About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service's Kayenta Service Unit is conducting market research to identify potential sources for reagents, stains, and other laboratory-related supplies for the Inscription House Health Center in Shonto, Arizona. This pre-solicitation notice is issued under NAICS code 325413 (In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. The Indian Health Service, a component of the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking to determine its acquisition strategy, including competition approaches and set-aside options, as well as to identify Indian-owned economic enterprises for potential contracting opportunities. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in this market research notice, interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and must submit their company profile, capability statements, and socioeconomic status documentation by December 15, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. EDT to Charity Yellowhair-Gilbert at charity.yellowhair-gilbert@ihs.gov. This is a sources-sought synopsis for market research purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation; therefore, submission of information is purely voluntary and the government assumes no financial responsibility for response costs.
No set-aside designations have been applied to this requirement at this time, though the market research process will inform future set-aside determinations. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or current suppliers, nor does it specify an award value or budget range for the potential contract. Interested vendors should note that Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) status is of particular interest, as the IHS Buy Indian Act Representation Form included with this notice indicates the government's preference for businesses that are at least 51% owned by members of a Federally Recognized Tribal Entity. Vendors claiming such status must self-certify their eligibility and maintain compliance throughout the contract period, with false representations subject to penalties under federal law. The notice emphasizes that responses should include comprehensive company information including UEI, business size classification, socioeconomic status documentation (such as 8(a), WOSB/EDWOSB, SDVOSB, or HUBZone certifications), and current SAM.gov representations and certifications.
