Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) for CCHCF Audiology - Hearing Aids/Accessories

The Navajo Area Indian Health Service at Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility in Chinle, Arizona has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreements for hearing aids and accessories. The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service published this special notice on February 2, 2026. The procurement targets vendors capable of supplying hearing aids and related supplies under NAICS code 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), which carries a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The notice indicates the government's intent to award BPAs to three or four vendors, including WS Audiology USA, Inc., Sonova USA Inc., GN Hearing Care Corporation dba Resound, and potentially Oticon, Inc. This is a special notice designed to solicit feedback from alternative vendors before the government makes its final award decision.

Interested contractors have until February 14, 2026 at 12:00 PM MST to submit their capability statements, price lists, and catalogs via email to demonstrate their ability to fulfill the government's requirements. The anticipated performance period for the BPAs is one year from the date of award, and no further awards are anticipated unless the facility's needs change materially. Any vendor not currently identified as a prospective awardee is eligible to submit a response and request consideration for the competitive procurement. Responses submitted to this notice will not be treated as adequate submissions to any future solicitation; however, the government will use the information gathered to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement process. The government expressly reserves the right to utilize any non-proprietary technical information provided in future solicitations and retains full discretion to proceed with or without competition based on the responses received.
