The Indian Health Service's Albuquerque Area Office has issued a Sources Sought (Request for Information) notice to determine whether the requirement for laboratory quality-control materials at the Zuni Comprehensive Community Health Center in Zuni, New Mexico, can be set aside 100% for small businesses under the Buy Indian Act (ISBEE). The ZCCHC laboratory needs commercially available QC materials to verify the accuracy, precision, and reliability of clinical testing on government-owned instrumentation, in compliance with CLIA, CAP, and FDA requirements, under NAICS 325413 (PSC 6550), with an anticipated ordering period of one base year plus four option years.
