FBSU Rad Tech Sole source

The Indian Health Service, Department of Health and Human Services, has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source Award for radiology technician temporary staffing services at the Fort Belknap Service Unit in Harlem, Montana. The agency intends to award sole source contract 75H709-FB25Q-005 to AB Staffing Solutions, LLC under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This procurement falls under NAICS code 561320 for Temporary Help Services and PSC code Q522 for Medical-Radiology services. The contract will provide non-personal radiology technician temporary staffing services to support healthcare operations at the facility. AB Staffing Solutions currently has cleared and privileged technicians already working at the Fort Belknap Service Unit, which justifies the sole source approach to maintain continuity of patient care.

The primary purpose of this notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award rather than conducting a competitive procurement. Interested firms have 15 days from the June 10, 2025 publication date to provide written notification if they believe they can provide similar services. The notice explicitly states this is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document is available. Any information received from interested parties will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead. However, the government retains full discretion over whether to proceed with the sole source award or transition to a competitive process. The justification for sole sourcing centers on AB Staffing's existing presence at the facility with properly credentialed staff, ensuring uninterrupted radiology services for patients.
