Occupational Therapist and Certified Occupational

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) within the Department of the Interior is seeking a contractor to provide occupational therapy services at the Mariano Lake Community School on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. The solicitation requires a licensed Occupational Therapist (OT) and/or Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) to serve two identified special education students during the base year period from August 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. The contractor must provide on-site services one to two days per week, including conducting evaluations, developing individualized education plan (IEP) goals, providing teacher consultations, and maintaining comprehensive documentation of all services rendered. The government intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract under NAICS code 621340 for Offices of Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists, and Audiologists. Quotes must be submitted by July 23, 2025, with the solicitation posted on July 17, 2025.

This procurement is set aside for small businesses with a size standard of $12.5 million and is classified as unrestricted beyond the small business designation. The contract will focus specifically on serving two special education students at the Mariano Lake Community School located on the Navajo Nation reservation in New Mexico. The performance period spans the full academic year from August 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, requiring consistent weekly service delivery of one to two days per week throughout this timeframe. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific budget ranges, though the firm-fixed-price structure suggests the government expects detailed cost proposals from potential contractors. The specialized nature of the services and the remote location on tribal land may present unique logistical considerations for prospective bidders.
