About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS), a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is conducting market research to identify potential vendors to provide Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) services at Rosebud IHS Hospital in Rosebud, South Dakota. The procurement seeks a qualified LCSW to deliver crisis management care, referrals, and counseling services to patients at this 35-bed comprehensive medical/surgical facility serving the Rosebud Sioux tribal members. Key qualifications include a current, valid, unrestricted LCSW license; a minimum of 24 months of specialty experience; documentation of prior social work supervision; current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification; and a valid driver's license. Contractors must successfully utilize IHS information technology systems, comply with HIPAA and other federal regulations, execute a Business Associate Agreement, and demonstrate cultural awareness and sensitivity to American Indian and Alaska Native practices. Performance will be evaluated based on competency, compliance with IHS and The Joint Commission standards, patient outcomes, professionalism, credentialing, documentation quality, and overall service delivery.

This acquisition is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, and the IHS is specifically conducting market research to determine the availability of Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs) to assess whether a set-aside is feasible under the Fair and Open Competition Act. This is a Sources Sought Notice for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation, obligation, or commitment by the government to award a contract or provide compensation for responses. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed price, single-award purchase order with a one-year period of performance commencing after award, though the Performance Work Statement allows for flexibility to accommodate short-term (13-week), long-term (1-year), and intermittent support arrangements to meet unplanned needs. No incumbent contractor or award value is identified in this notice. Payment will be made via IPP.gov upon delivery of services in accordance with the Statement of Work, and the IHS may publish a formal solicitation on SAM.gov following review of responses to this market research notice.
