AI Contract Overview

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) plans to award a sole source contract to the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) to provide accreditation services for USCG ambulatory clinics. This contract is justified under federal regulations that allow non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source exists and no alternative services meet the agency’s requirements. The USCG currently relies on AAAHC’s proprietary standards, which are essential for maintaining continuous, CMS-recognized accreditation and ensuring consistent quality healthcare for its beneficiaries. Switching to another provider would cause significant delays and increase costs without benefit to the government. Although this is a sole source intent, other qualified entities may submit capability statements to demonstrate their ability to provide similar ambulatory clinic accreditation services that align with CMS-recognized standards. These submissions will be considered to decide whether to proceed with competitive procurement or continue with the sole source award. The contract falls under NAICS code 813920 with a small business size standard of $24 million. Interested parties must submit their capability statements electronically by June 19, 2025, to the designated USCG contact. The performance location for this contract is Norfolk, VA, and the contracting office is based in Washington, DC, under the Department of Homeland Security.

Full Description

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) intends to solicit and negotiate a sole source contract with Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) to provide USCG Ambulatory Clinic Accreditation Services. This action is being conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A) and (B) (Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements). The USCG currently utilizes AAAHC's proprietary standards and accreditation services at its USCG ambulatory clinics. Consistent application of these healthcare standards and services supports the USCG's requirement for continuity of care for USCG beneficiaries. The Government has determined that AAAHC is the only source recognized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) capable of providing these highly specialized accreditation services without substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Utilizing an alternate source would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the USCG's requirement for continuous, accredited ambulatory clinic services. This announcement constitutes the only notice of this intent. A formal solicitation will not be issued. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet the USCG's requirements. Any capability statements received will be considered for the purpose of determining to cancel this action and conduct a competitive procurement. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 813920 (Professional Organizations), with a small business size standard of $24 million. Interested parties may submit capability statements electronically to jessica.a.griffin@uscg.mil no later than June 19, 2025, at 12:00pm EST. Capability statements should clearly and concisely demonstrate the offeror's technical qualifications, experience, and ability to provide ambulatory clinic accreditation services that meet or exceed AAAHC's standards and are recognized by CMS.
