Occupational Therapy Services, JFK

The Bureau of Indian Education, under the Department of the Interior, is soliciting occupational therapy services for John F. Kennedy School in Whiteriver, Arizona through Request for Quote (RFQ) 140A2325Q0108. The contractor must provide occupational therapy services to approximately 6 students with disabilities, with the occupational therapist required to hold a Master's degree in Occupational Therapy, current Arizona licensure, and national certification. Evaluation will be based on contractor capabilities, qualifications of key personnel, past performance, and price, with pricing structured as an all-inclusive hourly rate. The solicitation has undergone multiple amendments, with the original response deadline of May 29, 2025, extended to June 19, 2025, and subsequently to December 9, 2025, due to government appropriations delays and pricing determination challenges. However, the most recent amendment (Amendment 0004), effective February 5, 2026, cancels the entire solicitation.

This solicitation carries no set-aside designation and represents an unrestricted procurement with a small business size standard of $12.5 million. The contract estimated 160 hours of service per year, with pricing to be determined based on the all-inclusive hourly rate submitted by offerors and wage determinations established by the U.S. Department of Labor for Arizona counties. The base year of performance was ultimately set for February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2027, with four additional one-year option periods available through January 31, 2030. The services will be performed at John F. Kennedy Day School on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in Cedar Creek, Arizona, requiring the contractor to work a minimum of 2 days per month at the school location. The solicitation emphasized Indian Preference in hiring and required all personnel to pass background investigations and be U.S. citizens.
