Panorex Dental Xray System

This is a sources-sought notice issued by the Phoenix Area Indian Health Service under the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct market research for the procurement of a Panorex Dental X-ray System, model OP3D EX PAN/3D 10x15 FOV, under NAICS code 339114. The notice is not a solicitation for quotes but aims to determine market readiness and compliance with the Buy Indian Act, specifically assessing eligibility for an Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-aside. Only vendors that qualify as ISBEEs—defined as Indian Economic Enterprises owning at least 51 percent of the business, controlled by Indians, and deriving at least 51 percent of their net profits for the benefit of federally recognized tribes or Alaska Native Corporations—are eligible to respond. To participate, firms must submit the official IHS Indian Economic Enterprise Representation form and provide proof of authorization from the original equipment manufacturer to ensure compliance with gray market prevention policies. Unauthorized, remanufactured, or counterfeit equipment is strictly prohibited, and vendors must be registered in SAM.gov with a valid Unique Entity Identifier. The place of performance is the Whiteriver Service Unit in Whiteriver, Arizona, and all submissions must be received via written response by the deadline of May 17, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. The notice mandates inclusion of a capability statement, tax ID, business category, and manufacturer authorization documentation, with no page or word limits imposed. While no contract value, pricing, delivery schedule, or inspection criteria are specified due to the pre-solicitation nature of this notice, the procurement pathway is clearly structured around socio-economic prioritization and supply chain integrity, with future award decisions likely based on compliance with ISBEE status and adherence to OEM authorization requirements.
