Operating Room for Dental Pediatrics

The Indian Health Service is forecasting a future opportunity for pediatric dental services requiring the use of an operating room, indicating a specialized medical environment is needed to deliver dental care to children. This effort falls under NAICS code 561320, which pertains to office administrative services, suggesting potential coordination with administrative or support functions to facilitate pediatric dental treatments in an inpatient or surgical setting. The procurement is not currently under a formal solicitation but is flagged as a forecast with a posting date of May 25, 2026, giving industry partners advance notice to prepare proposals and align capabilities. The place of performance and exact location details are not specified, implying services may be delivered across Indian Health Service facilities where pediatric operating room capabilities exist. Casey Kelley serves as the Program Point of Contact for inquiries regarding the scope and requirements of the anticipated work, while Maryann Yocham is listed as the Contracting Officer responsible for managing the procurement process once formally launched. This forecast is intended to allow contractors to evaluate potential participation, establish partnerships, and ensure compliance with federal healthcare standards for pediatric dental services in tribal or Native American communities served by the Indian Health Service. Although no set-aside designation or detailed scope is provided, the focus on operating room use implies complex, sedation-based, or surgical dental procedures for pediatric patients, requiring specialized training, equipment, and regulatory adherence.
