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 (CCHCF), has issued a Special Notice regarding their intent to award a sole source contract to the Arizona Department of Health Services. The contract will provide Phenylketonuria (PKU) screening services for newborn infants at the healthcare facility. This notice was posted on August 5, 2025, and falls under NAICS code 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) with a size standard of $19.0 million. The Indian Health Service has determined that Arizona Department of Health Services is the only organization uniquely qualified to provide these essential screening services. The anticipated contract period is one year from the date of award.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors that the government intends to proceed with a non-competitive procurement due to the unique qualifications of the proposed contractor and the critical nature of uninterrupted PKU screening services for patient care. Any responses challenging this sole source decision must be submitted by August 8, 2025, and must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. This is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation will be made available for competitive quotes. Contractors wishing to contest the sole source award must demonstrate that alternative providers exist who can deliver the same specialized newborn screening services without risking interruption to direct patient care. The government reserves the right to use any non-proprietary information received in future solicitations but is under no obligation to acknowledge or provide feedback on responses to this notice.
