Quick Summary

The Great Plains Area Indian Health Service (IHS) has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a Firm Fixed-Price, 8(a) Sole Source purchase order to Motorola for dual radios for ambulances and handheld radios for staff at the Quentin N Burdick Memorial Healthcare Facility in Belcourt, ND. The estimated value of this acquisition is $69,502.83. This is NOT a request for quotes or proposals; rather, it is an opportunity for other sources to demonstrate their capability to meet the requirement.

Scope of Work

The requirement is for the provision and installation of dual radios for ambulances and handheld radios for housekeeping staff at the Quentin N Burdick Memorial Healthcare Facility, located at 1300 Hospital Loop, Belcourt, ND. The vendor must be capable of supplying Motorola brand radios, as the current system is part of a statewide bid won by Motorola.

Contract & Timeline

  • Type: Intent to Award Sole Source (Firm Fixed-Price Purchase Order)
  • Set-Aside: 8(a) Sole Source (FAR 19.8)
  • Justification: FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source capable due to existing statewide system)
  • Estimated Value: $69,502.83
  • Period of Performance: Sixty (60) days from Date of Award
  • Published Date: January 29, 2026
  • Response Due: February 14, 2026, by 6:00 PM ET

Action Items

Interested parties must submit clear and convincing evidence by the response date demonstrating that a sole source award would not be advantageous to the Government, or that they can provide the required Motorola radios and installation without being cost or time prohibitive, and without hindering agency standardization. The Government will consider this information to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible. Responses should be directed via email to Jody Keplin.
