Biomedical Lab furniture and shelving AMENDED MAY 5 with May 14 site visit

The solicitation for biomedical laboratory furniture and shelving is issued under solicitation number IHS1523250PIMC by the Phoenix Area Indian Health Service, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, with performance and delivery required at the Phoenix Indian Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The acquisition is set aside exclusively for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) firms and falls under NAICS code 337127 for medical furniture and fixtures. The contract will be awarded through a commercial items procurement under FAR Part 12, using a trade-off evaluation approach that considers technical acceptability, past performance, and price reasonableness to determine best value, rather than a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) method. Proposals must be submitted electronically via SAM.gov by the revised deadline of June 3, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. EDT, following the instructions in FAR 52.212-1 and including all required representations and certifications completed through SAM.gov, such as Unique Entity Identifier, size status, and socioeconomic certifications. Vendors are responsible for the complete turnkey installation of all lab workstations, including delivery, unloading, unpacking, assembly, placement, and removal of all packaging materials, with no assumption that government staff will handle debris or waste. Installation must align with laboratory ergonomic and biosafety standards, ensuring all casework, shelving, and storage units are fabricated with non-porous, chemical-resistant materials, properly anchored, and equipped with locking casters and adequate floor clearance for cleaning. While no specific MIL-STD, ISO, or ANSI standards are mandated, compliance with internal infection control protocols and federal requirements is mandatory. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses covering ethics, labor rights, anti-trafficking, cybersecurity restrictions, executive compensation reporting, and subcontracting oversight. Payment must be processed electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), and while no contract value is disclosed, the government will evaluate offers based on total cost and overall benefit. No FOB terms, delivery schedule, or contractual line items are specified, and the contract type is not formally identified beyond its classification as a combined synopsis/solicitation for a purchase order. Site visit for prospective offerors is scheduled for May 14, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. local time.
