Notice of Intent to Award - Omnicell Oral and Vial Dispensers

The Navajo Area Indian Health Service's Kayenta Health Center in Kayenta, Arizona, issued a Notice of Intent to Award on March 2, 2026, announcing its intention to conduct a sole source procurement with Omnicell, Inc. for medical pharmacy dispensing equipment. This Special Notice was published by the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, a civilian federal agency. The procurement concerns Omnicell CSD Oral Dispensers and Vial Dispensers required by the facility's Pharmacy Department. The award will be made on a non-competitive, firm-fixed-price basis under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. This notice explicitly states that it is not a solicitation or request for offers, but rather an announcement of the government's procurement intent.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide potential alternative sources with an opportunity to demonstrate capability before the government awards the contract exclusively to Omnicell, Inc. based on an existing exclusive service agreement. Interested contractors must submit a capability statement via electronic mail to Ms. Charity Yellowhair-Gilbert, Contract Specialist, at charity.yellowhair-gilbert@ihs.gov by 10:00 a.m. EST on Thursday, March 12, 2026, which serves as the sole deadline for submission. Only written capability statements are acceptable; oral communications will not be considered. The government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of submissions or provide feedback to respondents. The determination to proceed with the non-competitive award or conduct a competitive procurement based on received responses remains solely within the government's discretion, though no solicitation will be issued regardless of the decision.
