The solicitation seeks a site-hosted, evidence-based clinical criteria software license and support services for hospital utilization review processes. The contractor must provide a non-transferable software license supporting a minimum of 12 simultaneous users to evaluate clinical criteria across nine key areas: observation services, inpatient admissions, continued inpatient stays, discharge planning evaluation, ambulatory surgical services appropriateness, transition of care to rehabilitation/subacute/skilled nursing services, substance use disorder transitions, durable medical equipment transitions, and retrospective risk management and quality care evaluation. The software must comply with CMS Conditions of Participation (482.30) for utilization review, utilize evidence-based clinical criteria, include source documentation, and incorporate current standards of care. The contractor shall provide initial onsite training for a minimum of 12 IHS employees, ongoing technical IT support, length-of-stay applications and reports, continuous software updates aligned with standard-of-care changes, and must not access or manage Protected Health Information or Personally Identifiable Information. The contractor's solution must be site-hosted (if cloud-based, it must hold current FedRAMP Certification); server-based solutions on government infrastructure are exempt from this requirement. The contract includes a one-year base period (10/01/2026–09/30/2027) plus four one-year option periods extending through 09/30/2031. The solicitation is set aside as an Indian-Owned Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) under the Buy Indian Act, NAICS code 513210. The offer due date is September 15, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Mountain Time. Evaluation criteria include Technical Capability to meet government needs and Price, with options evaluated by adding total option prices to the base requirement price. All invoices must be submitted electronically through the Department of Treasury Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) at www.ipp.gov. The contract incorporates FAR 52.212-4 and multiple federal clauses addressing HIPAA compliance (Business Associate Agreement required), privacy, security, accessibility (Section 508/WCAG 2.1 Level AA), sustainable products, and various small business and socioeconomic compliance requirements.

(1) Contracts that have been set aside for any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3);

(2) Part or parts of a multiple-award contract that have been set aside for any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3);

NAIHS-ACQ-09 UNAUTHORIZED COMMITMENTS NOV 2025

(a) Definitions.

Contracting Officer means a person with the authority to enter into, administer, and/or terminate contracts and make related determination and findings.

Ratification means the act of approving an unauthorized commitment by an official who has the authority to do so.

Unauthorized Commitment (UAC) means an agreement that is not binding solely because the Government representative who made it lacked the authority to enter into that agreement on behalf of the Government.

(b) Policy.

The Government is not bound by agreements with, or contractual commitments made to, prospective contractors by individuals who do not have delegated contracting authority. Unauthorized commitments do not follow the appropriate process for the expenditure of Government funds. Consequently, the Government may not be able to ratify certain actions, putting a contractor at risk for taking direction from a Federal official other than the contracting officer (see FAR 1.403-2). Government employees responsible for unauthorized commitments are subject to disciplinary action. Contractors perform at their own risk when accepting direction from unauthorized officials. Failure to follow statutory and regulatory processes for the expenditure of Government funds is a very serious matter.

(c) Procedure.

Any agreement, modification, or change to a contractual agreement made by a government personnel who lack authority will be deemed an unauthorized commitment. The Government is not liable to the Contractor or under the terms of the contract, financially or otherwise – unless the unauthorized commitment successfully passes the ratification process.

The ratification process does not have any lead time, nor does the Government make any promise that an unauthorized commitment will be ratified and, therefore, the Contractor would be paid. The Contractor proceeds at its own risk if any of the terms of the contract are altered, changed, or modified without the written concurrence by a Contracting Officer.

NAIHS-ACQ-18 COVERED ENTITIES AND BUSINESS

ASSOCIATES

APR 2025

The Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information ("Privacy Rule") establishes, for the first time, a set of national standards for the protection of certain health information. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") issued the Privacy Rule to implement the requirement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA").1 The Privacy Rule standards address the use and disclosure of individuals' health information—called "protected health information" by organizations subject to the Privacy Rule

— called "covered entities," as well as standards for individuals' privacy rights to understand and control how their health information is used. Within HHS, the Office for Civil Rights ("OCR") has responsibility for implementing and enforcing the Privacy Rule with respect to voluntary compliance activities and civil money penalties.

A major goal of the Privacy Rule is to assure that individuals' health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high quality health care and to protect the public's health and well being. The Rule strikes a balance that permits important uses of information, while protecting the privacy of people who seek care and healing. Given that the health care marketplace is diverse, the Rule is designed to be flexible and comprehensive to cover the variety of uses and disclosures that need to be addressed.

Individuals, organizations, and agencies that meet the definition of a covered entity under HIPAA Rules at 45 CFR

160.103 must comply with the Rules' requirements to protect the privacy and security of health information and must provide individuals with certain rights with respect to their health information. If a covered entity engages a business associate to help it carry out its health care activities and functions, the covered entity must have a written business associate contract or other arrangement with the business associate that establishes specifically what the business associate has been engaged to do and requires the business associate to comply with the Rules’ requirements to protect the privacy and security of protected health information. In addition to these contractual obligations, business associates are directly liable for compliance with certain provisions of the HIPAA Rules.

Under this contract the contractor and its employees agree to the Business Associate Agreement labeled as Attachment C that has been incorporated into this solicitation or contract.

NAIHS-ACQ-20 PROTECTING FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND

THE PUBLIC FROM EXPOSURE TO TOBACCO

4. Private vehicles while on IHS property.

The IHS continues to recognize the value and efficacy of patients’ traditional beliefs and ceremonial practices. The use of tobacco products for ceremonial purposes is allowed in the designated traditional healing room, including any space designated for a ceremony, or in a patient’s hospital room.

To the maximum extent practicable, Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer’s Representative in advance of using tobacco products in a ceremony.
