The Indian Education Acquisition Office is procuring occupational therapy services for Riverside Indian School in Anadarko, Oklahoma, on behalf of the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Education, with questions due November 5, 2026 and proposals due December 2, 2026. The Set Aside line is Total Small Business. Amendment 0003, posted November 2, 2026, changes the set-aside from Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise/Indian Economic Enterprise (ISBEE/IEE) to Small Business, strikes all ISBEE/IEE provisions and clauses, and extends the bid deadline from October 30, 2026 to 1600 Central Standard Time on December 2, 2026. Questions are due by 1600 Central Standard Time on November 5, 2026, with answers posted by November 10, 2026. Amendment 0001 narrowed the CLIN descriptions to occupational therapy services only.

The contractor provides school-based evaluations, individual and small-group interventions per IEP/504 plans, consultation, IEP/504 meeting attendance, documentation, and staff training. The school provides workspace, computers, assessment tools, and adaptive equipment. Amendment 0002 estimates 200 annual hours with a caseload of one to four students in grades 4 through 12, about 80% individual and 20% small-group. The pricing schedule estimates 1,000 total labor hours across the base year and four option years. The base period runs December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2027, with four one-year options through November 30, 2031.
