Required next actionReview the live SAM.gov special notice and submit capability information only if the complete immediate bridge requirement can be met by October 5, 2026, including uninterrupted 24/7 RN coverage, applicable licensing and credentialing, evidence-based triage protocols, privacy and security safeguards, telecommunications, documentation, reporting, and transition requirements.
Broad Eligibility
Any responsible source that can satisfy the complete immediate bridge requirement without interrupting existing services may submit timely capability information. IHS intends a separate competitive Phoenix Area-wide acquisition for the longer-term requirement.
Atlas Analysis
IHS has withdrawn the earlier one-source posture and now describes the six-month bridge as an urgent continuity action while it develops a competitive Phoenix Area-wide follow-on acquisition. Targeted WorkDrive review found no documented Dr. Miltie nurse telephone triage capability, so no direct federal response is being advanced.
Opportunity Overview
The Indian Health Service Phoenix Area Office has posted Nurse Telephone Triage/Nurse Advice Line Services, ACQ_IHS_2026_U_01033_01, a special notice for a limited-duration bridge action under unusual and compelling urgency while IHS develops a competitive longer-term Phoenix Area requirement.

The indexed notice identifies Risen Video Production, LLC as the intended bridge source based on existing operational capability, while stating that timely capability information from other responsible sources will be considered if they can satisfy the complete immediate requirement.
