The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Service Bemidji Area, intends to award a firm fixed price sole source contract to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe for recycling and disposal services at the Cass Lake Service Unit in Minnesota. This action is being pursued under FAR 13.501(a) as the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe is identified as the only responsible source capable of providing the required comprehensive services, including the completion of necessary government disposition and property action forms. The procurement falls under NAICS code 562920 for Materials Recovery Facilities and PSC 4250 for Recycling and Reclamation Equipment. While this notice is not a request for competitive quotes, interested parties may submit evidence of their technical capabilities to Contract Specialist Mary Simon by August 26, 2026. Such responses must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government to potentially shift the procurement from a sole source award to a competitive process. This opportunity is designated as a Buy Indian Set-Aside specific to the Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Services.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE SOLE SOURCE AWARD


The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Indian Health Service (IHS), Bemidji Area intends to award a Firm Fixed Priced Contract on a sole source basis to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe (Indian- Owned Economic Enterprise) for the Cass Lake Service Unit in Cass Lake, MN.


The sole source action will be issued under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.501(a) - only one source reasonably available.  Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe has a Solid Waste Division offering Recycling and Disposal Services that are required by the Cass Lake Service Unit. The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Solid Waste Division provides comprehensive services, including completion of all Disposition forms required by the Government for Certificate of Destruction, A&D Determination, and the HHS-22 Request for Property Action form.  Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe is the only responsible source, and no other supplies or services will satisfy the requirements of the Cass Lake Service Unit.


The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 562920 – Materials Recovery Facilities


PSC: 4250 – Recycling and Reclamation Equipment


Point of contact for this acquisition is Contract Specialist, Mary Simon at mary.simon2@ihs.gov. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes.


Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit a quote to Contract Specialist, Mary Simon at mary.simon2@ihs.gov. Information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.


Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit technical capabilities, and other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the Government's needs.

Technology Licensing Opportunity: Electrochemical Recycling Technology for Sustainable Recovery of Tellerium and Cadmium from CdTE Photovoltaics
Solicitation # BA-1601
The contract presents a technology licensing opportunity for an innovative electrochemical recycling process designed to recover tellurium and cadmium from end-of-life and manufacturing scrap cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic cells. This technology advances current recycling methods by generating oxidants in situ through electrochemical means, eliminating the need for externally supplied hydrogen peroxide used in conventional acid leaching. This novel approach reduces the environmental impact by minimizing the use of bulk chemicals, lowering carbon emissions, and decreasing logistical challenges associated with transporting and storing hazardous substances. The process produces reusable tellurium metal and cadmium that can be reintegrated into photovoltaic manufacturing, supporting sustainable and circular economy objectives. Key benefits of the technology include its compatibility with clean energy sources such as renewables or nuclear power, which further reduce lifecycle emissions, and the potential to serve as a next-generation sustainable mining model. Market applications target direct deployment in CdTe photovoltaic recycling operations, such as those by First Solar, and broader use in hydrometallurgical extraction of critical elements. This opportunity is managed by the Department of Energy through the Battelle Energy Alliance office in Idaho Falls, with submissions due by early July 2026, offering stakeholders in renewable energy and materials recovery an avenue to adopt a more environmentally responsible and efficient recycling technology.

Available for Licensing: Dimethyl Ether-Driven Rejuvenation Technology for Lithium-Ion Battery Cell Reuse
Solicitation # BA-1617
A novel dimethyl ether (DME)-driven technology is available for licensing to rejuvenate end-of-life lithium-ion battery cells without dismantling them, offering a streamlined alternative to conventional recycling methods that rely on shredding and chemical or thermal separation of materials. This approach restores electrochemical performance by directly treating assembled cells, preserving the original electrode architecture and enabling direct reuse rather than recovering raw metals for reprocessing. Early data supports its technical feasibility, suggesting it could significantly reduce energy consumption, reagent use, and capital costs compared to pyrometallurgical or hydrometallurgical pathways, which currently dominate the industry. By eliminating multiple unit operations, the method presents a new pathway for battery circularity that prioritizes reuse over material extraction. The technology is positioned to address a critical gap in the domestic lithium-ion battery recycling infrastructure, where current processes are energy-intensive and economically burdensome. It is intended for integration into existing recycling facilities as a front-end reconditioning step for spent cells from consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and stationary storage systems, potentially extending service life and reducing the volume of material entering downstream recovery streams. The opportunity is open for licensing under solicitation number BA-1617, with responses due by August 1, 2026. The technology is managed by Battelle Energy Alliance on behalf of the Department of Energy, with primary contact at the Idaho Falls, Idaho facility.
