PATIENT CARE SERVICES

The Indian Health Service has issued a forecast for Patient Care Services under NAICS code 561320, indicating a future procurement opportunity slated for 2025. This forecast is intended to provide industry with advance notice of potential contracting activity, though no solicitation has been formally released as of the posting date of May 25, 2026. The services are expected to support patient care operations, likely across IHS facilities, with the place of performance not yet specified but presumed to be within areas served by the Indian Health Service. The contract will be managed by Tanya Begay as the Contracting Officer, with Lenora Burbank serving as the Program Point of Contact for operational and technical inquiries. While the forecast does not specify a set-aside type or organization eligibility criteria, businesses preparing to respond should anticipate the need to demonstrate experience in delivering healthcare support services, potentially including clinical support, staffing solutions, or ancillary patient care functions. Interested vendors are encouraged to monitor the provided UI link and reach out to the designated contacts for guidance on upcoming requirements. The absence of a solicitation number and detailed place of performance suggests this is an early-stage forecast, with full details, including evaluation factors, deadlines, and scope, likely to be published in a formal request for proposals later in the cycle.
