About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS), under the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking a maintenance service agreement for Cepheid GeneXpert Molecular Diagnostic Instruments to support clinical laboratories at multiple Portland Area service units, including Fort Hall, Warm Springs, Western Oregon, and Yakama. This is a Sources Sought Notice—not a formal solicitation—with responses due by March 20, 2026. Prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), hold the appropriate NAICS code (334516), and submit capability statements that identify their business size status and authorization to provide manufacturer-authorized maintenance services. The government will use Buy Indian Act negotiation authority to give preference to Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs) whenever practicable. Respondents should include business name, point of contact information, UEI, NAICS code, and must complete Online Representations and Certifications. Interested parties will not be reimbursed for preparation costs, and any proprietary information submitted must be clearly marked.
The procurement carries no set-aside designation, though preference will be extended to qualified Indian Economic Enterprises under the Buy Indian Act. The requirement is structured as a firm-fixed-price contract with a one-year base period followed by up to four option years, providing a potential five-year performance period. The government anticipates issuing an interim extension of the existing purchase order to prevent service gaps, as the current maintenance agreement expires on March 31, 2026. No specific incumbent contractor name or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, which falls under PSC code J066 for maintenance and repair of laboratory equipment. Organizations that submit responses should be prepared to demonstrate manufacturer authorization and relevant experience supporting similar diagnostic instrument maintenance programs.
