About this opportunity

The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, specifically the Navajo Area Indian Health Service at Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility, has issued a Notice of Intent to Award for wheelchair procurement. This special notice announces the agency's intention to award a non-competitive, sole-source purchase order to Staxi Corporation for providing wheelchairs necessary for proper patient care and patient transportation. The procurement falls under NAICS code 423450 (Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers) with a small business size standard of 200 or fewer employees. The anticipated performance period involves a one-time delivery of equipment. The agency has determined that Staxi Corporation is the only organization uniquely qualified to provide the required services without interrupting direct patient care services.

The primary objective of this notice is to inform potential contractors that the government intends to proceed with a sole-source award rather than conducting a competitive procurement process. Interested parties have until August 15, 2025, to provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, though the agency emphasizes this is not a request for competitive proposals. The government reserves the right to proceed with the sole-source contract if no compelling responses are received by the deadline and is under no obligation to acknowledge or provide feedback on submitted information. Responses must not contain proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information, and any technical information provided may be used in future solicitations. The government maintains sole discretion in determining whether to conduct competitive procurement based on responses received, with any resulting competitive solicitation to be announced publicly through Federal Business Opportunities.
