Occupational Medical Surveillance Examinations

Solicitation W912QG-21-P-0054 is a sole source bridge contract awarded to Apple Occupational Medical Services LLC to provide Occupational Medical Surveillance Examinations and health services for South Carolina Army National Guard personnel. This action was necessary because Option Year 2 of the previous contract, W912QG-19-P-0036, was not exercised due to COVID-19 restrictions and training requirements that limited employee availability. To ensure federal employees received required statutory exams before the end of fiscal year 2021, the agency bypassed a full solicitation process, as the incumbent contractor had already mobilized the necessary manpower, supplies, and materials. The contract is categorized under NAICS code 621511 and is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Managed by the Department of Defense through the USPFO Activity SC ARNG, the services are performed in Eastover, South Carolina. While market research indicated that multiple small business entities could fulfill the requirement, the urgent time constraints and the need to maintain continuity of medical surveillance services justified the direct award to the incumbent provider.
