IE056 havasupai quarters AC unit replace

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Education is issuing a Source Sought announcement to identify potential contractors for HVAC installation and related work at Havasupai Quarters in Supai, Arizona. The procurement involves removing and replacing a 15-ton air conditioning system, including the outdoor condensing unit and indoor blower unit, along with replacement of two additional HVAC units and concrete slabs, with possible tree removal in the surrounding area. All contractors must provide complete labor, supervision, tools, transportation, equipment, and materials necessary for project completion, including detailed cost estimates, work plans, work schedules, and abatement and disposal plans for hazardous building materials. The contract will be awarded as a single firm-fixed price contract under NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with evaluation and preference determinations made in accordance with the Buy Indian Act, which prioritizes Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs), followed by Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs), then Small Businesses (SBs). Interested parties must submit their capability statements, including business name, contact information, SAM Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), tax identification number, business qualification category, and general contracting license, by the deadline of March 26, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time.

This announcement utilizes no set-aside designation at this stage; the set-aside category will be determined based on the quality and number of responses received from ISBEE, IEE, and SB sources. No incumbent contractor or current contract information is identified in this Source Sought notice, as this is preliminary market research to assess contractor availability and capability. The announcement does not specify a contract value or budget range, nor does it provide a detailed timeline for service completion; such information will likely be included in the subsequent formal solicitation. Prospective contractors must be actively registered in the Systems for Award Management (SAM) at the time of offer submission and should contact Mary Jane Johnson at maryjane.johnson@bie.edu or 505-803-4259 for additional information. No reimbursement will be provided for any costs associated with responding to this Source Sought announcement, and submission of information by respondents is strictly voluntary.
