Sole sources notice

The Bureau of Indian Education, under the Department of the Interior, has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract for annual fire alarm inspections at Isleta Elementary School. This special notice was posted on January 5, 2026, and represents a procurement action for fire alarm system inspection and maintenance services. The contract will be awarded to Summit Fire & Security, the incumbent contractor that originally installed the fire alarm system. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction) and PSC code H363 (Inspection—Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems). This is a sole source award, meaning the government determined that only one contractor is suitable for the work.

The primary objective of this procurement is to secure ongoing fire alarm inspection services to maintain compliance and safety at the school facility. The contract is structured with a base year and four option years, with a total anticipated value of $24,669.23, subject to successful past performance and funding availability. Interested firms that believe the Bureau of Indian Education should not pursue this sole source procurement may submit a capability statement and pricing information by 4:00 p.m. Central Time on January 6, 2026, to M. Nahlee at michelle.nahlee@bia.gov. The award is justified based on the incumbent contractor's original installation of the system and its ability to guarantee warranties, with no other acceptable vendor identified for these specialized services. No solicitation or technical questions will be answered during this process.
