About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service, Gallup Indian Medical Center, Gallup Service Unit is seeking responses to a sources-sought notice (SSN) for telecommunication paging services. This market research effort is designed to identify capable Indian-owned economic enterprises (IEE), both large and small, as well as other qualified firms that can provide these services. The procurement will prioritize Buy Indian Act opportunities first, followed by set-aside programs under the Small Business Act. Responses must be submitted by Thursday, April 9, 2026, at 5:00 P.M. MT to Stephen Silversmith, Contract Specialist, at Stephen.Silversmith@ihs.gov with the subject line "SSN-IHS1523171." Interested parties must include company profile information such as Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), business address, primary point of contact, business size classification, socio-economic status, and identification of Native American ownership. All respondents must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) at the time of offer submission and at contract award. It is important to note that this is a pre-solicitation notice for market research purposes only, and submission of information is voluntary with no financial responsibility assumed by the government.
No set-asides have been designated for this opportunity, though Indian-owned enterprises will receive preferential consideration under the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. 47) before other set-aside programs are applied. The applicable NAICS code is 517112 Wireless Telecommunications Carriers with a small business size standard of 1,500 employees. The government file materials include an Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form that offerors must complete to certify their eligibility under the Buy Indian Act, and successful awardees will be required to maintain eligibility throughout the offer submission period, contract award, and full performance period. While no specific award value or budget range is provided in this pre-solicitation notice, the classification under PSC DE11 (IT and Telecom - Mobile Device As A Service) indicates this is a telecommunications services requirement. The sources-sought notice does not specify contract duration, service quantity requirements, or anticipated award amounts, as this is preliminary market research to inform the contracting office's acquisition strategy regarding competition and potential set-aside eligibility.
