UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI SYSTEM

The University of Missouri System delivers specialized physician services and academic medical support to federal agencies through affiliated clinical partnerships, primarily serving veterans’ healthcare needs. Its core capabilities center on the provision of subspecialty physician staffing—including rheumatology, neurology, neurosurgery, urology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and general surgery—to Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers. These services are delivered under task orders and option year exercises that integrate academic medical expertise with federal healthcare delivery systems, ensuring continuity of care through established affiliate networks. The institution’s technical expertise lies in managing complex clinical workforce agreements that align academic faculty practice with VA operational requirements, emphasizing compliance with federal healthcare standards, credentialing protocols, and integrated care models. A key differentiator is its ability to leverage university-affiliated medical professionals to meet mission-critical staffing needs in high-demand specialty areas without direct federal employment. The University of Missouri System maintains a dominant relationship with the Department of Veterans Affairs, consistently providing physician services across multiple specialty lines at the Columbia VA Medical Center. It also supports the Department of Defense through tuition ratification for NROTC midshipmen, demonstrating its capacity to manage federal education funding mechanisms tied to military service obligations. Its primary industry focus is on 611310—Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools—where it functions as an academic medical provider delivering clinical services under federal contract. This positions the institution as a unique bridge between higher education and federal healthcare delivery, specializing in physician staffing and academic-affiliated care models rather than traditional procurement of goods or general services. As a public university system headquartered in Columbia, Missouri, with no federal certifications, the University of Missouri System operates as a non-profit educational entity engaged in government contracting through its affiliated medical practices. Its geographic presence is anchored in Missouri, with federal engagements concentrated at VA and DoD facilities in the Midwest.
