About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS), a civilian agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking a fully operational mobile CT scanner for the Blackfeet Community Hospital in Browning, Montana. The procurement involves a 64-slice Computer Tomography scanner in a mobile trailer capable of performing comprehensive diagnostic imaging procedures, including abdominal, spine, head, lung, and extremity scans. The contract requires an FDA-approved system that interfaces with VistA Imaging and VistA Rad, meets specific technical specifications, and maintains 98% monthly uptime with 24/7 operational readiness. Interested contractors must submit a detailed capability statement by March 21, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. PST, demonstrating experience in providing backup medical equipment and compliance with contract requirements. Evaluation will focus on technical capabilities, past performance, and strict adherence to Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) qualifications.
The opportunity is specifically set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises, with strict requirements that the Indian-owned business must receive at least 51% of contract earnings and have management controlled by one or more Indian individuals. The initial contract period is six months, with an option to extend for an additional six months in thirty-day increments. The procurement follows NAICS code 621512 for Diagnostic Imaging Centers, with a size standard of $19.0 million. Contractors must provide comprehensive services including full-service maintenance, OEM parts replacement, technical support, on-site emergency repair, and two days of clinical training for CT technologists. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the contract will involve a monthly all-inclusive rate for the mobile CT scanner, with potential financial penalties for system downtime exceeding performance standards.
