ER Physician and Physician Extender Services

The Naval Medical Logistics Command has established a sole source, firm-fixed price contract with Medical Faculty Associates, Inc. to provide emergency room physician and physician extender services at the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) in Bethesda, Maryland, as well as at branch clinics within a 60-mile radius. This contract acts as a bridge to extend existing services previously covered under contract N62645-04-C-4084. The service period spans from February 14, 2009, to September 30, 2009. Medical Faculty Associates, Inc. has been selected exclusively due to their unique capability to supply healthcare professionals already privileged at these locations, which prevents delays associated with credentialing and privileging new personnel. This contract is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 622110, pertaining to general medical and surgical hospitals. The Naval Medical Logistics Command, part of the Department of Defense and headquartered at Fort Detrick, Maryland, oversees the contract, with primary points of contact being Supervisory Contracting Officer Melanie L. Muscar and Contract Specialist Heather M. Huston. Interested parties could direct inquiries to the acquisition office prior to the award date. The urgency to maintain continuous healthcare coverage and specialized staffing at naval medical facilities underscores the contract's structure and sole source justification.
