Description
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is seeking a qualified dental practice to provide continuous outpatient dentist coverage at the Tohatchi Health Center (THC) in Tohatchi, NM. The award will be a 100% Indian‑owned Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set‑aside. The contract consists of a one‑year base period with two one‑year options, each requiring approximately 2,080 dentist hours (8 hours × 5 days × 52 weeks). The contractor must supply a single dentist who holds a current, unrestricted dental license, board certification (or eligibility), BLS certification, a valid driver’s license, and English proficiency. The solicitation demands detailed technical volumes (administrative, technical capability, pricing) and a firm‑fixed hourly rate covering all labor, benefits, overhead, G&A, recruiting, credentialing, and profit. Continuous coverage, credentialing timelines, and contingency plans for absences are critical evaluation factors.
