About this opportunity

The Indian Health Service issued a notice of intent to sole source a contract to Johns Hopkins University for peer-to-peer immunization training and curriculum deployment, with responses due by November 6, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.103-1, predicated on the intended source's prior development of the underlying training program. The contract will fund Johns Hopkins to tailor its existing immunization training program for healthcare providers, create culturally responsive and evidence-informed curriculum, evaluate outcomes, and disseminate materials to healthcare professionals serving American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The anticipated performance period is twelve months from award. While this notice is not a solicitation, interested parties that believe they can meet the requirement may submit a capability statement; responses received within fifteen days of issuance will be considered in the Government's determination whether to conduct competitive procurement instead. The Government retains sole discretion to reject the sole-source approach and compete the requirement. Responses should be emailed to Contract Specialist Natasha Bitsoi at Natasha.Bitsoi@ihs.gov. The Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt or provide feedback.
