About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS), Albuquerque Area Office, has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract for Starlink Fixed Priority Satellite Internet Service and Equipment to the Jicarilla Service Unit located in Dulce, New Mexico. The contract is intended to be awarded to EnerStar Rentals and Service LTD (UEI: LHPYNVCAM2V4) under a firm-fixed price arrangement. This special notice was posted on December 2, 2025, with a comment deadline of December 10, 2025. The IHS is pursuing this sole source contracting action pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, citing that only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's requirements based on market research.

The contract will operate on a base year plus four option years structure, with performance running from December 15, 2025, through December 14, 2030. Interested parties may submit comments and clear, convincing evidence demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the Government, cost-effective, timely, and supportive of the agency's mission objectives by the December 10, 2025, deadline. The Government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with the sole source award or conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received.
