***NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE SOLE SOURCE AWARD*** The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Indian Health Service (IHS), Bemidji Area Office, Red Lake Service Unit intends to award a Firm Fixed Priced Contract on a sole source basis to the Red Lake Tribal Council for a base plus 4 option years.
