Indian Health Service (IHS) intends to award a sole source contract to Getinge USA Sales for preventive maintenance and repair services for government-owned Getinge sterilization and related equipment. Services include labor, tools, parts, proprietary software access, and materials. The equipment is proprietary to Getinge, requiring OEM-certified technicians and proprietary tools. Market research confirmed no other vendors can meet the requirement due to exclusive access to proprietary systems. The contract period is 36 months with four 12-month option periods, starting June 8, 2026. This acquisition is conducted under the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program. Any responsible source believing they can meet the requirement may submit a capability statement by June 11, 2026.
The base year for performance is from June 8, 2026, through June 7, 2027, with four one-year option periods. The anticipated period of performance includes a one year base period from June 12, 2026, through June 11, 2027, with four one year option periods.
The award will be made on a best value basis. Award to Getinge USA Sales represents the best value because it ensures access to OEM certified technicians, proprietary tools, and system controls necessary to maintain equipment performance and compliance with healthcare standards.
The contractor must be OEM-certified and have exclusive access to proprietary software, diagnostic tools, and parts. Getinge USA Sales is the original equipment manufacturer OEM of the sterilization and related equipment installed at PIMC. The equipment is proprietary and requires OEM-certified technicians, proprietary diagnostic tools, and access to manufacturer-controlled software and passwords that are periodically updated and not available to third-party vendors.

Attempting to obtain lower-priced services through non-OEM vendors has previously resulted in performance issues and delays, which ultimately increased operational risk and reduced overall value to the government.
