About this opportunity
The Great Plains Area Indian Health Service has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for Electronic Dental Record (EDR) license maintenance and technical support services. The agency plans to award a one-year, firm fixed-price non-personal service purchase order to Henry Schein One Practice Solutions for services supporting the Standing Rock Dental Department. The contract period will run from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, with a total estimated value under $9,000.

Henry Schein Practice Solutions Inc. has been identified as the sole distributor and manufacturer of the specific EDR license maintenance and technical support services versions currently used by the Indian Health Service.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide transparency regarding the agency's intent to proceed with a sole source procurement while allowing potential contractors to respond if they believe they can provide equivalent services. Interested parties have until August 5, 2025, to submit responses that demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that a sole source arrangement would be advantageous to the government, cost-effective, and supportive of the agency's standardization objectives.
