The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Office of Facilities Management and Construction is conducting market research to identify Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) capable of replacing the existing HVAC system at the Colorado River Detention Facility on the Colorado River Indian Reservation (La Paz County, AZ). The scope includes removal and disposal of the current fresh‑air/HVAC unit and furnishing and installing a new packaged rooftop or ground‑mounted gas/electric or electric unit (split‑system configurations may be approved where necessary). All labor, materials, equipment, and related services are required, and the contractor must submit equipment cut sheets, manufacturer data, high‑ambient performance ratings, and load calculations for COR approval before ordering. Equipment with lead times over eight weeks, custom fabrication, or out‑of‑state procurement must be disclosed with a schedule impact analysis. The project must comply with BIA detention thermal standards, GSA P‑100 facilities standards, OSHA 29 CFR 1910/1926, FAR clauses, and the Buy Indian Act. A mandatory pre‑proposal site visit will be scheduled; attendance is required for a responsive proposal. The contractor’s project manager must coordinate weekly with the Facility Manager and COR during construction to review work plans, utility interruptions, access/escort requirements, and any operational issues. Responses—limited to ISBEE eligibility verification, capability statement, past performance, and the IEE representation form—must be submitted electronically to Danielle Bitsilly (danielle.bitsilly@bia.gov) by 17:00 MST on 25 May 2026, with the subject line “Sources Sought Response – Colorado River Detention Facility HVAC Replacement (ISBEE) – 140A1126Q0048.” This notice is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation or guarantee of award.
