The Billings Area Indian Health Service is conducting market research under a sources sought notice to identify qualified Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises or Indian Economic Enterprises capable of providing regulated medical waste disposal services at the Crow Service Unit in Crow Agency, Montana. This notice is not a solicitation and does not obligate the government to award a contract; its purpose is solely to assess industry capability and determine compliance with the Buy Indian Act, which mandates preference for Indian-owned businesses in federal procurement. Respondents must submit a detailed capability statement that specifically demonstrates experience and capacity to perform the required services—including monthly removal and disposal of regulated medical waste and sharps, supply and installation of DOT- and ANSI-compliant containers, completion of waste manifests, and delivery of required training to facility staff—and must include a completed Buy Indian Act Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form. Generic submissions will be deemed non-responsive. Responses must be emailed to [email hidden] by May 15, 2026, with the source sought ID SS-IHS1521276-BI in the subject line. Eligibility is strictly tied to tribal ownership or control, with no reliance on standard SBA size standards, and vendors must be registered in SAM. Contractors must comply fully with DOT, EPA, and Montana DEQ regulations, including proper labeling, container integrity, and hazardous material handling. Any affirmative certification of Indian Economic Enterprise status carries legal weight, with false representations subject to penalties under federal fraud statutes. The potential contract, if awarded, would span a one-year base period with four one-year option periods, require initial setup within 14 days of award, and involve ongoing monthly service cycles. No pricing information, evaluation factors, or award criteria are provided at this stage, as this notice is purely for market research and acquisition planning.
