About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS), Shiprock Service Unit, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to negotiate a single-sourced, firm-fixed-price contract with the Oregon Health Authority for newborn screening testing services. The contract opportunity is specifically for the Northern Navajo Medical Center, which currently lacks the capability to perform these essential screening services. The notice is classified under NAICS code 621511 with a small business size standard of $41.5M, and it pertains to medical laboratory testing. The Special Notice was posted on March 7, 2025, with a response deadline of March 12, 2025, and follows federal acquisition regulations for simplified acquisition procedures.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to procure newborn screening testing services through a direct, single-source contract with the Oregon Health Authority, which is deemed the only vendor capable of providing these specialized services. Contractors interested in challenging this single-source approach must submit clear and convincing evidence demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the government by 12:00 PM Mountain Standard Time on March 12, 2025. If no affirmative written responses are received by the deadline, the contract will be issued without further notice. The contract will be a firm-fixed-price arrangement, and vendors are explicitly warned that any responses received after the specified date and time will not be considered. Interested parties can contact Cornelius Tsipai, the Contract Specialist, via email at cornelius.tsipai@ihs.gov or by phone at (505) 368-6087 for any questions. The place of contract performance will be the Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico.
