About this opportunity
The Navajo Area Indian Health Service intends to restrict competition and negotiate directly with Werfen USA LLC for Echo Lumena Analyzer repair and support services and reagents at Gallup Indian Medical Center in Gallup, New Mexico, with responses due August 21, 2026 by 3:00 pm MDT.

Werfen is also the exclusive source for compatible reagents and maintenance services required to keep the analyzer operational. NAIHS is not issuing a solicitation. Vendors capable of providing the stated services may submit capability statements in writing by the August 21 deadline; verbal responses will not be considered. The Government will use responses solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The period of performance is one year from award date. NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) applies, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. Contact Misty Billy, Contract Specialist, at misty.billy@ihs.gov.
