Description
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is soliciting quotes from qualified small‑business vendors to supply BioRad Laboratories quality‑control (QC) reagents for the Taos‑Picuris Indian Health Center laboratory. The award will be a firm‑fixed‑price purchase order with a base year and up to four optional one‑year extensions (total potential performance up to five years). The procurement is set‑aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) and cascades to other small‑business categories if competition is insufficient. Vendors must submit a technical volume, past‑performance volume, and a price volume, and must acknowledge receipt of this amendment. Quotes are due electronically by September 7 2026; questions are due by September 2 2026.
