The Indian Health Service is forecasting a requirement for ultrasound mobile services under NAICS code 621512, indicating a focus on mobile diagnostic imaging support for tribal and underserved communities. The opportunity is posted as a forecast with no solicitation number yet issued, and no set-aside designation has been determined, suggesting it may be open to all eligible vendors. Services will likely involve deploying mobile ultrasound units and trained personnel to reach remote locations where access to diagnostic imaging is limited, aligning with the agency’s mission to improve health outcomes in American Indian and Alaska Native populations. Performance is not yet specified geographically, but the scope implies service across regions served by the Indian Health Service. Point of contact for program-related inquiries is Jacqueline Zortman, while Jennifer Richardson serves as the Contracting Officer, providing the primary official channel for procurement questions. The forecast is publicly available via the HHS OSDBU portal, with the posting date indicating this opportunity is planned for future release in 2026. Interested vendors should monitor for the upcoming solicitation and prepare to demonstrate capability in mobile ultrasound operations, compliance with federal healthcare standards, experience serving rural or tribal health systems, and the ability to maintain equipment and staff readiness in challenging logistical environments.
