Notice of Intent - BPAs for the Dental Department at the IHHC

The Navajo Area Indian Health Service, Inscription House Health Center (IHHC) in Tonalea, Arizona, has published a Notice of Intent to establish multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for dental supplies procurement. The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service issued this Special Notice on February 18, 2026, for the procurement of various dental supplies including impression trays, adhesives, sponges, personal protective equipment, and anesthetic agents on an as-needed basis. Two vendors have been identified for these BPAs: Lakota Enterprises, Inc. and First Nations Distribution, LLC. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 339114 (Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 750 employees. The agreement will cover a base year from March 15, 2026, through March 14, 2027, with two optional one-year renewal periods extending through March 14, 2029.

This Special Notice is limited to Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises under the Buy Indian Act, and the government has determined that the identified BPAs constitute maximum practicable competition. Interested vendors who believe they can fulfill the government's requirements must submit capability statements, price lists, and catalogs via email to the point of contact by March 5, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. EST. All prospective offerors must demonstrate eligibility as an Indian Economic Enterprise with 51% Indian ownership and maintain this status throughout the submission, award, and performance periods as certified through the IHS Buy Indian Act representation form. Vendors must also be registered in the System of Award Management (SAM) prior to award. While this notice does not constitute a request for quotations and no formal solicitation will be issued, the government reserves the right to contact capable vendors and request establishment of additional BPAs if deemed in the government's best interest.
