Presolicitation Notice: Fire Alarm Testing and Inspection-ISBEE set-aside

The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service intends to procure fire alarm testing and inspection services for multiple healthcare facilities across North and South Dakota through solicitation number 75H70626Q00113. The services fall under the Security Systems Services category (NAICS 561621, PSC 6350) and involve quality control, testing, and inspection of alarm and security detection systems. Eligible contractors must meet the small business size standard of $25 million in annual revenue for this industry classification. The presolicitation notice was posted on March 12, 2026, with an anticipated solicitation release date of March 19, 2026 and a closing date of March 9, 2026, providing interested parties with a one-week window to submit questions or express interest before the formal solicitation is issued.

This contract opportunity is designated as a 100% Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-aside, restricting competition exclusively to Indian-owned small businesses. The solicitation will cover fire alarm inspection and testing services at thirteen separate Indian Health Service locations, including hospitals and health centers throughout North and South Dakota such as Pine Ridge Hospital, Ft. Yates Hospital, and the Cheyenne River Health Center. No incumbent contractor or specific award value is identified in this presolicitation notice, though the scope of work spanning multiple facilities suggests a contract of meaningful financial significance. Interested ISBEE-qualified contractors should prepare their capabilities and past performance documentation during the presolicitation period to ensure readiness for submission when the formal solicitation is released on March 19, 2026.
