About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS), Shiprock Service Unit is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a Staff Duress and Infant Protection System, which includes duress buttons, associated hardware, user training, and software maintenance. This pre-solicitation notice is seeking information from qualified vendors in the Security Systems Services sector, with a NAICS code of 561621 and a small business size standard of $25.0 million. Interested companies must submit responses by February 21, 2025, at 3:00 PM MST to Margaret Shirley, with a required submission package that includes a comprehensive company profile, Universal Entity Identifier (UEI), contact information, business size, ownership type, socio-economic status, and a brief capability statement. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and can optionally demonstrate relevant past performance or existing contract schedules. The government emphasizes that this is not a formal solicitation, but a market research effort to determine the acquisition strategy, including potential competition and set-aside considerations.
No specific set-aside has been designated for this opportunity, though the IHS is particularly interested in identifying Indian-owned economic enterprises. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify a precise award value or budget range for the duress button system. Vendors claiming Indian-owned Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) or Indian-owned Economic Enterprise (IEE) status are required to complete a specific representation form, which mandates maintaining eligibility throughout the offer, award, and contract performance periods. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted, and no feedback will be provided to participating companies regarding their submissions. The procurement is for the Shiprock Service Unit, which suggests a localized implementation of the duress and infant protection system, though specific quantities or deployment timelines are not detailed in the current notice.
