What the notice says
Sources Sought Notice: IHS-27-SSN-PILP DataRay D4 Patient Identification Labeling Platform (PILP) INTRODUCTION Pursuant to 48 CFR Part 326, Subpart 326.603-3 and IHM 5.5-6, Indian Health Service must use the negotiation authority of the Buy Indian Act, 25 U.S.C. 47, to give preference to Indian Economic Enterprises (IEE) whenever the use of that authority is authorized and practicable. The Government is seeking to identify Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) and/or Indian Economic Enterprises (IEE) as its first preference and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDV… (show all)
OSB) as its second preference capable of performing the below Indian Health Service (IHS) requirement. Any vendor responding to this notice should submit their capability statement as well as the Buy Indian Act Indian Economic Enterprise Representation Form (Attachment 1). Instructions for submission are outlined below in Response Requirement section. This is a Sources Sought Notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of qualified small ISBEE and/or SDVOSB and/or other than small IEE Firms (25 USC 47) that are capable of providing the DataRay D4 Patient Identification Labeling Platform (PILP) to support IHS and Tribal facilities. The IHS Office of Information Technology (OIT) has determined DataRay D4 PILP is the only PILP available to seamlessly replace the legacy DataRay D3 PILP architecture. Your response to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition strategy. BACKGROUND The Indian Health Service, an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, is responsible for providing federal health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN). The IHS is the principal federal health care provider and health advocate for AI/AN, and its goal is to raise their health status to the highest possible level. The IHS provides a comprehensive health service delivery system for approximately 2.6 million American Indians and Alaska Natives who belong to 573 federally recognized tribes in 37 states. IHS�s implementation of the DataRay D4 PILP under a single contract will: Modernize the planned federal baseline of legacy D3 print stations at IHS Federal hospitals and clinics currently using RPMS to the D4 platform (or �equal� solution) with dual-stack to IPv6-only migration, while maintaining compatibility with PATH EHR for future site transition and avoiding disruption to patient care and operations. Establish an enterprise Managed Services Agreement (MSA) to provide standardized support, security patching, incident response, and operational continuity for the planned federal baseline. Standardize governance for templates/configurations and establish repeatable deployment, cutover/rollback, and acceptance processes. Provide ordering channels for exception-based replacements, site buy-in expansions, new-facility stand-up, and the purchase of compatible equipment, software, services, support, kits, and consumables.
