Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract based on the BIA task order 140A1618D0005-140A0121F0056 awarded to Cherokee Crc (valued at $3,198,401) for the Standing Rock Agency Quarters Demolition and Renovation Project. While the prior work is described as demolition/renovation under the BIA Design/Build and Construction IDIQ-MACC, it is tied to the same Standing Rock Agency location and likely involved facility systems upgrades and construction activities that can continue into subsequent building mechanical/HVAC control replacement needs.
