PIMC Medical Gas Equipment Preventative Maintenance

The Indian Health Service, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking sources for preventative maintenance, corrective maintenance, and emergency repair services for medical gas equipment at Phoenix Indian Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona. This sources sought notice is market research to determine compliance with the Buy Indian Act and to establish set-aside eligibility, rather than a formal request for quote. The requirement mandates that all work comply with NFPA 99 (2012) standards for medical gas systems. Prospective vendors must demonstrate relevant qualifications through a capability statement and provide company information including DUNS numbers, Tax IDs, and current SAM registration with active representations and certifications. Responses to this sources sought notice are due by February 27, 2026, and interested parties should contact Dale C Clark for submission details and additional information.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs) and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) under the Buy Indian Act, with the Indian Health Service prioritizing purchases to these designated entities to the maximum extent possible. Prospective contractors must complete the IHS Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form to self-certify eligibility, including identification of the federally recognized Indian tribe or Alaska Native Corporation supporting their IEE status and confirmation of 51% Indian ownership as defined in HHSAR 326.601. Contractors must maintain their eligible status at three critical points: at time of offer submission, at contract award, and throughout the full performance period, with any loss of eligibility requiring immediate written notification to the Contracting Officer. The pre-solicitation notice does not disclose a specific contract award value or estimated budget range for this medical gas equipment maintenance requirement. The NAICS code for this procurement is 333912 (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing).
