Supplies, Reagents, and Consumables for the AAIHS Laboratory Departments

The Indian Health Service issued a Justification and Approval under solicitation number 75H70726F80013 for the procurement of supplies, reagents, and consumables for the Albuquerque Area Indian Health Service laboratory departments. This emergency requirement supports medical laboratories under NAICS 621511 and provides in vitro diagnostic substances, reagents, test kits, and sets classified under PSC 6550. The acquisition is intended to ensure the continuity of patient care and the uninterrupted delivery of essential laboratory services at federal facilities in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The government is proceeding with a sole source award to avoid a lapse in critical services while a long-term contract, consisting of a base period and four option years, is being developed. An immediate contract is necessary because a delay would pose a substantial risk to clinical operations, potentially resulting in the discontinuation of in-house laboratory testing and specimen collection. The notice, published on June 11, 2026, identifies Stephanie Begay as the point of contact and includes one attachment regarding a limited sources justification under FAR Part 8.4.
