Notice of Intent to Restrict Competition – NAIHS, Shiprock Service Unit, Four Corners Regional Health Center – Automated Dispensing Cabinet System

The Indian Health Service, Navajo Area, Shiprock Service Unit, Four Corners Regional Health Center (FCRHC) in Teec Nos Pos, AZ intends to restrict competition and negotiate an award with Carefusion Solutions LLC (UEI: E99HA2K3YTG8) for automated dispensing cabinet systems and services. The projected period of performance is 2/1/2026-1/31/2027 with three one-year options.

The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 532490- Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing with a Small Business Administration size standard of $40.0 million.

In accordance with RFO 12.102, for acquisitions valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold, competition will be restricted because Carefusion Solutions LLC currently provides automated dispensing cabinet systems for the Four Corners Regional Health Center and a seamless integration with existing systems is required. There are also Joint Commission requirements involving profiling and any decision to not restrict competition potentially jeopardizes FCRHC's ability to satisfy Joint Commission requirements.
