NNMC, Request for three (3) Non-PSC ACD Registered Nurse Services

The Indian Health Service (IHS), under the Department of Health and Human Services, is soliciting proposals for non-personal healthcare nursing services to support three (3) Ambulatory Care Registered Nurses (RNs) at the Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico. Contractors must possess a minimum of 36 months of nursing experience, a current state nursing license, and specific certifications including BLS, PALS, ATCN/TNCC, and ACLS, along with medical evaluations, immunization documentation, and background clearances. The solicitation emphasizes cultural sensitivity, professional standards, and compliance with detailed performance metrics outlined in the Performance Work Statement. Evaluation will be based on technical capability, key personnel qualifications, period of performance schedule, past performance, and price, with the IHS employing a comprehensive Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) to monitor contractor performance across patient care, compliance, documentation, and professionalism indicators. Proposals are due January 20, 2026, with a posting date of January 7, 2026.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-away for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises, requiring bidders to self-certify their Indian Economic Enterprise status in accordance with the Buy Indian Act and maintain this qualification throughout contract performance. One contractor position requires a 1-year commitment with a base period of six months (February 9, 2026 to August 8, 2026) plus four optional 6-month renewal periods extending potentially to August 8, 2028, while two contractor positions require a 6-month base period only. Each position includes 1,040 labor hours per period, with the contractor bearing the risk of exceeding estimated values under this labor-hour contract structure. The procurement specifically mandates that key personnel submitted by multiple offerors will not be forwarded for evaluation, ensuring unique personnel assignments across winning contractors. Services will be performed at the Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico 87420.
