Native American Student Information System Recompe

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) within the Department of the Interior is procuring a comprehensive Native American Student Information System (NASIS) through solicitation 140A2325Q0066 to replace their current student information system. The contract requires a contractor-owned, contractor-operated (CoCo) web-based system that will serve approximately 53,400 students across 183 BIE-funded schools in 23 states, with capabilities including student data management, federal reporting compliance (EDFacts, ESSA, IDEA), special education tracking, and integration with existing learning management systems. The system must achieve 99.97% uptime, obtain Authority to Operate certification within 12 months, comply with NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 security standards, and support FERPA and Privacy Act requirements. Evaluation will follow a best-value tradeoff approach where the combined Technical Solution with Transition Plan and Experience factors are significantly more important than Price. The current proposal due date is July 18, 2025, at 3:00 PM Central Time, with a questions deadline that has passed, and the contract award date scheduled for September 1, 2025.

Originally set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) under NAICS code 518210 with a $40 million size standard, the procurement was converted to an unrestricted Full and Open competition through Amendment 0006. The incumbent contractor is Infinite Campus, which received the original award valued at $7,588,873.88 and a bridge award of $1,385,200.00. The contract structure includes a firm-fixed-price base year running from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with four one-year option periods extending through August 31, 2030. The contractor must complete data migration within 180 days if different from the incumbent and provide comprehensive services including licensing for 53,400 to 56,000 users, cloud hosting, help desk support with three full-time staff, quarterly training sessions, and ongoing system maintenance. Performance will occur across BIE-funded schools in 23 states, with data required to be hosted within the continental United States and contractor personnel subject to background investigations for access to Personally Identifiable Information.
