Ft Yuma Compressor Repair

The Indian Health Service (IHS), under the Department of Health and Human Services, is conducting market research to identify potential contractors for repairing and/or replacing air conditioning compressors at a facility in Winterhaven, Arizona. This is a Sources Sought Notice intended to determine compliance with the Buy Indian Act and assess the feasibility of a set-aside contract award. Interested vendors must demonstrate capability in HVAC contracting services under NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and submit responses by November 25, 2025, at 1:00 PM local time. The government will evaluate responses based on vendors' ability to comply with Buy Indian Act requirements, their technical capability to perform the work, and their experience with similar compressor repair or replacement projects. Prospective contractors should note that this is market research only and not a formal request for quote, though it may lead to a formal solicitation.

This procurement is designated as a Buy Indian set-aside, which prioritizes Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs) and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) for contract award. To qualify, firms must demonstrate that Indians own at least 51 percent of the enterprise, that Indians receive at least 51 percent of contract earnings, and that management is controlled by Indians. Respondents must complete the IHS Indian Economic Enterprise Representation form and identify the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe or Alaska Native Corporation supporting their IEE status. The notice does not specify an estimated contract value, quantity of compressors to be repaired or replaced, or a projected service timeline. No current incumbent contractor or specific budget range has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice.
