The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the Indian Health Service's Navajo Area, intends to restrict competition for the procurement of automated dispensing cabinet systems and services at the Gallup Indian Medical Center in New Mexico. The contract will be negotiated exclusively with Carefusion Solutions LLC, as they currently provide these systems and a seamless integration with existing infrastructure is essential to meet Joint Commission requirements. This procurement is critical for maintaining operational efficiency and compliance within the medical center, with the base period of performance set for January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, and an option period extending through December 31, 2027. Interested vendors may submit capability statements to Rodney Brown at Rodney.Brown@ihs.gov by 10:00 AM (MST) on December 8, 2025, although this notice does not constitute a request for quotations.

The Indian Health Service, Navajo Area, Gallup Service Unit in Gallup, NM intends to restrict competition and negotiate an award with Carefusion Solutions LLC (UEI: E99HA2K3YTG8) for automated dispensing cabinet systems and services. The projected period of performance is:

Base Period: 1/1/2026-12/31/2026

Option Period One: 1/1/2027-12/31/2027

The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 532490- Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing with a Small Business Administration size standard of $40.0 million.

In accordance with RFO 12.102, for acquisitions valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold, competition will be restricted because Carefusion Solutions LLC currently provides automated dispensing cabinet systems across Gallup Indian Medical Center (GIMC) and a seamless integration with existing systems is required.
