Asbestos Removal GIMC

The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service is seeking asbestos removal services at the Gallup Indian Medical Center located at 516 E. Nizhoni Boulevard in Gallup, New Mexico. The scope of work involves the complete removal of asbestos-containing floor tiles and black mastic adhesive from two locations: Operating Room No. 5 on the 2nd floor (approximately 307.31 square feet) and the OR Sterilizer Room on the 4th floor (5 feet by 10 feet), followed by cleaning of concrete decking to prepare for new flooring installation. The contractor must provide all labor, tools, equipment, and adhere to strict safety protocols including wet removal methods, protective equipment, and air quality testing, while maintaining a sterile environment suitable for healthcare facility operations. The evaluation will be based on Technical Capabilities (rated as acceptable or unacceptable) and Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology. The deadline for proposal submission is February 11, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. MST, with questions having been due on December 23, 2025.

This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, and there is no incumbent contractor on this project. The contract period of performance runs from March 2, 2026, through May 1, 2026, not to exceed 30 days from the Notice to Proceed. Laboratory analysis by Fiberquant Analytical Services confirmed the presence of asbestos, specifically identifying less than 1% chrysotile asbestos in floor tile and mastic samples collected on May 1, 2025. No additional testing is required after floor cleaning, and cove base replacement and final flooring seal work are outside the scope of this asbestos abatement contract. The work is intended to occur during regular patient working hours at the facility in Gallup, New Mexico, though non-patient hours may be arranged if necessary to avoid disrupting surgical operations.
