KHC Radiology Batteries – Removal and Replacement

The Navajo Area Indian Health Service, Kayenta Health Center in Kayenta, Arizona, is proceeding with a sole-source, non-competitive firm-fixed-price procurement under the Buy Indian Act for battery, capacitor, and fan replacement services in its Radiology Department, awarded exclusively to Gruber Technical Inc., identified by UEI Z5BMZGLTC4D1. This action is justified under FAR 12.102-1(a) due to the existence of an exclusive service agreement and the fact that the acquisition falls below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, with the period of performance lasting one year from the date of award. The procurement is structured as an Indian Economic Enterprise set-aside under 25 U.S.C. 47 and HHSAR 326.601, requiring Gruber Technical Inc. to represent and maintain its status as an Indian-owned Economic Enterprise or Indian-owned Small Business Economic Enterprise throughout the award and performance periods, with immediate notification required if eligibility changes. The contract does not include competitive evaluation factors, pricing details, inspection criteria, or formal specifications beyond the scope of equipment component replacement, and no technical standards or packaging requirements are referenced. Any other potential sources may submit a capability statement and Indian Economic Enterprise representation form via email to Ms. Daisha Richards, the designated Purchasing Agent, by 10:00 a.m. EST on May 22, 2026, though submission does not obligate the government to respond or reconsider the sole-source decision. All submissions must be electronic, no oral communications are accepted, and failure to comply with representation requirements may invoke penalties under federal false statement and False Claims Act statutes. The place of performance is specifically Kayenta, Arizona, with the contracting office located in Window Rock, AZ, and no payment, invoicing, or contract administration details beyond the point of contact are provided in the notice.
