The Indian Health Service (IHS) Phoenix Area is conducting market research to identify Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEE) and other small business concerns that can provide non‑personal, performance‑based day and night hospitalist services for the Phoenix Indian Medical Center (PIMC) in Phoenix, Arizona. The anticipated contract will consist of a 12‑month base year with up to four additional 12‑month option years. The contractor must assume full management, supervision, and performance responsibility for its physician staff, integrating with the clinical environment while the Government provides no direct supervision. Required capabilities include continuous inpatient coverage with a day/night staffing model, surge and contingency staffing, experience delivering hospitalist care across ICU and medical/surgical units, and compliance with TJC, CMS, and IHS clinical standards. Performance will be measured via a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan covering shift coverage, patient evaluation, documentation, and communication responsiveness. The notice may be set aside under the Buy Indian Act; ISBEE respondents must demonstrate ownership/control, compliance with ISBEE requirements, and disclose subcontracting plans. Responses are limited to seven pages and must be submitted electronically to Dekovan Cook (Dekovan.Cook@ihs.gov) by 14:00 ET on 28 April 2026. The Government will use the responses to determine the acquisition strategy and will not reimburse any response costs.
