Background Indian Health Service (IHS) primary mission is to raise the physical, mental, social and spiritual health of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest level. In order to accomplish this objective, we work diligently to assure that comprehensive, culturally acceptable personal and public health services are available and accessible to American Indian and Alaska Native people. The basis for these goals is rooted in our duty to uphold the Federal Government's obligation to promote healthy American Indian and Alaska Native people, communities and cultures and to honor and protect the inherent sovereign rights of tribes. The Nashville Area covers the region from Maine to Florida to Texas. Within the region, the Tribes themselves run most of the health programs. There are a few federal direct care facilities in need of bio-medical services. Nashville Area is proud to administer Project TransAm, a source of medical equipment available for reutilization to IHS and Tribes running IHS programs. In the last 10 Years, the program has distributed $33 Million worth of medical equipment and supplies to Tribes across the country from the US Department of Defense (DOD), Veterans Affairs (VA), and other federal sources. Basic Service Requirements The Nashville Area is seeking interested Bio-medical Service Companies capable of testing, certification, and basic repair of medical and dental equipment. Service frequency will be based upon manufacturer recommendations. All facilities are small, less than 8,000 SF, outpatient clinics in the following locations: Presque Isle, ME Mashpee, MA Lockport, NY Rock Hill, SC The Project TransAm warehouse is located in Murfreesboro, TN. Equipment brought into this program from other federal agencies needs to be tested and certified prior to distribution on an as needed basis (once a month to every other month).
