FPSU medical Gas service

The Billings Area Indian Health Service intends to award a sole source commercial contract under FAR 6.103-1 to GENERAL DISTRIBUTING CO. for the bi-weekly delivery of medical gases to the Fort Peck Service Unit locations in Poplar and Wolf Point, Montana. The contract requires the supplier to deliver Medical Oxygen in e-Tanks with fixed regulators and Liquid Nitrogen in 20-liter Dewars, ensuring inventory monitoring with site visits no less than every 10 days and exchanging empty cylinders for full ones on a bi-weekly basis. General Distributing Co. is identified as the only viable source in the region, with market research confirming no other supplier can meet the agency's requirements. The period of performance spans from November 2, 2026, to November 1, 2027, with an option for four additional one-year extensions. All deliveries must comply with federal, state, and local regulations for hazardous materials, and the contractor is responsible for obtaining necessary permits and ensuring adherence to safety and CMMS accreditation standards. The contractor must provide all equipment, tools, and services needed to perform the work at no additional cost to the government. Although this is not a competitive solicitation, any firm believing it can provide the service may submit written notification within seven days of the notice’s publication date to allow for consideration of potential competition. The solicitation number is 75H70926BAO_049, the NAICS code is 325120, and no small business set-aside is applicable. The primary point of contact is Ashley Flynn at ashley.flynn@ihs.gov.
