About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS) has issued a sources sought notice to identify qualified vendors for a comprehensive CISCO Video Teleconferencing (VTC) Equipment Upgrade at their Rockville Headquarters facility. The procurement involves supplying and installing modern Cisco collaboration equipment across multiple conference rooms of varying sizes, including Board Pro displays, Room Kit EQ systems, 4K cameras, microphone arrays, and Navigator touch panels that will integrate with the IHS Webex Call Control Hub. Vendors must be CISCO authorized resellers operating under NAICS code 541519 (Information Technology Value Added Resellers) with a size standard of 150 employees, and must demonstrate capability to warehouse, kit, and deliver equipment through the IHS inspection facility at 5600 Fishers Lane. The government will evaluate responses based on the submitted capability statements, CISCO authorized reseller status, and compliance with Buy Indian Act requirements. Interested parties must submit their responses via email to Javier.medina-velazquez@ihs.gov by 10:00am EST on June 24, 2025, referencing solicitation number 75H70425Q00026, with submissions limited to five pages maximum.
This opportunity is specifically set aside under the Buy Indian Act for Indian Economic Enterprises (IEE) and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE), reflecting IHS's statutory obligation to give preference to Indian-owned businesses under 25 U.S.C. 47. The equipment list contains over 500 line items of sophisticated Cisco networking and collaboration technology, suggesting a substantial procurement value, though no specific budget range has been disclosed. The project timeline is estimated at six weeks for completion, with contractors required to store systems for up to 90 days as part of the warehousing and delivery requirements. No incumbent contractor information has been provided in the notice, indicating this may represent a new procurement initiative or significant upgrade to existing systems. The comprehensive scope includes everything from large 75-inch displays to detailed mounting hardware and service contracts, demonstrating the government's commitment to modernizing its video conferencing infrastructure with current-generation technology.
