About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract for Medical Physicist Services at Rosebud IHS Hospital in Rosebud, South Dakota. The Great Plains Area Indian Health Service is pursuing a sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1, asserting that only one responsible source can provide the required medical physicist services due to the isolated location of the facility. The contract is structured as a Firm Fixed-Price purchase order with a total estimated value of $30,000 and a period of performance from March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027. Without access to medical physicist services at the location, the department would be forced to defer services and transport patients over an hour away, resulting in significant costs and potential delays in medical treatment. The Government seeks clear and convincing evidence that the sole source award would be advantageous, not cost or time prohibitive, and would not hinder agency standardization objectives.
Responses to this notice of intent must be submitted via email only to Jarrod Cole, Purchasing Agent, at jarrod.cole@ihs.gov with the subject line "Notice of Intent Question Submission - IHS1523484, Medical Physicist Service." The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred in responding. This notice is not a request for quotes or proposals, and the determination to proceed with sole source contracting remains solely within the Government's discretion. Information received will typically be considered for purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead.
