About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service, Gallup Service Unit is conducting market research to identify prospective vendors for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to supply nutritional supplements to the Gallup Indian Medical Center's Dietary and Food Service Department. The requirement encompasses 24 specific nutritional supplement items, including various formulations of established brands such as Ensure, Glucerna, Jevity, Osmolite, Nepro, TwoCal, and Vital HP, along with thickening agents designed to support medical nutrition therapy for inpatients requiring balanced nourishment intake and low carbohydrate options. This is a sources-sought notice for market research purposes only and is not a formal solicitation; however, interested parties must submit responses by 10:00 AM Mountain Daylight Time on March 17, 2026, to Contract Specialist Rodney Brown at Rodney.Brown@ihs.gov. Submissions must include company profile information with UEI, business size, type of ownership, and socioeconomic status. The notice does not specify formal evaluation criteria at this market research stage, as the government is gathering information to determine its acquisition strategy, including competition approach and potential set-aside designations. All prospective offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) at the time of offer submission and should include all required information in their response.
The procurement carries no set-aside designation at this time, though the market research findings may influence whether set-asides or Indian Economic Enterprise preferences are applied in the formal solicitation. The NAICS code assigned is 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 700 employees. No incumbent contractor is identified in the pre-solicitation documentation, and no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in this market research phase. The contract will be structured as a 12-month base period with two optional one-year extension periods, allowing the Gallup Indian Medical Center to manage nutritional supplement procurement on an as-needed basis for direct patient care. All deliveries are to be made to the GIMC warehouse at the Administrative Service Building in Gallup, New Mexico, with no on-site contractor work or special security requirements. Prospective vendors are encouraged to review the draft Statement of Work and Indian Economic Enterprise representation form, which may be required in the formal solicitation process.
