Blackfeet Service Unit Annual Biomed Equipment Inspection

SOLE SOURCE NOTICE The Billings Area Indian Health Service intends to award a commercial sole source contract to Goldbelt Apex, LLC; UEI: MQ2ETHPEB7T6, an Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) under the authority of the Buy Indian Act and applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) procedures. This acquisition is conducted under HHSAR 326.603-1 (c)(2) which permits the Contracting Officer to consider a sole source award to an ISBEE as authorized under the FAR; and FAR 12.102(a) only one source is available. The Government requires annual biomedical equipment inspection and repairs at the Blackfeet Service Unit, Browning, MT. Performance is required during the period of 8/1/2026 to 7/31/2027. The market research identified Goldbelt Apex, LLC as the only ISBEE capable of meeting the Government's requirement within the required schedule and technical parameters. No other ISBEE was identified with the necessary experience, personnel, certifications, equipment, or geographic capability. A competitive acquisition is not in the Government's best interest because the contractor possesses specialized expertise directly related to the requirement and services are immediate and necessary to avoid disruption to patient care and the mission operations. The proposed contractor has represented that it is an eligible ISBEE under HHSAR 326.601 and has submitted the required Indian Economic Enterprise Representation. Eligibility will be verified prior to award in accordance with HHSAR procedures. Award to Goldbelt Apex, LLC supports the objectives of the Buy Indian Act while ensuring timely performance of a critical Government requirement. The proposed contractor is capable of providing the required services with minimal performance risk and without interruption to Government operations. Based upon the foregoing, I determine that a sole source award to Goldbelt Apex, LLC is justified and is in the best interest of the Government.
