Juvenile Detention Education Services for OJS

The Bureau of Indian Affairs Central Office is soliciting proposals for comprehensive juvenile detention education services through their Office of Justice Services (OJS) to provide educational programs for incarcerated American Indian juveniles aged 12-18 across multiple detention facilities. The contractor will be responsible for developing and implementing academic educational programs, providing monthly reports, maintaining Individual Plans for Academic Student Success (IPASS), using approved e-learning software, conducting student assessments, ensuring compliance with special education laws, and training detention center staff. Educators must possess bachelor's degrees, teaching certifications, and relevant experience to deliver these rehabilitation-focused educational services. The government will evaluate proposals based on technical approach, past performance, and price, with technical and past performance weighted more heavily than price considerations. Questions regarding this solicitation were accepted until 2:00 PM EST on July 8, 2025, with proposals due by July 25, 2025, and must be submitted via email to Adam Lowery.

This opportunity is set aside 100% for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) under NAICS code 611710 with a small business size standard of $16.5 million, and Fast Wolf Educational Consulting Services LLC has been identified as the current incumbent contractor under contract number 140A1620P0098. The contract will be structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order with a base year running from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, followed by four one-year option periods that could extend the contract through August 31, 2030. The educational services will initially cover two juvenile detention centers: the Chief Ignacio Justice Center in Colorado and the Standing Rock Youth Detention Center in North Dakota, with the Northern Cheyenne Youth Center in Montana being added during Option Year 2. The program is designed to serve approximately 200 students across all detention facilities throughout the contract period.
