The Indian Health Service (IHS) is soliciting responses to determine eligibility under the Buy Indian Act, which supports contracts for Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs). This document outlines the self-certification process for Offerors who must prove they meet the criteria of being an IEE with Indian ownership by providing a signed representation form. Eligibility must be maintained from the offer stage through the contract performance period, with immediate notification required if status changes. Successful Offerors also need to be registered in the System of Award Management (SAM). Falsifying information in this process can lead to serious legal repercussions. The emphasis on compliance reflects the IHS's commitment to supporting tribal businesses and ensuring adherence to federal regulations in public contracting.
The document outlines a performance work statement for a non-personal services contract requiring Diagnostic Radiologic Technologist CT support for the Crownpoint Service Unit of the Indian Health Service (IHS). The primary aim is to provide diagnostic radiologic/X-ray and computed tomographic services to fulfill health service requirements for the Navajo Nation and surrounding areas. The contractor will perform these services at the Crownpoint Healthcare Facility and is expected to be flexible with assignments, including emergency interventions.
Key responsibilities include conducting outpatient and inpatient imaging procedures, following established standards of care, and maintaining compliance with health regulations and IHS policies. The contract ranges from a six-month base period with four option periods, requiring contractors to have relevant certifications, experience, and to adhere to strict health and safety protocols, including background checks and medical liability insurance.
The document emphasizes professionalism, cultural awareness, and the importance of maintaining patient confidentiality and high service standards. It aligns with federal health objectives focusing on accessible health care for American Indians and Alaska Natives, reflecting IHS's commitment to delivering comprehensive health services.
