AI Contract Overview
The Indian Health Service, Navajo Area, Crownpoint Service Unit (CPSU) plans to restrict competition and negotiate directly with Henry Schein for the purchase of two dental vacuum systems. This procurement, categorized under NAICS code 339114 for Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing, is intended to support the Pueblo Pintado Health Clinic (PPHC) in Crownpoint, New Mexico, in preparation for an upcoming Joint Commission survey. To ensure compliance with equipment functionality, infection prevention, and patient safety standards, CPSU requires the dental vacuums to be installed promptly. Since PPHC currently uses a Henry Schein dental vacuum system, acquiring the same make and model offers operational efficiencies, simplifies staff training, and reduces the risk of errors through standardized equipment. The decision to restrict competition is authorized under RFO 12.102(a), as the acquisition falls below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. CPSU emphasizes that the choice of a single-source supplier is to maintain system consistency and leverage existing familiarity among clinical and maintenance personnel. Responses to this notice will be considered solely to determine whether to proceed with single-source procurement or open competition, with final discretion resting with the Government. Janice Martinez, Supervisory Contract Specialist, serves as the primary contact for this procurement.

The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 339114 – Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing
In accordance with RFO 12.102(a), for acquisitions valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, competition will be restricted to Henry Schein in preparation for Joint Commission Readiness.
