About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, specifically the Navajo Area Indian Health Service at Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to PROAIM Americas LLC. The contract involves providing preventive maintenance agreement services for Carl Zeiss Optometry Equipment used in the facility's BIO-MED and Optometry Departments. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811210 with a small business size standard of $34.0 million and is valued as a non-competitive purchase order. The anticipated contract period includes a base year with an additional one-year option period. This notice serves as advance notification of the agency's intention to proceed with a sole source award rather than conducting a competitive procurement process.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide transparency regarding the agency's decision to award the contract non-competitively, citing that PROAIM Americas LLC is uniquely qualified as the sole authorized small business government distributor for Carl Zeiss Meditec products. Interested parties have until August 8, 2025, to submit responses that demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the government, though the agency emphasizes this is not a request for competitive proposals. The government reserves complete discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source award based on any responses received. Contractors should note that responses to this notice will not be considered adequate responses to any future solicitation, and no proprietary or sensitive information should be included in submissions. The agency has indicated that if no compelling responses are received by the deadline, the sole source contract will proceed without further notice.
