Source Sought for Educational Support Resources

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), under the Department of the Interior, is seeking vendors to provide digital platform access and educational support services for the Family & Child Education (FACE) Program. The procurement focuses on delivering a comprehensive, culturally relevant parenting curriculum and digital platform that integrates Teaching Strategies for Early Childhood curriculum with video-based learning activities available in English and Spanish to enhance family engagement and early learning outcomes in Tribal communities. Key service deliverables include digital platform access featuring a library of developmentally appropriate learning strategies, professional development and training for FACE staff (delivered virtually and in-person), customer support and technical assistance, data tracking and reporting capabilities, and data integration with the FACE Portal. Vendors must maintain active SAM registration and demonstrate relevant past performance in educational support services. The critical deadline for responses to this Sources Sought Notice is April 2, 2026, at 4:00 PM Central Time, with submissions limited to five pages and submitted electronically to michelle.nahlee@bie.edu. The BIE will evaluate responses to determine whether to pursue a set-aside procurement or full and open competition based on vendor capabilities and market availability.

This procurement includes no set-aside designation, and no current contractor or incumbent is identified in the available documentation. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, which is typical for Sources Sought notices used for market research purposes. The contract will be classified under NAICS code 611710 (Educational Support Services) and PSC code U009 (Education/Training-General). Work is to be performed at the contractor's office location, and the BIE reserves the right to conduct follow-up capabilities briefings with interested vendors. Indian-owned businesses are specifically encouraged to respond as either prime contractors or subcontractors. This notice does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to award a contract, and respondents will not be compensated for their submissions.
