Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Stryker Sales, LLC

The Navajo Area Indian Health Service, through the Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility, intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Stryker Sales, LLC for comprehensive maintenance services on three Stryker model 6390 Power Load cot fastener systems and three Stryker Power-Pro XT cots. The contract includes all necessary parts, labor, travel, annual preventive maintenance, and battery replacement to ensure uninterrupted operation of these critical patient transport systems, which support over 1,200 annual transports and handle loads up to 750 pounds. The performance period consists of a one-year base term with two optional one-year extensions, all to be performed on-site at the facility in Chinle, Arizona. The procurement is conducted under a non-competitive basis because Stryker Sales, LLC is the only entity uniquely qualified to service this proprietary equipment, and any service interruption could directly impact patient care and staff safety. The NAICS code 339113 applies, with a small business size standard of 800 employees, and compliance with the Buy Indian Act is required, meaning offerors must qualify as an Indian Economic Enterprise and submit the IHS IEE Representation Form. All respondents must be actively registered in SAM.gov and must provide a company profile, capability statement, and, if applicable, the IHS IEE Representation Form via email to the designated point of contact by 5:00 p.m. MST on May 7, 2026. No formal solicitation will be issued for competitive bids, and the government will not respond to or acknowledge submissions unless they contain clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous. Responses must not include proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information, and the government may use any non-proprietary technical data from submissions in future solicitations. The contractor must be officially certified by Stryker to perform maintenance on the specified equipment, and failure to maintain this certification would constitute a breach of contract. The government retains full discretion to proceed without competition if no valid challenge is received by the deadline, and no feedback will be provided to respondents. Payment, invoicing methods, and specific contract pricing details are not included in the pre-award documentation, and administrative details such as the contracting officer, COTR, or financial accounting codes are not publicly specified beyond the office location in Window Rock, Arizona.
