Financial Statement Audits

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center, specifically the Bureau of Trust Funds Administration (BTFA), has issued a pre-solicitation notice seeking professional accounting and auditing services for financial statement audits of tribal and other trust funds and Individual Indian Money accounts. The procurement requires vendors with demonstrated experience conducting audits in accordance with Government Accountability Office (GAO) standards, expertise in complex trust systems and electronic data processing, and familiarity with tribal laws and regulations. The audits must comply with the Chief Financial Officers Act and Government Management Reform Act, covering approximately $8.8 billion in trust funds across seven Treasury account symbols. Contractors must provide qualified audit personnel including Audit Partners, Audit Managers, and Senior Auditors with specific experience levels, and deliverables include detailed audit planning documents, audit programs, monthly progress reports, and annual reports. The current Request for Information (RFI) and sources sought responses are due by August 4, 2025, at 5:00 pm Eastern Time, with submissions required electronically to Jason Nuckols.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and is classified under NAICS code 541211 (Offices of Certified Public Accountants). The contract structure includes a base period through December 31, 2026, with four potential option years extending the total performance period through 2031. The BTFA manages trust assets spanning 55 million surface acres and 57 million acres of subsurface mineral estates for American Indians, Indian tribes, and Alaska Natives, with operations headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The government specifically seeks to identify Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) and Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs) as potential vendors, emphasizing compliance with Buy Indian Act requirements. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the available documentation, though the scope involves auditing the substantial $8.8 billion trust fund portfolio managed by BTFA.
