The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center awarded a $3,674,992.25 firm fixed price delivery order contract to Fire Creek Services Company, a tribally-owned small disadvantaged business certified under the Small Business Administration's 8(a) program. This delivery order was issued against a larger $22 million indefinite delivery contract that Fire Creek had previously been awarded by the NIH Clinical Center to provide IT support services, patient call systems, mobile devices, medical equipment, and various technology products to enable the center's medical research and patient care missions. The delivery order work will take place at facilities in Maryland, Nebraska, and Virginia, with a period of performance through March 31, 2025. As an 8(a) program participant, Fire Creek is eligible for federal contract set-asides, though this specific award did not utilize a set-aside. Fire Creek Services Company is a subsidiary of the tribally-owned Ho-Chunk, Inc. conglomerate, showcasing the role of Native American-owned firms as key technology and services providers supporting the federal government's premier biomedical research institute.
