About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service is conducting market research through this Sources Sought Notice to identify vendors capable of providing non-personal Digital Radiographic Technologist (DRT) services at Phoenix Indian Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The procurement encompasses mammography imaging services (2D and 3D Tomosynthesis) and computed tomography (CT) imaging services, including patient screening, positioning, quality assurance and control in accordance with MQSA and ACR standards, and accurate documentation in RPMS/EHR systems. Qualified contractors must demonstrate staffing capability, experience in diagnostic radiology services, and familiarity with applicable standards including MQSA, ACR, TJC, CMS, and IHS requirements. Personnel must hold current ARRT certification (with CT certification for CT technologists), MQSA certification for mammography technologists, and current BLS certification, with a minimum of one year of experience in digital radiology and diagnostic imaging. Interested vendors must submit responses not exceeding seven pages electronically to Dekovan Cook at Dekovan.Cook@ihs.gov with the subject line "DRT Services Sources Sought - PIMC" by April 28, 2026.
This procurement is designated as a Buy Indian Act set-aside with priority given to Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) under the Buy Indian Act, requiring offerors to self-certify their Indian Economic Enterprise eligibility. The contract structure includes a 12-month base year with four optional 12-month extension years, with no guaranteed minimum hours and payment based solely on actual hours worked at a firm-fixed hourly rate that is all-inclusive of holiday pay, shift differentials, weekends, and taxes. Mammography services operate day shifts (7:30 AM – 4:00 PM) while CT services require coverage across day, evening, and night shifts, typically scheduled 2–4 weeks in advance on an as-needed basis with no on-call requirements. The recommended NAICS code is 621512 (Diagnostic Imaging Centers) with a $19.0 million size standard, and the PSC code is Q522 (Radiology Services). No incumbent contractor or budget range information is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as this is market research to inform the Government's acquisition strategy and does not constitute a commitment to award a contract.
