The Indian Health Service (IHS) is issuing a Sources Sought notice to identify qualified Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) capable of providing three eight-yard metal trash containers along with ongoing maintenance or replacement services as required. This notice is not a request for proposals or quotations but a market research effort under the Buy Indian Act to give preference to eligible Indian Economic Enterprises. Interested firms must submit detailed capability statements demonstrating relevant experience and capacity, along with a completed Buy Indian Act Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form. Submissions must include comprehensive company information including socioeconomic status, SAM registration, DUNS and CAGE codes, tax ID, and points of contact authorized to discuss the response with the government. Responses are to be limited to five pages and submitted by 1:00 PM CST on May 19, 2026. The contracting opportunity falls under NAICS code 562111 and will be managed by the Lawton Indian Hospital, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, located in Lawton, Oklahoma. The Government emphasizes that response submissions are voluntary, do not guarantee contract award, and will not be returned. Confidential or proprietary information should be excluded, as the Government may use non-proprietary information provided for future solicitations. This notice encourages ISBEEs to participate in recognition of the Buy Indian Act procurement authority, with a focus on firms capable of reliably addressing trash container provision and maintenance needs for the facility. Responses are to be sent electronically to designated IHS Contract Specialists, Jarrod Prince and Carroll Delaune, with the solicitation number IHS1523580 referenced in the subject line.
