CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE CABINET

The Indian Health Service is forecasting a lease requirement for locked cabinets to securely store controlled substances at pharmacies operated by WE, NTW, and PP facilities. The procurement falls under NAICS code 423450, which pertains to medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers, indicating the intent to acquire specialized security equipment rather than general services. The cabinets must meet regulatory standards for the safekeeping of controlled substances, ensuring compliance with federal drug storage requirements across all designated pharmacy locations. The opportunity is currently in the forecast stage, with no solicitation number assigned and no set-aside provisions identified, meaning it remains open to all eligible vendors without restriction. Debra Rethwisch serves as the Program Point of Contact for technical inquiries, while Jennifer Richardson is designated as the Contracting Officer overseeing procurement activities. The agency has not specified the physical location of performance, city, state, or zip code, suggesting the cabinets will be distributed across multiple sites served by the Indian Health Service. The forecast was posted on May 25, 2026, providing advance notice to interested parties to prepare proposals or express interest. This procurement aims to enhance security and regulatory adherence at tribal and remote healthcare pharmacies where controlled substances are dispensed, with a focus on reliable, tamper-resistant storage solutions.
