Dental Assistant

The Indian Health Service has issued a forecast for a two-year contract to provide dental assistant non-personal healthcare services under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete. The North American Industry Classification System code is 621210, which corresponds to dental offices and related services, indicating the work involves support functions within dental care settings rather than direct patient treatment. This contract opportunity is not yet awarded and remains in the forecast phase, with a posted date of May 25, 2026, suggesting it will be solicited in the near future. The place of performance and specific location details are not yet defined, but the services will be delivered under the jurisdiction of the Indian Health Service across its network of facilities. Gail Osborne serves as the Program Point of Contact for inquiries regarding the scope and requirements of the services, while Patricia Trujillo, listed as the Contracting Officer, will oversee the procurement process, including solicitation, evaluation, and award. Interested small businesses should monitor the official opportunity forecast link for updates and eventual release of a formal solicitation. The contract’s focus on non-personal healthcare services implies tasks such as administrative support, clinical assistance, materials management, and operational coordination within dental clinics, all in service of improving access to dental care for Native American and Alaska Native populations.
