About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS), Shiprock Service Unit, located in Four Corners Regional Health Center in Red Mesa, Arizona, has issued a Special Notice regarding a potential sole source contract for telecommunications services. The notice specifically indicates an intent to negotiate directly with Navajo Communications Co. Inc. for providing telecommunication services to the health center. The contract falls under NAICS code 517111 with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The proposed contract has a base period of 12 months with four potential option years, each also lasting 12 months. The notice is being processed in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12 and 13, which allow for single-source procurement under specific circumstances.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide transparency about the potential sole source award and invite potential alternative sources to submit capability statements. Contractors interested in being considered must submit their capability statements via electronic email by 2:00 PM MDT on May 2, 2025, with Cornelius Tsipai (Cornelius.Tsipai@ihs.gov) designated as the point of contact. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the requirement based on received responses. While the notice emphasizes Navajo Communications Co. Inc. as the current service provider, it leaves open the possibility of competition if other qualified sources demonstrate capability. The telecommunications services are critical to maintaining hospital operations, and the contract will be awarded under simplified acquisition procedures. Potential contractors should note that this notice is not a request for quotations, and the government will use the submitted information primarily to assess whether to proceed with a single-source or competitive procurement.
