Customized Stainless-Steel Equipment/Furniture

The Navajo Area Indian Health Service, under the Department of Health and Human Services, has issued a Special Notice seeking contractors to provide customized stainless-steel equipment and furniture for the newly renovated Inpatient Pharmacy at the Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility. The procurement is being conducted in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and is classified under NAICS code 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and PSC code 7195 (Miscellaneous Furniture And Fixtures). The opportunity was posted on September 8, 2025, with responses due by September 11, 2025. This is not a set-aside procurement, making it open to all eligible contractors. The Indian Health Service is specifically looking for specialized pharmaceutical-grade furniture that meets the stringent requirements of a cleanroom environment.

The primary objective is to furnish the Inpatient Pharmacy with customized stainless-steel furniture that will support pharmaceutical operations in a newly renovated IV cleanroom facility. The specifications require two stainless steel tables with wheel casters in different dimensions, two solid surface stainless steel shelving units with wheel casters, and two cleanroom grade polyurethane rolling chairs. The equipment committee approved these specifications on May 13, 2025, with tracking number CSU-EQ-25-018. The selection of stainless steel is deliberate due to its superior hygiene properties, durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand rigorous cleaning procedures required in pharmaceutical environments. Contractors have a very tight deadline of just three days from posting to respond, and must be capable of delivering equipment that meets the specific dimensional and quality requirements outlined in the specifications document. The non-porous surface characteristics of the stainless steel are critical for preventing contamination accumulation in this healthcare setting.
