About this opportunity
The Great Plains Area Indian Health Service (GPAIHS), Aberdeen, South Dakota, issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source purchase order to the South Dakota Department of Health (UEI: J84PKUEWQ6Y5) for off-site laboratory test services with a response deadline of May 26, 2026. The award is justified under FAR 6.103-1(b) on the basis that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The requirement covers communicable disease testing services for the Wagner IHS Healthcare Center in Wagner, South Dakota, with results reported to the State Department of Health. GPAIHS asserts that the South Dakota Department of Health's role as the state reporting entity reduces turnaround times and ensures uninterrupted patient care. The period of performance is one base year. Interested parties may submit responses demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, cost- and time-effective, and supportive of agency mission objectives. The government will consider responses solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement; however, the determination to sole source remains within the government's discretion. All costs associated with response preparation are the respondent's responsibility and will not be reimbursed. NAICS code 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services); PSC Q301 (Reference Laboratory Testing).
