This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for a blood gas instrument placement and reagent rental agreement between the Navajo Area Indian Health Service's Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility and Radiometer. The contractor will provide two Radiometer ABL 90 Flex Plus analyzers to replace existing Radiometer equipment, with trade-in of the old units. The agreement includes one year of warranty service and four years of service coverage, along with supplies and reagents sufficient for continuous operation under normal conditions, installation, user training, and a full validation kit. All analyzers are covered by depot service. The work location is Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility, with a period of performance from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027. The contractor must ship and deliver the instrumentation upon receipt of purchase order and schedule training on a mutually acceptable date, with proper invoicing for billing purposes and replacement or repair of instrumentation at the manufacturer's discretion following their internal protocols. The Contracting Officer Representative is Colleen Ben, Laboratory Supervisor, at (928) 674-7101 or colleen.ben@ihs.gov.

This procurement is a sole-source, non-competitive purchase order under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1000 employees. The anticipated contract period includes one one-year base period plus four one-year option periods. The notice of intent to award was issued as a special notice allowing for responses demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the government; responses were due by March 19, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. MST, after which the contract would be issued without further notice. The justification for sole-source award is based on the contractor's possession of equipment with all required features and capabilities, combined with the laboratory's existing familiarity with Radiometer blood gas systems currently in use.
