This contract is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial physician services issued under Part 12 as a request for quotation, with the solicitation number 75H71026Q00133, aimed at securing emergency medical services at the Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico. The requirement is for emergency physicians with nocturnist capabilities to provide care in both the Main Emergency Department and the SuperTrack area, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted service for Indian Health Service patients. The contractor must supply a minimum of three board-certified or board-eligible emergency physicians with at least three years of experience and 500 hours of emergency department practice within the prior year, all holding valid, unrestricted U.S. state licenses. Personnel must comply with IHS and DHHS IT systems, security policies, and undergo Level I and II background checks, while also maintaining medical fitness and promptly reporting any absences or policy violations. The contract is structured as a labor-hour arrangement with a base period of 12 months from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, and two optional 12-month periods extending the total potential performance period to 36 months. All pricing is provided as an all-inclusive hourly rate without special compensation for holidays or overtime, and the not-to-exceed value for each CLIN remains TBD, placing financial risk on the offeror. The acquisition is specifically set aside for an Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) under the Buy Indian Act, requiring offerors to self-certify as an Indian Economic Enterprise using the IHS IEE Representation Form and maintain that status throughout the offer, award, and performance phases, with immediate notification required if eligibility lapses.

Evaluation will be based on technical capability and price, with award going to the most advantageous offer considering both factors. Performance must adhere to strict quality benchmarks including 100% compliance with IHS medical staff bylaws, policies, and standards, and is subject to surveillance via QASP, periodic inspections, and CPAR evaluations with a four-level rating scale determining payment eligibility.
