Diagnostic Reference Laboratory Testing

The Indian Health Service (IHS) Phoenix Area is issuing a total small‑business set‑aside solicitation (ACQ‑IHS‑2026‑U‑0088) for Diagnostic Reference Laboratory Testing Services. The award will be a single or multiple Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) on a firm‑fixed‑price basis, with an initial performance period of June 1 2026 through May 31 2027 and up to four optional 12‑month extensions. Offerors must submit an electronic PDF proposal that includes (1) a technical volume of no more than 10 pages describing the technical approach, staffing plan, quality‑control procedures, and OSHA/infection‑control compliance; (2) two to five recent (within three years) past‑performance references that are similar in size, scope, and complexity; and (3) a complete all‑inclusive price schedule covering labor, materials, equipment, overhead, profit, taxes and disposal. Proposals must be signed, dated, and firm for at least 90 days, remain valid for 120 days, and contain all required solicitation identifiers, UEI, and certifications. Evaluation will be based on three factors: technical approach, past performance, and price (reasonableness and consistency with the technical solution). The Government will award without discussions, so the initial offer must represent the offeror’s best terms. Unique requirements include mandatory safety and infection‑control compliance, a quality‑control description, and an emergency clause that extends the receipt deadline if normal Government processes are disrupted. All questions, submissions, and correspondence should be directed to Contract Specialist Dale C. Clark (dale.clark@ihs.gov).
