This is a Sources Sought Notice issued by the Phoenix Area Indian Health Service for market research purposes to determine vendor availability and capability for providing Digital Radiographic Technologist (DRT) services at Phoenix Indian Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona (Notice ID: SS-26-PHX-019).
The Government seeks non-personal services from Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) or other small business concerns to provide mammography imaging services (2D and 3D Tomosynthesis), computed tomography (CT) imaging services, and patient screening, positioning, and imaging procedures. The anticipated contract includes a 12-month base year with four optional 12-month extensions. Mammography services operate on a day shift schedule (7:30 AM – 4:00 PM), while CT services require day, evening, and night shift coverage on an as-needed basis with typically 2–4 weeks advance scheduling. All services must be performed on-site at PIMC. The contractor must ensure quality assurance and quality control in accordance with MQSA and ACR standards, maintain accurate documentation in RPMS/EHR systems, and comply with IHS, Joint Commission, and CMS standards. The contractor is fully responsible for personnel management, supervision, and performance under this non-personal services contract structure.
Interested vendors must demonstrate staffing capability for both services, experience providing diagnostic radiology services, familiarity with applicable standards (MQSA, ACR, TJC, CMS, and IHS), and ability to maintain service continuity with short-notice coverage. Technologists must hold current ARRT certification (with CT certification for CT technologists), MQSA certification for mammography technologists, and current BLS certification. The recommended NAICS code is 621512 (Diagnostic Imaging Centers) with a size standard of $19.0M, and the PSC code is Q522 (Radiology Services). The IHS Contracting Officer will prioritize ISBEE firms under the Buy Indian Act. Responses, not exceeding seven pages, must be submitted electronically to Dekovan Cook (Dekovan.Cook@ihs.gov) with the subject line "DRT Services Sources Sought – PIMC" by the deadline specified in SAM. This notice is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or government commitment.
