Speech lang path

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Education seeks a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist to provide in-person therapy services to Chichiltah Community School in Vanderwagon, New Mexico, with quotes due August 19, 2026, and technical questions due August 18, 2026. This is a 100% total small business set-aside.

The contract is a Labor Hour type with a one-year base period running August 24, 2026, through July 31, 2027, and four optional one-year extensions through July 31, 2031. The contractor will provide four hours of service per week over one day per week for 42 weeks annually (168 total labor hours). Services include speech-language therapy for four identified students, comprehensive evaluations, IEP meeting participation, teacher consultation, progress monitoring, and documentation in the school's student information system (NASIS).

The NAICS code is 621340, Offices of Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists, and Audiologists, with a $12.5 million size standard. All quotes must include an all-inclusive labor rate covering all costs, expenses, labor, supplies, materials, and taxes, submitted on an SF-1449 form alongside a technical narrative (maximum 10 pages) addressing capabilities and key personnel. Quotes must remain effective for 120 days following the August 20, 2026, close date.

Key personnel must hold a Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from an accredited institution and current New Mexico licensure and certification; deviation renders the quote non-responsive. The contractor must complete background investigations and security clearances prior to onsite work, provide immunization documentation, and comply with Indian Preference hiring practices, IDEA requirements, and BIE policies. Invoicing is submitted electronically through the Internet Payment Platform system. Contracting Officer: Charmaine Williams-James, (505) 803-4266, charmaine.williams-james@bie.edu.
