About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS) Chinle Service Unit is seeking sources for an Alcor ISED Elite ESR analyzer (model 112-00222P) through a sources-sought notice issued on April 17, 2026. This market research notice is designed to identify capable Indian-owned economic enterprises—both large (IEE) and small (ISBEE)—as well as other qualified firms that can provide instrument placement on a cost-per-test basis, with supplies to be purchased as needed. The IHS will prioritize responses from Indian-owned enterprises under the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. 47) and will then consider set-aside opportunities under the Small Business Act (41 U.S.C. 3104). Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and submit responses by April 24, 2026, at 5:00 PM MST to Nora Nutlouis, Purchasing Agent, at nora.nutlouis@ihs.gov. Submissions must include company profile information containing the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), company name and address, primary point of contact details, business size, ownership type, and socio-economic status or program participation. The applicable NAICS code is 325413 (In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees.
This notice involves no set-aside designation at the initial stages, as the contracting officer will first evaluate responses for Buy Indian Act opportunities before considering small business set-asides. No current incumbents or incumbent contractors are identified in the notice. The procurement value and overall contract award amount are not specified in this sources-sought notice, as this is purely market research to inform the agency's acquisition strategy regarding competition, set-asides, and identification of Indian-owned economic enterprises. The requirement involves placement of a single Alcor ISED Elite ESR analyzer unit with supplies to be procured on an as-needed basis, though specific performance timelines or service delivery periods are not detailed in the notice. Submission of responses to this market survey is entirely voluntary, and the government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this request for information.
