GIMC - Lease/Rental of a Mobile Computed Tomography (CT) Unit

The Indian Health Service, Gallup Service Unit is conducting market research to identify prospective sources for the lease or rental of a Mobile Computed Tomography (CT) Unit under NAICS code 621512 - Diagnostic Imaging Centers with a small business size standard of $19.0 million. This pre-solicitation notice is purely for market research purposes and is not an actual solicitation, with the government seeking to determine its acquisition strategy including competition levels, set-aside opportunities, and identification of Indian-owned economic enterprises. Interested parties must submit their responses by Friday, June 13, 2025, to Contract Specialist Stephen Silversmith at Stephen.Silversmith@ihs.gov with the subject line "SSN - IHS1512891". Submissions must include a comprehensive company profile with UEI, contact information, business size and ownership type, socio-economic certifications, Native American ownership identification if applicable, and SAM.gov registration status. Companies must also provide a capability statement demonstrating their ability to fulfill the requirement, along with past performance history and any existing contract vehicles such as GSA or VA Schedules. The evaluation will focus on the company's qualifications and capability to provide mobile CT unit services, with special attention to Indian-owned businesses that must complete the attached IHS IEE Representation Form.

This opportunity does not specify any set-aside designation, though the government is actively seeking to identify Indian-owned economic enterprises as part of their market research strategy. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are mentioned in the notice, nor are any specific award values or budget ranges disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage. The notice does not provide details regarding the quantity of mobile CT units required or the anticipated timeline for services, as this information gathering phase is designed to assess market capabilities before developing the formal acquisition strategy. Companies claiming Indian-owned Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) or Indian-owned Economic Enterprise (IEE) status must submit the completed IHS IEE Representation Form that was attached to the notice. All potential offerors must be registered in SAM.gov to comply with annual representations and certifications requirements, and the government will not provide feedback or evaluations regarding submitted company information. The compressed timeline allows only four days from posting to response deadline, indicating the government's urgency in completing this market research phase.
