This Request for Information (RFI) is being issued

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center (IBC) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for professional accounting services to support the Office of Historical Trust Accounting (OHTA). The RFI seeks to gather market research on capabilities for conducting historical accounting analyses of Individual Indian Monies (IIM) and Tribal trust accounts. Potential contractors will be expected to provide accounting expertise involving approximately 55 million surface acres of land, 57 million subsurface mineral interests, and $3.6 billion in trust assets. Respondents must submit a capability statement via email by January 3, 2025, including business details such as UEI/CAGE code, NAICS classifications, and socio-economic designations. The RFI is strictly for information gathering and does not constitute a formal solicitation, with no obligation for the government to issue a subsequent contract.

The contract is anticipated to have one base period of 11 months and 28 days, with four additional 12-month option periods. Work will be performed in Washington DC, Albuquerque NM, or at contractor facilities, requiring two geographically separate teams. Key personnel must include a Director/Partner and Senior Manager/Project Manager with relevant degrees and at least 5 years of managerial experience. The estimated level of effort ranges from 35,100 to 46,800 hours annually, and all personnel will need to obtain public trust position security clearances. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541219 for Other Accounting Services, with a Product Service Code of R703 for Management Accounting Support. No specific set-aside designations are currently identified, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified contractors.
