The Indian Health Service, Navajo Area, Shiprock Service Unit, Four Corners Regional Health Center (FCRHC) in Teec Nos Pos, AZ intends to restrict competition and negotiate an award with Carefusion Solutions LLC (UEI: E99HA2K3YTG8) for automated dispensing cabinet systems and services. The projected period of performance is 2/1/2026-1/31/2027 with four one-year options.
