This is a sole source procurement being awarded to Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP) under NAICS code 811210 (Medical and surgical equipment repair and maintenance services) by the Phoenix Area Office. The government is issuing this notice under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(2), which permits solicitation from a single source. The estimated total contract value is $181,927.20, and the procurement will be funded through Operations and Maintenance Appropriations (OMA) funds. This is not a request for quotes or proposals but rather a notification of the government's intent to award to ASP as the sole responsible source.

The primary objective of this procurement is to ensure the continued operational capability of the sterilization equipment critical to the medical center's operating rooms and dental clinics through comprehensive preventative maintenance and emergency repair services. Interested parties may submit a capability statement by email to Kerri.Gilmore@ihs.gov referencing notice number IHS1519551, with the deadline set for December 24, 2025.

While the government retains discretion to compete the contract based on received capability statements, ASP was identified as the only responsible source capable of providing OEM maintenance services and parts for these specific sterilization systems.
