About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS), operating under the Department of Health and Human Services, has published a Notice of Intent to Restrict Competition for automated dispensing cabinet systems and services at the Four Corners Regional Health Center (FCRHC) located in Teec Nos Pos, Arizona. The IHS intends to negotiate a single-source award with Carefusion Solutions LLC (UEI: E99HA2K3YTG8) rather than open the procurement to competitive bidding. This special notice was posted on December 8, 2025, and covers two separate contract periods with different deadlines and durations. The applicable NAICS code is 532490 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing), with a Small Business Administration size standard of $40.0 million. The restriction of competition is justified based on the need for seamless integration with existing systems and compliance with Joint Commission requirements.
The IHS is restricting competition under Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.102 because Carefusion Solutions LLC currently provides the automated dispensing cabinet systems at FCRHC, and switching vendors could disrupt operations and jeopardize the facility's ability to meet Joint Commission profiling requirements. Interested vendors may submit a written capability statement demonstrating their ability to provide the required services; verbal responses will not be accepted. For the first contract period (1/1/2026–12/31/2026), capability statements must be submitted by 10:00 AM MST on December 23, 2025, while for the second period (2/1/2026–1/31/2027 with three one-year options), submissions are due by 10:00 AM MST on January 22, 2026. All responses must be emailed to Misty.Billy@ihs.gov. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with the single-source award or conduct a competitive solicitation based on the responses received.
