About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS), specifically the Shiprock Service Unit, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a single-sourced, firm-fixed-price contract to San Juan Regional Medical Center, Inc. for laboratory testing services. This notice pertains to a procurement that will support the Northern Navajo Medical Center's laboratory needs, with the selected vendor serving as the primary and backup testing facility. The contract falls under NAICS code 622110, which has an associated small business size standard of $47.0M. The notice was posted on March 7, 2025, with a response deadline of March 13, 2025, and is being handled by Contract Specialist Cornelius Tsipai from the Department of Health and Human Services.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure essential laboratory testing services through a single-source procurement method, justified by the vendor being the only capable provider of these specific testing services. The IHS is proceeding under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which allows for single-source solicitation when only one source is reasonably available. Contractors interested in challenging this procurement must submit clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government by 12:00 PM Mountain Standard Time on March 13, 2025. If no affirmative written responses are received by the deadline, the contract will be issued without further notice. The place of contract performance will be the Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico. Potential respondents are advised that any submissions received after the specified date and time will not be considered, and questions can be directed to Cornelius Tsipai via email or phone.
