Speech-Language Therapist (Unrestricted)

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Education is seeking to procure speech-language therapy services through a contractor who will provide one Speech-Language Therapist at St. Stephens Indian School in Wyoming. The contractor must hold a master's degree in Speech Language Pathology, maintain current unrestricted state licensure, and possess five years of experience providing speech-language therapy in school settings. The selected contractor will be responsible for student assessments, IEP meetings, documentation, and coordination with teachers and parents to serve the current population of 13 students receiving services. The contract will be awarded on a firm-fixed price basis to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror, and the contractor must carry liability insurance of $1 million per person/occurrence and pass background investigations. The current response deadline is June 19, 2025, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time, following multiple amendments that have extended the original February 2025 deadline.

The solicitation has undergone significant changes through its amendment process, initially set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 621340 but later modified to unrestricted competition, opening the opportunity to all businesses regardless of size. The contract structure includes a base year covering the 2025-2026 school year and two option years, with the base year requiring services four days per week, six hours per day, for 36 weeks (totaling 864 hours including compensatory time), while option years reduce the requirement to two days per week for 432 hours annually without compensatory time. A hybrid work schedule has been established allowing one week per month on-site for assessments and measurements, with remaining weeks potentially performed remotely. Services are expected to begin mid-August for the 2025-2026 school year, with the contractor providing all-inclusive pricing covering federal, state, and local taxes, goods, services, travel, and other necessary fees. The place of performance is St. Stephens Indian School at 128 Mission Road, Saint Stephens, Wyoming 82524.
