AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Service, intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole source contract to Northern X-Ray Company (NXC Imaging) for the urgent repair of a non-operational Canon Medical 32-slice CT scanner at the Rosebud IHS Hospital in South Dakota. This action is authorized under FAR 6.302-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency, as the scanner’s failure significantly impairs critical diagnostic services including emergency and trauma care for the local patient population, posing direct risks to health and safety. Conducting a full and open competition is not feasible due to the immediate need to restore functionality, and only a contractor with direct access to Canon Medical Systems USA’s proprietary diagnostics, software, certified personnel, and authorized parts can perform the necessary repairs within the required timeframe. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 811210 and is classified under J065 for medical equipment repair and maintenance. The contract is expected to be awarded to NXC Imaging, though any responsible source may submit a capability statement demonstrating immediate readiness to meet the OEM-compliant repair requirements within five calendar days of the notice’s publication. The repair must restore full operational status, specifically ensuring the ROI/SureStart functionality works error-free, with all calibrations and performance tests completed on-site at the hospital. The total performance period shall not exceed 60 days, with initial service response required within one to two weeks of award. The contract will include optional CLINs for additional labor, travel, or parts at the government’s discretion, but no pricing details are disclosed. No set-aside provisions apply, no security clearances are required, and the acquisition follows FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures. The point of contact for submissions is Erin Doering at [email hidden], and all responses must confirm immediate availability of OEM-certified technicians and proprietary components. This notice does not constitute a solicitation, and no costs incurred in responding will be reimbursed.

AUTHORITY: FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency; FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services
CLASSIFICATION CODE: J065 – Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding of Equipment – Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment
NAICS CODE: 811210 – Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:
The Indian Health Service (IHS), Rosebud Service Unit, intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole source contract to Northern X-Ray Company (NXC Imaging) for the urgent repair of a Canon Medical 32-slice CT Scanner (Serial Number: KDA1282149) located at the Rosebud IHS Hospital, Rosebud, South Dakota.
This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency, as implemented by HHS acquisition regulations and policies. Due to the urgent nature of this requirement, the Government does not have time to compete this requirement.
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this requirement is to restore the CT system to full operational status for clinical use. The CT scanner is essential for providing timely diagnostic imaging services, including emergency care, trauma evaluation, and critical diagnostic support for the patient population served by the Rosebud IHS Hospital.
JUSTIFICATION FOR URGENCY:
The CT scanner is currently non-operational, which significantly impairs the facility’s ability to provide critical diagnostic services. The lack of CT imaging capability poses a direct risk to patient health and safety by delaying diagnosis and treatment, particularly in emergency and life-threatening situations.
Delays associated with conducting a full and open competition would result in unacceptable interruptions to essential healthcare services. The Government must act immediately to restore the CT system to operational status to ensure continuity of care.
In accordance with FAR 6.302-2, only the minimum time necessary will be used to acquire these services on a sole source basis. Qualified service providers must have access to Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. diagnostics to perform the most immediate and reliable repair services, including access to proprietary parts, technical data, and certified personnel necessary to expedite restoration.
EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COMPETITION:
This notice is being posted in accordance with FAR 5.201 to inform industry of the Government’s intent. The Government will consider any capability statements received; however, given the urgency of the requirement, responses must demonstrate the ability to provide immediate repair services without delay and with full compatibility with OEM specifications.
THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES.
However, any responsible source that believes it can meet the Government’s urgent requirement may submit a capability statement.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION:
Capability statements must be submitted via email within five (5) calendar days from the date of publication of this notice due to the urgent nature of this requirement. Submissions must clearly demonstrate the ability to meet the requirement immediately, including access to necessary parts, software, and qualified personnel.
