About this opportunity
The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), on behalf of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source Time and Material contract to AB Staffing Solutions LLC for Compensatory Education Advisor Services at Havasupai Elementary School in Supai, Arizona, effective May 13, 2026 through May 12, 2029. This is not a competitive solicitation. The estimated contract value is $694,320. The sole source award is justified under FAR 12.102(b) on grounds that services are required under the Stephen C. Remand Settlement Agreement and are available from only one responsible source; competitive procurement would cause unacceptable delays and risk service disruption in a rural tribal community with established continuity needs. Contract personnel must be prepared to hike out of the canyon or remain overnight in the school gymnasium if helicopter evacuation from Supai is prevented by weather; the BIE will provide cots, bedding, and sheets during extended stays. Continuation of service without disruption is a key contract requirement.

The estimated value of the proposed action is $694,320.0
The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) is committed to provide Compensatory Education Advisor in accordance with the Stephen C. Remand Settlement Agreement, Havasupai Elementary School (HES), located in Supai, Arizona.
This is a sole source requirement. The services required are available from only one responsible source and no other type of service will satisfy the agencies need. Promoting enhanced competition will result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agencies requirement. Due to legality of the settlement agreement, Compensatory Education Advisor service is unique and is not suitable for full and open competition without the time and effort to secure contractor candidate’s continuity of services and to continue the relationship and confidence of the rural community and tribal members.
Key Considerations: Contractor must secure and fulfill the requirement, while continuing the service without disruption or delay. Contract Personnel may need to either hike out of the canyon or sleep on a cot in the HES Gymnasium if the individual is unable to fly out of Supai, AZ on the BIE’s contracted helicopter due to unforeseen weather conditions. When local lodging is not available, the BIE HES will provide a cot, sheets, pillows, and blankets for Contractor Personnel use during their visit and stay. Contract Personnel are recommended to bring in snacks to the Canyon, if possible. Travel by helicopter is dependent upon local travel conditions and weather permitting.
No solicitation is available, and no technical questions will be answered for this requirement. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 561320.
