On April 18, 2023, the Indian Health Service (IHS) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Sysmex America, Inc. for the lease of one hematology analyzer with reagents, controls, calibrators, service, and related supplies through April 30, 2028. The contract ceiling value is $145,357.47 with performance at the Cass Lake, Minnesota location. This award does not include a small business set-aside designation. Sysmex America, a U.S. subsidiary of the Japanese medical diagnostics corporation Sysmex Corporation, is a well-established provider of advanced clinical laboratory diagnostic equipment and services to federal healthcare agencies, specializing in hematology analyzers and comprehensive maintenance and technical support.
This award represents a continuation of Sysmex America's substantial engagement with the IHS, which has previously procured the company's hematology equipment and services across multiple tribal healthcare facilities including Phoenix Indian Medical Center, Rosebud, Pine Ridge, Chinle, Crownpoint, and other service units. The company's federal contracting presence is further strengthened by a $29.97 million General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule contract (Critical Analyzers, Laboratory) effective through December 14, 2029, which serves as the parent vehicle for delivery orders across federal healthcare agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Defense Health Agency, and IHS. The Cass Lake award leverages Sysmex America's established capabilities in providing cost-effective laboratory diagnostic solutions that enable efficient procurement of essential diagnostic capabilities within federal healthcare systems.
