The Great Plains Area Indian Health Service (GPAIHS) has published a Special Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract for building automation system maintenance and service at the Cheyenne River Health Center in Eagle Butte, South Dakota. This notice, posted on January 9, 2026, announces the agency's intention to award a firm fixed price contract exclusively to Harris St Paul, Inc. (SAM UEI: M195PTF387G3) for a base year plus four option years, with an anticipated award date of January 26, 2026. The contract value exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold, and the agency is pursuing a waiver from competitive procurement under FAR 6.302-1, citing Harris St Paul as the sole manufacturer capable of meeting the agency's requirements. The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service issued this notice, which falls under NAICS code 423730 and PSC category J041 for maintenance and repair of air conditioning equipment.

This Special Notice invites interested parties to submit clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government, would not be cost or time prohibitive, and would not hinder the agency's mission objectives by the due date of January 23, 2026. The contract requires the contractor to provide monthly on-site maintenance, six scheduled annual site visits, technical support, on-site operation training, programming, software updates, modifications, and emergency repairs for the facility's building automation system. Qualified contractors must demonstrate at least five years of field experience, employ technicians with five or more years of HVAC and building automation system experience with Tridium Niagara 4 certification, maintain Distech Authorized System Integrator status, and possess three or more years of healthcare facility experience. The contractor must coordinate closely with the Facility Manager and Contracting Officer's Representative Erik Twite, operate during standard business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday), and include a $3,000 annual emergency service fund in their bid price.
