Autoclave

The Indian Health Service's Kayenta Health Center in Arizona is procuring two autoclaves for their Dental Department through solicitation 75H71025Q00349. The requirement is for Model 3870EAP autoclaves featuring 85-liter chamber volumes and 15 standard cassette capacity, with specific electrical and dimensional specifications that must be met. The solicitation was issued on September 5, 2025, with all offers due by September 14, 2025, at 5:00 PM Mountain Time, allowing just nine days for submission. The evaluation criteria will assess technical capability in meeting government requirements, delivery timeline performance, and pricing competitiveness. Offerors must submit three separate volumes including administrative documents, specifications and delivery information without pricing, and a dedicated price volume with supporting details.

This procurement is designated as an Indian-Owned Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-aside, restricting competition to businesses that meet strict requirements for ownership, management, and operational control by Indians or Indian Tribes and qualify as small businesses under the 750-employee size standard for NAICS code 339114. The anticipated delivery timeframe is 30 to 60 days after receipt of order, indicating the urgent need for this dental equipment. Performance will take place at the Kayenta Health Center located at Highway 160, Mile Post 394.3, Kayenta, Arizona 86033. The contract will utilize electronic payment processing through the Department of Treasury's IPP system at www.ipp.gov. No incumbent contractor or specific award values are mentioned in the available documentation, though the specialized nature of the dental autoclave equipment suggests this is a targeted replacement or expansion of existing sterilization capabilities.
