About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service's Albuquerque Area Office is issuing a Sources Sought notice to identify qualified vendors for the replacement of a bulk oxygen tank system at Zuni Comprehensive Community Health Center (ZCCHC) in southwestern New Mexico. The procurement seeks vendors classified under NAICS Code 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing) to supply and install a new 1,500-gallon liquid oxygen bulk tank system with associated manifold control center, alarm panel, vaporizer, and related components. Key contractor qualifications include medical gas work personnel certified per NFPA 99 and ASSE 6010/6020 standards, licensed electricians for all electrical work, and properly licensed and certified crane operators compliant with OSHA requirements. This is a Request for Information (RFI) only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or obligation by the Government; rather, it serves as market research to determine if requirements can be met through either a 100% set-aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises or a 100% set-aside for small business concerns. Interested vendors must submit responses by February 5, 2026 at 3:00 PM that include SAM registration confirmation, company information with UEI number, socioeconomic status documentation, and a capability statement demonstrating ability to perform the required services.
The procurement is designated as a 100% set-aside for either Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) or small business concerns, with vendors required to submit proper representation documentation including the IHS Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form if claiming ISBEE status. The scope of work encompasses not only the removal of the existing bulk oxygen tank and installation of the new 1,500-gallon LOX system but also site preparation involving removal and replacement of the concrete pad, fencing installation, underground electrical and signal conduit infrastructure installation (approximately 70 feet of trench work), electrical and alarm system work, and comprehensive testing of all alarm signals. The contract requires contractors to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage and coordinate with the facility's Facilities Department regarding system shutdown, emergency backup systems, and Infection Control Risk Assessment measures. No specific award value or contract timeline is provided in the Sources Sought notice; however, the scope of work indicates a moderately complex project involving specialized labor, materials, and site preparation. Interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://sam.gov and maintain eligibility status throughout any resulting contract performance period.
