Nursing Department

The Indian Health Service has posted a forecast for a nursing department initiative targeting the procurement of a nurse call system specifically designed for urgent care and clinic settings. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 423450, indicating it relates to medical and dental equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers. The opportunity is currently in the forecasting phase, with no solicitation number or set-aside designation provided, and the anticipated timeline for release is post-May 2026. The system is expected to enhance communication and response capabilities within clinical environments, supporting efficient patient care delivery in Indian Health Service facilities. The place of performance and specific location details are not yet defined, suggesting the solution may be implemented across multiple sites under the agency’s purview. Reyna Garcia is listed as the program point of contact for questions related to the functional requirements of the nurse call system, while Raelynn Ray serves as the contracting officer overseeing the acquisition process. Both can be reached via their respective IHS email addresses. The forecast is publicly accessible through the HHS OSDBU portal, allowing potential vendors to prepare for an upcoming formal solicitation. Although no budget figures or technical specifications are included at this stage, interested suppliers should anticipate requirements that prioritize reliability, integration with existing clinical workflows, and compliance with healthcare communication standards. The absence of a set-aside designation means the opportunity is open to all eligible contractors, with no preference given to small, minority-owned, or other disadvantaged businesses at this stage of planning.
