About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS) Shiprock Service Unit issued a Special Notice regarding the procurement of a billing management systems solution for revenue cycle processing. Initially posted on October 16, 2025, the notice announced the agency's intent to single-source the contract with Change Healthcare Operations, LLC. However, Amendment #1 to the notice reversed this decision, indicating that the IHS will pursue a competitive strategy for the procurement instead of proceeding with the single-source award. The contract opportunity falls under NAICS code 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services) with a small business size standard of $40.0 million. This federal contracting opportunity was published by the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service.
The objective of this procurement is to acquire a web-based, HIPAA-compliant billing management solution that automates claims management, remittance and payment management, and patient billing and payment processes, while providing a unified claims management interface for all payers and accurate regulatory billing and reporting. The anticipated contract period runs from November 4, 2025, through November 3, 2030, structured as a base period plus four option periods, with performance taking place at Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico. The original deadline for responses to challenge the single-source intent was October 31, 2025, at 8:00 AM Mountain Daylight Time, though this deadline has been superseded by the competitive strategy announced in Amendment #1. All necessary personnel, supplies, materials, and equipment required to perform the services will be provided by the selected vendor. Interested contractors should contact Cornelius Tsipai, Contract Specialist, at cornelius.tsipai@ihs.gov for additional information regarding this competitive procurement opportunity.
