Delivery Carts

The Indian Health Service has issued a forecast for a Total Small Business Set-Aside contract titled Delivery Carts, targeting small businesses under NAICS code 423450, which pertains to merchant wholesalers of durable goods, specifically medical and surgical equipment and supplies. The opportunity is designated exclusively for small business concerns as defined by the SBA, ensuring that only eligible small businesses may compete for the eventual award. The forecast was posted on May 25, 2026, and although no solicitation number is yet assigned, it signals an anticipated procurement activity likely to be released in the near future. The place of performance and exact location details remain unspecified, indicating that final delivery requirements will be determined during the subsequent solicitation phase. Mandy Anderson serves as the Program Point of Contact for inquiries related to the functional needs and specifications of the delivery carts, while Shelton Bruce is listed as the Contracting Officer responsible for the procurement process, including bid evaluation and award. Interested small businesses are encouraged to monitor the official osdbu.hhs.gov portal for the formal solicitation, as this forecast does not constitute a request for proposals but rather a preview of upcoming procurement intent. Bidders should prepare to demonstrate compliance with small business size standards and the ability to meet federal supply and delivery standards for medical equipment transport solutions under the purview of the Indian Health Service.
