UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Indian Education
1011 Indian School Rd NW, Suite 352
Albuquerque, NM 87104-2303

Supplemental Determination and Findings (D&F)
under
41 U.S.C §3304 (c)1; Public Law 114-95; and 48 C.F.R. § 1.703 Background
The BIE has a recurring need to procure school curriculum material for each school the Bureau supports. To ensure compliance with Public Law 114-95, Every Students Succeeds Acts (ESSA), the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), in 2018, put in place a Class Determinations and Findings (D&F) which allowed for the sole sourcing of curriculum-based requirements. ESSA is structured to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps; therefore, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) require the purchase of supplies and services to implement the approved school curriculum as well as the Secretary of the Interior’s definitions of standards, assessments, and accountability system.

Findings
1. BIE finds that Public Law 114-95 and the associated authorities are still active and appropriate for use.
2. BIE has reviewed the underlying Class D&F and determined it is still appropriate for use when the requirements outlined therein are met on a procurement-by-procurement basis. 3. BIE will attempt to maximize competition; however, BIE reserves the right to sole source in accordance with the attached Class D&F when all requirements outlined therein are met. 4. During fiscal year (FY) 2027 from October 1st, 2026, through September 30, 2027. BIE estimates over 200 actions valued at over $6,500,000.00 may be procured under the referenced authority and process.
5. This supplemental D&F will be valid throughout FY27 and will be reviewed annually thereafter.
