The contractor must supply all necessary parts, labor, tools, and equipment, following the original equipment manufacturer's recommendations and compliance with Medicare and Medicaid services. Additionally, the contractor must ensure that equipment is returned clean and warrant services for 30 days post-acceptance. This notice is a sources sought notice, aimed solely at market research to ensure compliance with the Buy Indian Act, rather than a solicitation. Interested businesses, particularly Indian Economic Enterprises (IEE) and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE), are encouraged to provide detailed qualification information to assess the potential for competition. The document outlines the necessary qualifications, including self-certification of eligibility and identification of associated cultural entities. The government aims to utilize IEE and ISBEE vendors to support economic growth within Indian communities while ensuring all contractors meet the required obligations before a formal contract award.

The Phoenix Indian Medical Center (PIMC) seeks a contractor for comprehensive preventive maintenance and repair services for two Stryker Neptune 3 Rovers and one Neptune 2 Docking Station used in its Surgical Suite.

The contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary parts, labor, and tools, and must ensure that the equipment is returned clean after service. Additionally, the contractor must provide a direct service line for emergencies and next-day on-site responses. Training and certification of field service engineers are also required.

The contract's terms and any negotiations are managed exclusively by the designated contracting officer. This initiative aims to maintain high healthcare service standards for approximately 140,000 Native Americans served by PIMC.

The Indian Health Service (IHS) under the Department of Health & Human Services is soliciting self-certifications from Offerors regarding their status as “Indian Economic Enterprises” in accordance with the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. 47). The self-certification must confirm that the Offeror meets the defined eligibility criteria at three key stages: during the offer submission, at the contract award, and throughout the contract's performance. Should the Offeror cease to meet these requirements at any point, immediate notification to the Contracting Officer is mandated. The document also specifies that individual Contracting Officers may require further proof of eligibility prior to awarding set-aside contracts, and that any false information submitted can result in legal penalties under various U.S. Codes, reinforcing the seriousness of accurate representation. Successful Offerors must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM). The form requires detailed information regarding ownership and compliance, establishing responsibility and accountability in the procurement process for enterprises seeking government contracts. This process is vital to support economic development among Indian communities through adherence to federal regulations.
