Cost-Per-Reportable Test Service (Testing-as-a-Service)

The contract is for the provision of urinalysis testing services on a per-test basis under a service-based model, encompassing all necessary elements including equipment operation, quality control protocols, technician labor, and accurate reporting of results. It is structured as a subcontract and is specifically set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) vendors, limiting eligibility to small businesses owned and controlled by Native American individuals, as defined by the Department of the Interior and Indian Health Services. The North American Industry Classification System code 621511 confirms the scope as clinical laboratory services. The place of performance is designated as Zuni, New Mexico, 87327, and the solicitation, issued by the Albuquerque Area Indian Health Service under the Department of Health and Human Services, is open for responses until May 18, 2026, at 6:00 PM. This contract emphasizes ongoing service delivery rather than equipment purchase or long-term staffing commitments, with payment tied directly to the number of reportable tests completed. The set-aside designation ensures priority consideration for qualified Native-owned small businesses, aligning with federal objectives to promote economic development within tribal communities.
