The Billings Area Indian Health Service has published a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract to Data Innovations LLC for Instrument Manager Support Services. This special notice was posted on April 22, 2026, with a deadline of April 27, 2026, for interested parties to submit capabilities statements. The contract falls under NAICS code 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and is being awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 6.302-1, which permits sole source awards when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The contracting officer for this notice is Mitzi Horn at the Indian Health Service. This announcement serves as notification of the agency's intent to award to a specific vendor rather than as a competitive solicitation.

The primary objective of this sole source contract is to provide Instrument Manager Maintenance and Support Services to the Billings Area Service Unit Locations in Montana, with performance scheduled from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, plus four optional renewal periods. While this is not a competitive request, interested parties may submit a written statement of capabilities demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the government, and such statements must be submitted by April 27, 2026, as a PDF attachment to mitzi.horn@ihs.gov. The selected contractor must maintain the infrastructure necessary to ensure uninterrupted patient care throughout the contract period. All costs associated with preparing and submitting a capabilities statement are the sole responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed by the government. There are no set-asides for this contract, and only email submissions will be accepted; telephone requests will not be honored.
