UNIVERSITY OF PUERTO RICO MEDICAL SCIENCES CAMPUS

The University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus delivers higher education and specialized outpatient health services under federal contracts, primarily supporting military and public health missions. Its core capabilities include tuition and academic program administration for defense-affiliated students, alongside the delivery of outpatient Hansen’s disease services—encompassing diagnosis, screening, case management, and longitudinal patient follow-up across diverse U.S. healthcare settings. The institution also operates ambulatory care clinics, demonstrating expertise in chronic disease management, public health outreach, and federally compliant clinical operations. Technical strengths lie in integrating academic training with clinical service delivery, ensuring compliance with federal health protocols and workforce development standards for underserved populations. A key differentiator is its dual role as both an academic institution and a direct provider of federally funded ambulatory care, enabling seamless translation of research and education into frontline public health outcomes. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering tuition and academic support services to military personnel and their dependents, while also partnering with the Department of Health and Human Services to provide specialized infectious disease care and ambulatory clinic operations. These engagements reflect a pattern of sustained collaboration focused on workforce development and targeted public health intervention. Its primary industry focus is in higher education (NAICS 611310), where it functions as a degree-granting institution serving federal workforce needs, and in outpatient health services (NAICS 621999 and 622110), where it delivers clinically intensive, community-based care for neglected tropical diseases and general ambulatory needs. This positions the entity as a unique hybrid actor in the federal contracting landscape—bridging academia and direct patient care. As a 2A entity based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the institution operates as a public academic medical campus with no federal certifications on record. Its geographic presence is anchored in Puerto Rico, with service delivery extending nationally through HHS-funded programs, establishing a niche role in federal health equity and military education initiatives.
