About this opportunity
The Navajo Area Indian Health Service at Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility (CCHCF) issued a Notice of Intent to Award on February 5, 2026, announcing a sole-source procurement to CareFusion Solutions LLC for Pyxis Automated Dispensing Systems to manage controlled drugs and medication services. This special notice, published by the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, is a non-competitive award notification rather than a competitive solicitation. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. CareFusion Solutions LLC, owned by Becton Dickinson and Company, has been identified as the only organization uniquely qualified to provide these services due to its exclusive manufacturer status for Pyxis products and authorization to provide installation and maintenance services. The government has justified the sole-source approach based on existing on-site equipment currently in use and the need to prevent service interruption that could impact direct patient care at CCHCF and connected facilities.
The contract period runs from May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027, with four one-year renewal options available. The scope of work encompasses procurement, delivery, and installation of automated dispensing systems for the Outpatient Pharmacy Department and expansion to multiple clinical departments including Podiatry, Specialty Care, Internal Medicine, Family Practice, Pediatrics, Women's Health, and Anesthesia, with all installation work required to be completed within six months of contract start. Interested parties have until February 19, 2026 to respond with clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, though this notice is not a request for competitive proposals. The contractor must provide comprehensive maintenance services including preventive maintenance twice yearly, 24/7/365 technical support, on-site field service, and staff training, with monthly invoicing based on firm fixed-price terms. Offerors must comply with accessibility standards including Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 requirements and submit an HHS Section 508 Product Assessment Template as part of their response.
