Purchase Creative Curriculum Cloud for FACE Progra

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) has issued a Special Notice for a sole source contract to purchase Creative Curriculum Cloud for the FACE Program. The notice, published on February 25, 2025, indicates the agency's intent to award a contract directly to Teaching Strategies, LLC without a competitive bidding process. The procurement will be executed as a Firm-Fixed Price contract under specific legal authorities, including 41 U.S.C. 3304(c)(l), Public Law 114-95, and 48 C.F.R. 1.703. The contract is categorized under the Software Publishers NAICS code 513210 and falls within the IT and Telecom service category. The total anticipated contract value is $71,500.00.

Contractors who believe they can provide comparable capabilities have a narrow window to challenge the sole source procurement by submitting a capability statement and pricing information. The deadline for such submissions is 10:00 am Mountain Time on February 1, 2024, with all documentation to be sent directly to Contract Specialist Michelle Nahlee via email. No solicitation documents will be made available, and the agency will not entertain technical questions about the requirement. The notice emphasizes that this is not a request for competitive proposals, but rather a formal notification of BIE's intent to proceed with a direct award to Teaching Strategies, LLC for curriculum materials. The procurement appears to be specifically focused on acquiring cloud-based curriculum resources for the FACE (Family and Child Education) Program, which likely supports educational initiatives within Native American communities.
