Academic Detailing Services

The Indian Health Service is forecasting an opportunity for academic detailing and medical writing services to support public health campaigns, with the contract set aside entirely for small businesses under the SBA’s Total Small Business Set-Aside program. The NAICS code 611430 identifies this as an educational support services procurement, indicating the need for evidence-based, scientifically accurate educational outreach to healthcare providers and communities. The work will focus on enhancing the dissemination of critical public health information through targeted academic detailing—such as one-on-one provider education—and high-quality medical content development tailored to tribal and underserved populations served by the IHS. Cynthia Gunderson serves as the program point of contact for this initiative, while Karen McDonald is the designated Contracting Officer, both reachable through their official IHS email addresses. Although the solicitation number and specific location details are not yet available, the forecast has been posted with a published date of May 25, 2026, suggesting an upcoming release for competitive bidding. This effort reflects the Indian Health Service’s ongoing commitment to improving health outcomes through enhanced provider education and culturally competent communication strategies, relying on qualified small business partners to deliver these essential services across Indian Country.
