About this opportunity
The Great Plains Area Indian Health Service has published a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract to procure M-System services for the Quentin N Burdick Memorial Health Care Facility in Belcourt, North Dakota. This special notice, posted on September 10, 2025, announces the agency's intention to award an 8(a) sole source, firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $42,024 for a one-year period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. The Indian Health Service, under the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking to justify this non-competitive procurement under FAR 6.302-1, citing that only one responsible source exists to satisfy their requirements. The contract will provide software, support services, and monthly licensing for inventory management of medical supplies and patient billing capabilities.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform potential contractors and the public of the agency's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for interested parties to challenge this determination. The facility requires the M-System exclusively because it is the only approved Area Wide system capable of managing their medical supply inventory and enabling patient billing for supplies. Contractors have until September 13, 2025, to submit responses that must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that sole source procurement would be advantageous to the government, cost-effective, and aligned with the agency's mission objectives. The notice specifically states this is not a request for quotes or proposals, and the government reserves sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with competitive procurement. Questions must be directed to Jody Keplin, the Purchasing Agent, exclusively via email, as phone calls and voicemails will not be accepted.
