About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS), Bemidji Area, issued a notice of intent on July 14, 2026, to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Siemens Healthcare for service, maintenance, and reagent supply of a Rapidpoint 500e blood gas analyzer at Red Lake Hospital in Red Lake, Minnesota, with a response deadline of July 21, 2026. The estimated contract value is $84,329.60. IHS justifies sole-source procurement under FAR 13.501(a) because the analyzer (Serial number 68459, Functional location code 1010069) is government-owned, all supplies are proprietary to Siemens and cannot be interchanged with competing vendors, and all service must be performed by Siemens representatives. A Buy Indian Act deviation was approved because no Indian Economic Enterprises can furnish the required proprietary services and supplies. Interested parties may submit evidence of clear and convincing competitive alternatives, including technical capabilities demonstrating the ability to meet the Government's needs, to Purchasing Agent Winona Kitto at winona.kitto@ihs.gov. The acquisition falls under NAICS 621511 (Medical Laboratories) and PSC 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies). This notice is not a request for competitive quotes; responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether to pursue competitive procurement.
