## Description

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), St. Stephens Indian School, intends to enter into a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

**Select Vendor:** Region V Board of Cooperative Education Services 3850 N. Wilderness Dr Wilson, Wyoming BOCES School: Sunrise School 273 S. Ohio Ave Hudson, Wyoming Period of Performance:

**09/23/2025 to 05/21/2026 Estimate Grand Total:** $85,000.00 The BIE has identified a need for student placement in a non-BIE school. The student has an autism spectrum disorder and requires highly specialized services to address the social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs as outlined in the IEP. Due to a lack of specialized personnel, including a Behaviorist and a certified Autism Specialist, BIE is unable to meet these needs.

The select vendor has qualified and trained personnel capable of providing highly specialized services. These services include individualized instruction and programming for students who require additional behavioral and emotional support to achieve their IEP goals. Furthermore, the school location is ideal. It is located 10-15 minutes from St. Stephens Wyoming. This proximity allows the student to remain within their local school district and return home each evening and on weekends.

Failure to provide these specialized services will place BIE in violation of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Due to the specialized nature of this requirement a competitive solicitation will not be issued. Technical questions will not be answered for this requirement being this is not a request for quote nor proposal and the government is not accepting quotes nor proposals in response to this notice. Any contractor information provided in response to this notice is strictly voluntary and shall be at no cost to the government.

**Service Code:**

**Q519-Behavioral and Mental Health NAICS Code:**

**611710-Educational Support Services Size Standard:** $24.0 in millions of dollars
