The Indian Health Service, operating under the Department of Health and Human Services, has published a Notice of Intent to Award for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Fisher Healthcare. The award concerns the supply of laboratory and medical equipment to the Navajo Area Indian Health Service, Shiprock Service Unit, Four Corners Regional Health Center in Teec Nos Pos, Arizona.

The applicable NAICS code is 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 800 employees. This Notice of Intent indicates the government's preliminary decision to award to Fisher Healthcare while remaining open to additional qualified vendors.

The BPA will operate on an as-needed basis with a base period of one year from the award date, followed by four consecutive 12-month renewal periods for a total contract duration of up to five years. 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 no later than December 13, 2025 at 10:00 AM MST. There are no specific eligibility restrictions beyond the ability to supply the required products and services; however, vendors must be capable of meeting the outlined specifications. If the government determines that additional BPAs would better serve its interests, capable vendors may be contacted to establish supplemental agreements. This notice does not constitute a formal request for quotations, and no subsequent solicitation will be issued.
