Engineering and Architectural Services

The Indian Health Service is forecasting a forthcoming procurement for engineering and architectural services under NAICS code 541330, specifically targeted for small businesses through a total small business set-aside. This solicitation is intended for small construction projects and will be competed exclusively among qualified small businesses as defined by the SBA. The contracting activity is managed under the agency’s standard protocols with no specific geographic location identified for performance, indicating potential assignments across multiple sites under the Indian Health Service’s operational scope. Adam Hughes serves as the program point of contact for technical inquiries, while Susan Protho, the designated contracting officer, is responsible for all procurement-related matters. The opportunity is posted on the HHS Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization portal, and although no solicitation number has been issued yet, interested small businesses should monitor the provided link for the official request for proposals. The forecast indicates a formal solicitation is anticipated but not yet released, providing vendors time to prepare proposals aligned with small business eligibility and the technical requirements for architectural and engineering support on small-scale construction initiatives.
