BFSU Solid Waste Removal
Solicitation # SS-BFSU-26-009
The Indian Health Service (IHS), under the Department of Health and Human Services, has issued a Sources Sought notice (SS-BFSU-26-009) to identify qualified Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs) or Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) capable of providing weekly solid waste collection services. The requirement, classified under NAICS code 562111 with a one-year performance period, covers trash removal at the Blackfeet Service Unit and Heart Butte Clinic in Montana. While this notice is not a solicitation or request for proposals, it serves to inform the acquisition strategy and emphasizes the mandatory application of the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. 47), which mandates preference to IEEs when practicable. To be considered eligible, responding firms must demonstrate at least 51% ownership by Indian individuals, federally recognized Indian Tribes, or Alaska Native Corporations, with a similar majority share (51%) of contract earnings accruing to these entities. Additionally, management and daily operations must be controlled by Indian individuals. Responses must include a capability statement detailing relevant experience in routine solid waste collection—specifically within healthcare or federal facility environments—along with prior contract performance history, a completed Buy Indian Act Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form, and clear evidence on compliance with ownership, earnings distribution, and management control criteria. The contracting office requires submissions by email within five days of the notice posting. Evaluation focuses on meeting these strict eligibility and capability conditions without formal scoring or competitive technical evaluation, with award considerations governed primarily by socioeconomic compliance under the Buy Indian Act authority. No pricing or funding details are disclosed, and the notice outlines no specific invoicing or inspection protocols beyond service locations and the statutory preference framework.
