports data collection, management, analytics, and reporting across more than 50 FACE sites nationwide, including Prekindergarten, Adult Education, and Family Enrichment programs. Key requirements include hosting the system within a FedRAMP-authorized environment with compliance to federal IT security standards (FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST, and Section 508), integrating existing platforms such as Power BI, SharePoint, and FormAssembly, and providing comprehensive technical assistance and helpdesk support. Proposals must demonstrate significant technical capability and past performance in similar data systems work, with these factors weighted substantially more heavily than pricing in the evaluation criteria. The proposal submission deadline is October 29, 2025, at 4:00 PM Central Time, with an anticipated award date between November 10–14, 2025.

This solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 611710 (Educational Support Services), with a size standard of $24 million. The current incumbent contractor is LSG Educational Services LLC. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement with a base year running from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, and four optional years extending through December 31, 2030, totaling a five-year potential contract value of $225,000 with $45,000 allocated annually for travel expenses. The contractor must provide five key positions including a Program Manager, Senior Data Systems Engineer, Data Analyst/Evaluation Specialist, Technical Assistance Specialist, and Compliance & Documentation Coordinator. Performance will be evaluated against 24 detailed task and deliverable standards outlined in the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan, with most requirements mandating 95–100% compliance levels. The work will be performed across approximately 55 active FACE sites nationwide, with potential for expansion to include new program sites.
