Notice of Intent to Award – Multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements - Diagnostic Laboratory Testing

The Navajo Area Indian Health Service, Gallup Service Unit, operating under the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, has published a Notice of Intent to Award for multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreements focused on diagnostic laboratory testing services. This Special Notice, posted on December 16, 2025, indicates the agency's intention to establish BPAs with Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Center, the State of New Mexico, and Tricore to provide laboratory testing with an eighteen-hour turnaround time. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) with a small business size standard of $19.0 million. The anticipated contract period is one year from the date of award, and services will be provided on an as-needed basis. This Notice of Intent is not a formal request for quotations, and no solicitation will be issued.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to inform capable vendors of the government's intent to establish multiple BPAs and to invite additional qualified sources to submit capability statements, price lists, and catalogs for potential future awards. Interested vendors must submit their materials via email only to the point of contact by December 31, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. MST to be considered for a BPA if additional agreements are deemed necessary. While no set-aside has been designated and any qualified firm meeting the government's requirements may participate, the current multiple-award BPAs with the three identified vendors are considered sufficient to provide maximum practicable competition at this time. Additional BPAs may be established in the future only if the Gallup Service Unit's needs change, and capable vendors from this submission may be contacted and requested to establish an agreement with the government.
