TAAMS Sole Source IDIQ

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Central Office issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole-source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract to CGI Federal, Inc., for a five-year period to provide licensing, software maintenance, and continued development of the Trust Asset and Accounting Management System (TAAMS), with a response deadline of October 31, 2026. The sole-source award is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.103-1 based on findings that TAAMS is the only responsible source currently available to meet agency requirements without service disruption.

TAAMS serves as the system of record for title and land resource management within the Department of the Interior and Bureau of Indian Affairs for managing Indian Trust Land, with functionalities including title management, leasing, Indian Land Consolidation Act processing, imaging, invoicing and distribution, oil and gas royalty distribution, and Land Buy Back functionality. Required services include continued database management and development, software delivery services, training, interfaces, and security updates.

The BIA previously posted RFI 140A1625R0018 on March 14, 2025, to explore alternative solutions including configurable COTS options from small businesses and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs). Although RFI results indicated potential for future competition with modernized, cost-effective alternatives, no currently viable turnkey solutions were identified that would allow implementation by October 31, 2026, without service disruption. The sole-source award will provide continuity while the Department develops the eNativeTrust platform for future modernization.

Firms proposing alternative non-developmental solutions ready for full implementation by October 31, 2026, should submit technical capabilities and pricing to Contracting Officer Jeffrey Pearson (Jeffrey.Pearson@bia.gov) or Contract Specialist Jeff Shaffer (Jeffrey.Shaffer@bia.gov). No formal solicitation is available and no technical questions will be answered.
