The procurement supports IHS hospitals, clinics, and service units across South Dakota and North Dakota.
Contract Value and Term
The solicitation states an estimated contract ceiling of less than $2 million and a $1,000 minimum guarantee. The anticipated ordering period consists of one base year plus four one-year option periods.
Deadline
Quotations are due September 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time. Questions were due September 4, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time. Offerors should recheck the controlling SAM.gov notice and attachments immediately before submission for any amendment or schedule change.
Scope of Work
The contractor must furnish a complete hematology testing solution, including new analyzers and required peripherals, reagents and consumables, installation, calibration and validation, software and updates, laboratory information system interface support, on-site training, warranty, preventive maintenance, repair services, and technical support. The published solicitation materials identify required analyzer capabilities including automated CBC testing with six-part differential, immature granulocyte reporting, open and closed tube sampling, pediatric-tube capability, barcode reading, STAT capability, and automated reagent management.
South Dakota performance locations listed in the solicitation include IHS facilities in Eagle Butte, Fort Thompson, Kyle, Lower Brule, McLaughlin, Pine Ridge, Rosebud, Sisseton, Yankton, Wanblee, and other Great Plains Area locations. The procurement therefore has direct statewide healthcare-delivery relevance even though the contract also covers North Dakota facilities.

The solicitation identifies NAICS 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a 1,000-employee size standard, and PSC 6640, Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. Offerors must satisfy the solicitation’s small-business eligibility requirements and provide the required UEI, active SAM registration, and responsible-offeror documentation.
Technical submissions must demonstrate compliance with the Performance Work Statement and salient characteristics and include supporting product literature/specifications, warranty and maintenance approach, training plan, LIS-interface capability, and applicable Section 508 documentation. Pricing is required on a firm-fixed CPRR basis encompassing the required products and services. Award is based on best value considering technical acceptability, price fairness/reasonableness, and contractor responsibility.
Atlas Fit Assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 68/100. This is a substantial, active federal healthcare procurement with a multi-year structure, meaningful South Dakota deployment footprint, and a published ceiling below $2 million. It is highly relevant to laboratory and diagnostic-equipment vendors that meet the small-business and technical requirements.
N9+ Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. Direct Dr. Miltie fit: 0/100. The verified scope is hematology analyzer equipment, reagents, consumables, laboratory integration, and technical support. It does not establish a legitimate pathway for the Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform or QC Healthcare clinical staffing/services. Atlas should not force a commercial fit or represent Dr. Miltie as a qualified prime without a qualifying analyzer capability.
