The Navajo Area Indian Health Service, Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility (CCHCF), intends to award a non-competitive, sole source purchase order to Tryco Inc., a Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB) based in McLean, Virginia. The purpose of this procurement is to deliver and install the Bioness Integrated Therapy System (BITS) equipment in the CCHCF Physical Rehabilitation Services - Occupational Therapy Department.

The Navajo Area Indian Health Service has determined that Tryco Inc. is eligible for this sole-source contract as a WOSB concern.
