NNMC Satellite Television Services

The Northern Navajo Medical Center, operating under the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, is soliciting High-Definition satellite television services to support inpatient rooms and patient waiting areas at its 54-bed hospital facility in Shiprock, New Mexico. The contractor must provide monthly programming of 54 channels to support up to 300 television sets (accommodating current operations of 70 sets with planned expansion to 110 sets), maintain a 98% uptime service level agreement, respond to outages within 3.5 hours of notification, and integrate one locally produced in-house healthcare channel. Key requirements include third-party or direct satellite provider billing, remote troubleshooting and monitoring capabilities, HD connection at all television sets, and RF signal level review and balancing. Evaluation will be based on two factors: the offeror's technical capability to meet Statement of Work requirements and proposed pricing. The deadline for submitting questions is February 26, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. MST, and proposals are due on March 9, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time.

This acquisition is designated as a 100% small business set-aside, with no current incumbent satellite television service identified. The contract includes a 12-month base period from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, plus four optional 12-month renewal periods, extending the potential performance period through March 31, 2031. No specific budget range has been disclosed in the solicitation materials. The existing satellite infrastructure, headend system, and distribution cabling are already in place and owned by the facility, so the contractor will not be required to perform new installation work. The contracting officer is Jerlyn R. Begay, and the place of performance is Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, NM 87420, which operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, year-round.
