SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE / REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) PURPOSE This is a Sources Sought Notice and Request for Information (RFI) issued for market research purposes only.

This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, quotations, or offers and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to award a contract or otherwise pay for information submitted in response to this notice.

Pursuant to 48 CFR Part 326, Subpart 326.603-3 and IHM 5.5-6, the Indian Health Service (IHS) must use the authority of the Buy Indian Act, 25 U.S.C. § 47, to give preference to Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs) whenever the use of that authority is authorized and practicable.

The Government is seeking to identify Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs), Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs), and other categories of vendors capable of performing the requirement described below.

Interested vendors are requested to submit a capability statement and the attached Buy Indian Act Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form.

Consistent with Buy Indian Act regulations, HHS/IHS has adopted the definition of an Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) set forth in 48 CFR 1480.201.

This definition includes, among other requirements, that the Indians or Indian Tribes must, together, receive at least a majority of the earnings from the contract.

The Government is also releasing a Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) for industry review and comment.

Interested parties are encouraged to provide recommendations, identify ambiguities or inconsistencies, suggest improvements, and provide any other feedback that may assist the Government in refining the requirement and acquisition strategy.

Responses to this RFI will be used solely for market research and acquisition planning purposes.

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
