Atlas Analysis
Montana IHS healthcare-agency IT infrastructure procurement for an area-wide server refresh. N9+ Fit 0/100. Dr. Miltie direct-vendor fit 0/100 because qualifying ISBEE status and server/network hardware supply capability are not established.
The Indian Health Service (IHS), Billings Area Office, is soliciting compute servers and network switches for an area-wide server refresh under 75H70926BAO-069-RFQ.
The requirement calls for new, OEM-warranted commercial server equipment on a brand-name-or-equal basis for the Billings Area Office. The solicitation includes two server/compute configurations, requires compliant new equipment rather than used, refurbished, gray-market, or counterfeit products, and incorporates network and accessibility requirements including IPv6 and Section 508.
Response Deadline
Amendment Three extended the quotation deadline to September 18, 2026 at 1:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time. Amendment Four states that the Small Business Administration approved the Nonmanufacturer Rule waiver applicable to this solicitation. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
Eligibility and Contract Structure
This acquisition is a 100% Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-aside under NAICS 334111 and PSC 7B22. Offerors must satisfy the solicitation’s Buy Indian/ISBEE requirements, active SAM registration, technical requirements, past-performance requirements, pricing requirements, and all representations and certifications.
The contemplated award is based on best value. Delivery is to the IHS Billings Area Office in Billings, Montana, with delivery required within 60 days after award.
Atlas Review
This is a Montana healthcare-agency IT infrastructure procurement rather than an applicant grant. It has no identified N9+ fit. Dr. Miltie direct-vendor pursuit is not supported on the current record because ISBEE eligibility and the required server/network hardware supply capability are not established.
