This Pre-solicitation Notice is hereby issued in accordance with RFO FAR Parts 5.101 and 12.202. This notice serves to announce Indian Health Service’s (IHS) intent to solicit a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), commercial purchase order for Geographic Information System (GIS) Analyst services. The proposed purchase order is anticipated to be a total Buy Indian Set-Aside with a target award in late Fiscal Year 2026...
View moreThe role of the GIS Analyst will be the most technically specialized in the study pipeline and will underpin nearly every other major deliverable. The GIS Analyst services shall include geospatial study design, data integration, facility capability geovisualizationping, structured geospatial QA, baseline descriptive coverage measures, network travel-time analysis, E2SFCA accessibility modeling, PRC scenario geovisualizationping, priority-area identification, location-allocation testing, and production of geovisualization atlases and technical transfer packages. The work shall cover primary care, emergency access, behavioral health, dental, endocrinology/diabetes, nephrology/dialysis, rheumatology, and other service categories approved by the Government.
The contractor shall integrate IHS direct care, Tribal 638, urban Indian, and approved non-IHS supply data and shall document the data source hierarchy used for each layer. Federal data shall be used as primary sources for population and disease burden when provided or approved by the Government. Approved commercial supply datasets may be used when available and affordable. If commercial datasets are unavailable or cost-prohibitive, the contractor shall document the substitute data hierarchy and the resulting limitations, including any AI/AN miscoding caveats associated with external data.
This GIS effort shall coordinate closely with the companion Senior Health Economist effort, shall furnish spatial outputs in forms that can be consumed directly by economic models, and shall provide methods documentation sufficient for the Government to reproduce or audit the work after contract completion.
The contractor shall conduct business between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, except on Federal holidays or when the Government facility is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government-directed facility closings. The contractor shall maintain adequate availability for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined in the statement of work when the Government facility is not closed for these reasons.
The work under this contract will be performed virtually approximately 95 percent of the time, except when in-person identity verification, data onboarding, or other Government-approved activities require person-to-person contact.
The anticipated period of performance is one base period (12 months) and four option periods.
THIS PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PURCHASE ORDERS; however, interested firms may submit a capability statement in response to the above requirement by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on 19 JUNE 2026, to Dan Poehling, Contracting Officer, at [email protected]. A determination not to open competition-based responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
The Indian Health Service (IHS) intends to solicit a firm-fixed-price commercial purchase order for Geographic Information System (GIS) Analyst services under solicitation number IHS-26-PSN-1527781. This requirement is designated as a total Buy Indian Set-Aside (BICiv) and is classified under NAICS 541690 Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services and PSC R499 SUPPORT- PROFESSIONAL: OTHER. The GIS Analyst will support the IHS Office of Public Health Support/Division of Program Statistics (OPHS/DPS) by producing a geographically explicit assessment of service adequacy and referral network performance for American Indian and Alaskan Native populations. This work involves identifying real-world travel barriers and the operational instability of Purchased/Referred Care supply, which standard network adequacy approaches often fail to capture.
The scope of work includes geospatial study design, data integration, facility capability geovisualization, network travel-time analysis, and the production of geovisualization atlases and technical transfer packages. These services will cover diverse healthcare categories such as primary care, emergency access, behavioral health, dental, and various specialty services like endocrinology and nephrology. The contractor will integrate data from IHS direct care, Tribal facilities, and urban Indian programs while coordinating closely with a companion senior health economist effort to furnish spatial outputs for economic models. Performance is expected to occur 95 percent virtually within the United States over a 12-month base period and four option periods.
The target award for this requirement is late Fiscal Year 2026, and the contractor must maintain availability for performance between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. While this notice is not a request for competitive purchase orders, interested firms may submit a capability statement to Contracting Officer Daniel Poehling by the response deadline of June 19, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The government retains discretion regarding the determination to open competition based on responses received.
