ICE MACHINE FOR PACU FOR MH PATIENTS

The Indian Health Service is forecasting the procurement of an ice machine for use in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit to serve Native American patients, categorized under the NAICS code 811310 for other personal care services. This opportunity is set aside entirely for small businesses under the SBA’s Total Small Business Set-Aside provision, meaning only small business concerns are eligible to bid. The requirement is intended to support patient care standards in a clinical environment where ice is critical for post-operative recovery and temperature management. The solicitation has been posted with a future date of May 25, 2026, indicating this is a planned acquisition, not yet active for bids. Point of contact for program inquiries is Sharon Carver, while Shelton Bruce serves as the contracting officer responsible for the acquisition process. No specific location details are provided, suggesting the equipment will be deployed to an Indian Health Service facility, though the exact site remains unspecified.
