Special Notice Announcement

The Department of the Interior Interior Business Center announced its intent to issue a single purchase order for appraisal and valuation services and solicits quotes by July 21, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. The solicitation targets Indian-owned Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) and Indian-owned Economic Enterprises (IEEs) in the first instance; if fewer than two such firms respond, the government will issue solicitations to the broader small business community, and if fewer than two small businesses under NAICS 531320 respond, the government may issue solicitations on an unrestricted basis. The Bureau of Indian Affairs requires appraisal services for five forced partition cases and one Kelpin sale case in Rolette County, North Dakota (internal tracking number 44050015). The appraisals will support client approval of negotiated forced partitions and land sales. Award will be based primarily on price as the selection factor, with the lowest technically acceptable quote receiving preference, though past experience and past performance may justify award to other than the lowest priced quote at the government's sole discretion. Interested contractors must email AQDSAT@ibc.doi.gov by the deadline indicating their business size and which appraisals they intend to bid on. All respondents must maintain active SAM.gov registration at quote submission and award and possess the necessary licenses and professional qualifications required to perform appraisal services in North Dakota. This announcement may serve as the only notice issued for the identified services.
