KHC Security Guard Shack Modifications

The Indian Health Service Kayenta Service Unit is conducting market research through this pre-solicitation notice to identify qualified contractors for the modification of a security guard shack at the Kayenta Health Center in Kayenta, Arizona. The project involves replacing an existing 6-foot by 10-foot Guardian Booth with a Level 3 ballistic-proof security guard booth, including ballistic-proof glass windows, door, and panels, along with electrical work and the installation of eight removable steel bollards capable of stopping a 5,000-pound vehicle at 30 miles per hour in compliance with ASTM F2656 standards. Interested parties must submit responses by March 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. MST to Daisha Richards at Daisha.Richards@ihs.gov with the subject line "SSN - KHC Modification of security Booth, IHS1523318." Submissions must include a comprehensive company profile containing UEI, business information, SAM.gov registrations, socioeconomic status documentation, and Native American ownership identification if applicable, along with a statement of capability and demonstration of relevant past performance on similar projects. This notice explicitly states that no evaluation criteria have been established, as the government is purely gathering market research information to develop its contracting strategy, including determining appropriate competition levels and set-aside eligibility.

This procurement is issued with no set-aside designation at this time, though the government is actively evaluating whether Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) set-aside eligibility or other socioeconomic set-asides may be appropriate based on market research responses. No incumbent contractor or award value has been identified in the pre-solicitation materials provided. The project scope includes removal of the existing booth, electrical power disconnection and reconnection, furnishing and installation of materials, and compliance with all applicable codes including NFPA regulations and NEC standards, with work to be performed during standard business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. The contractor must provide a one-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer equipment warranty upon completion, and the period of performance commences immediately upon award. All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) prior to submission and maintain their representations and certifications throughout the procurement process.
