Industrial, Mixed Media Shredder

The Indian Health Service seeks procurement of one industrial mixed-media shredder for the Gallup Indian Medical Center, with proposals due September 15, 2026. This is a 100% small business set-aside; only concerns meeting the 700-employee size standard under NAICS 333998 may compete.

Place of performance is Gallup, New Mexico (1808 W. Aztec Avenue). The shredder must process plastics, textiles, rubber items, flexible tubing, paper-based materials, and small non-ferrous components without pre-sorting, reduce materials into small uniform fragments to prevent reuse or reidentification, incorporate jam-mitigation capabilities, include physical safety barriers and emergency stop mechanisms, and fit within designated warehouse space with hand-loading and standard container collection capability. The system must operate within appropriate noise and vibration levels for indoor industrial settings. The Government specifies a Taskmaster Model TM1620 or equivalent.

Delivery and installation must occur within 12 to 14 weeks after award. The contractor shall furnish, deliver, install, test, and provide initial operator training covering safe operation, startup and shutdown procedures, routine maintenance, safety precautions, emergency procedures, and basic troubleshooting. The contractor must provide comprehensive documentation including operations manual, maintenance manual, safety instructions, preventive maintenance guidance, warranty documentation, and parts information. A manufacturer's standard warranty covering defects in material and workmanship for a minimum of twelve months after shipment is required. Government acceptance requires delivery of all components, successful installation, demonstrated operational capability, completed startup testing, completed operator training, and receipt of all required documentation.

Evaluation is based on technical capability and price. Quotes must be submitted electronically to Misty.Billy@ihs.gov. The contracting officer is Michelle A. James (point of contact: Misty Billy, 505-399-0177).
