The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Indian Health Service (IHS), Bemidji Area has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source contract to Gaumard Scientific for maintenance and repair services of obstetric simulation manikins at the Cass Lake IHS Hospital in Cass Lake, Minnesota. The anticipated contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed Price agreement with a base year plus two option years, valued at an estimated $20,585.00 for the initial one-year maintenance plan. The procurement is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.501(a) authority, which permits sole source awards when only one source is reasonably available. The contract will cover maintenance and service for Noelle and Newborn Tory Simulation Obstetric Manikins that are currently under a service agreement with Gaumard Scientific. The NAICS code for this procurement is 811210 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance.
This Special Notice serves as advance notification of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source procurement rather than competitive bidding, with responses due by September 29, 2025. The IHS has determined that Gaumard Scientific is the exclusive manufacturer, distributor, and service provider for these specialized medical training simulators, making them the only entity capable of providing the required maintenance services through their trained field and repair technicians. Interested contractors may submit responses to Contract Specialist Mary Simon demonstrating their capabilities, but must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government to potentially change the procurement approach. The notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive quotes, and any responses will only be considered to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted instead. Companies responding must demonstrate technical capabilities and show how they can meet the government's specific requirements for maintaining these sophisticated medical simulation devices.
