PIV cardstock

The contract concerns the supply of blank cardstock specifically designed for printing Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards, a critical component for secure identification within the Indian Health Service. Only two manufacturers are authorized to produce PIV cards for the Department of Health and Human Services, making this a highly restricted procurement with no competitive bidding possible. The requirement is limited exclusively to these approved sources to ensure compliance with federal identity and security standards. The forecast was posted on May 25, 2026, and is categorized under NAICS code 541519, indicating it relates to other computer-related services, likely encompassing the specialized production and handling of secure credential materials. The Indian Health Service is the procuring agency, with Ashley Marth listed as the Program Point of Contact and Chris McGucken as the Contracting Officer, both reachable via official email for inquiries regarding this upcoming requirement. No specific place of performance or set-aside details are provided, indicating the focus is on the unique nature of the product rather than geographic or socio-economic preferences.
