About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service's Kayenta Health Center is conducting market research to identify prospective sources for blood gas supplies specifically designed for Werfen's GEM Premier 5000 blood gas testing system. This pre-solicitation notice, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, seeks to gather information about potential vendors' capabilities and qualifications prior to formal solicitation. Interested parties must submit responses by March 11, 2026, at 5:00 PM MST to Flora Washington at flora.washington@ihs.gov with the subject line "SSN - Blood Gas Supplies for GEM Premier 5000, IHS1522430." The submission requirements include a comprehensive company profile containing the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), company name and address, primary point of contact information, business size and ownership type, socio-economic status, SAM.gov registrations and certifications, and a statement of the company's capability to perform the work. This is classified under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees, and the applicable Product Service Code is 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies). It is important to note that this is market research only and not a formal solicitation; therefore, submission of information is entirely voluntary, and the government assumes no financial responsibility for costs incurred in responding.
This pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a set-aside designation, meaning the eventual contract will be open to all qualified vendors regardless of socio-economic status, though the government is actively seeking to identify Indian-owned economic enterprises and will consider socio-economic participation factors in developing its acquisition strategy. No incumbent contractor or current award value has been identified in this notice. The scope does not specify quantities of blood gas supplies needed, service timelines, or estimated contract values, as this is purely a sources-sought notice for market research purposes. All respondents are required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) at the time of any future offer or quotation submission to comply with annual representations and certifications requirements. The information gathered from this market research will inform the Contracting Office's decisions regarding competition strategy, potential set-asides, and outreach to Indian-owned economic enterprises for the eventual formal solicitation.
