AI Contract Overview
The Albuquerque Area Office of the Indian Health Service is conducting market research through a Request for Information to determine the availability of qualified vendors capable of supplying Grafix PL Membrane, a 5 cm x 5 cm surgical skin graft product, for use at the Zuni Comprehensive Community Health Center in Zuni, New Mexico. This notice, designated under NAICS code 339113 for Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing, is strictly informational and not a solicitation, with no obligation or commitment from the Government. The primary objective is to identify potential sources, particularly those eligible for a 100% set-aside under the Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) program, which is governed by the Buy Indian Act and specific to the Department of Health and Human Services and its Indian Health Service. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management and provide detailed company information, including their Unique Entity ID, size certification under the applicable NAICS code, and explicit socioeconomic status such as ISBEE, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, or Woman-Owned Small Business status. Respondents are required to submit a capability statement and a completed ISBEE Representation Form to demonstrate their ability to meet the requirement, with any alternative NAICS code proposals needing a comprehensive justification of alignment with the product’s principal purpose. All responses must be submitted via email to Shannon Eldridge-Shorty no later than May 21, 2026, at 12:00 PM Mountain Time, and must contain all specified elements to be considered responsive; automated or incomplete submissions will be disregarded. The Government will use the information gathered to shape future procurement strategies and assess market readiness for a potential ISBEE-only acquisition. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing details, delivery schedules, or packaging specifications are included, as this is purely a pre-solicitation market research tool. Vendor eligibility hinges on affirmative self-certifications regarding size and socioeconomic status, with false or misleading representations subject to penalties under federal law, including 18 U.S.C. § 1001 and the False Claims Act. The place of performance is clearly defined as Zuni, New Mexico, and no other logistical, technical, or administrative requirements beyond the submission criteria are outlined, as the focus remains on identifying capable, compliant, and eligible small businesses prior to any formal procurement action.
