NNMC: Lease of Mobile Sterile Processing Unit

The Indian Health Service seeks a lease of a mobile sterile processing unit for Northern Navajo Medical Center, with proposals due October 1, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 532120 with a size standard of $47 million.

Place of performance is Shiprock, New Mexico (US Highway 491 North, Shiprock, NM 87420). The contractor must deliver, install, commission, and maintain a fully operational expandable mobile sterile processing unit measuring approximately 75 feet in length by 30 feet in width by 15 feet in height, featuring dual anterooms, two steam sterilizers, washers/disinfectors, low-temperature sterilization systems, water treatment equipment, and HVAC systems. All utility infrastructure connections—including 277/480V three-phase electrical service (2 x 250 Amp), cold and hot water supplies, wastewater connections with sump pump systems, fire suppression and alarm systems, telecommunications, and heating/cooling packages—must comply with OSHA, NFPA, NEC, CMS, CDC, ANSI/AAMI, and Joint Commission standards. Process water must comply strictly with ANSI/AAMI Standard 108. The contractor is responsible for comprehensive site assessments, detailed design and workflow diagrams, functional performance testing with government witnessing (14 days advance notice required), operator training, quarterly preventive maintenance with all costs bundled into contract price, semi-annual quality control evaluations, four-hour repair call acknowledgment with 24-hour service initiation, and decommissioning and removal costs included in base year and each option-year price. All on-site activities must occur during off-hours or weekends.

The contract consists of one base year (November 1, 2026–October 31, 2027) plus four optional one-year renewal periods, not to exceed five years total. Evaluation weighs technical capability to meet performance work statement requirements, compatibility with NNMC utility and water quality requirements, adherence to period of performance schedule, and price. Amendment 0003 (September 22) extended the closing date to October 1, 2026, and provided responses to offeror questions and a revised Statement of Work with tracked changes.
