Repair Fire Department Building for GPRO, Rosebud Agency, Rosebud, SD

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for repairing a fire department building at the Great Plains Regional Office in Rosebud, South Dakota. The agency plans to contract with LaCreek Development under a firm-fixed price arrangement, citing FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) which allows sole source procurement when only one source is reasonably available due to circumstances such as urgency or exclusive agreements. This procurement falls under NAICS code 238990 for All Other Specialty Trade Contractors and is classified as maintenance of educational buildings. The notice explicitly states this is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation will be issued.

The primary purpose of this notice is to inform potential contractors of BIA's intention to proceed with sole source contracting while providing an opportunity for other qualified firms to challenge this approach. Any company that believes BIA should not pursue this sole source procurement must submit a capability statement and pricing information by 10:00 a.m. MDT on September 12, 2025, to Contract Specialist Lynelle Benallie via email. The extremely short response window of approximately one day reflects the urgency underlying this procurement action. No technical questions will be answered, and no additional solicitation materials are available, limiting the information available to potential challengers. Contractors wishing to contest the sole source approach must demonstrate their capability and competitive pricing within the tight deadline to potentially influence BIA's procurement strategy.
