Pine Ridge Medical Services

Solicitation number 1282A726Q0023 is a Request for Quotation issued by the USDA Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture for the provision of comprehensive medical services at the Pine Ridge Job Corps Center located in Chadron, Nebraska. This procurement is a total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 621111, targeting medical practitioners capable of delivering on-site care including examinations, assessments, treatment, prescription issuance, immunizations, health monitoring, hospitalization recommendations, follow-up care, and prevention/intervention services, fully aligned with the Statement of Work attached to the solicitation. The services are to be provided weekly, typically one or two days per week during standard business hours, with staffing requirements including licensed physicians and/or nurse practitioners or physician assistants holding active, unrestricted licenses to practice in the state. The contractor must maintain necessary malpractice and general liability insurance coverage, adhere to federal, state, and Job Corps regulations including HIPAA and OSHA standards, and ensure confidentiality and security of all student health records, which remain the property of the U.S. Government. Contractor responsibilities include establishing a medical referral system for special or emergent care needs, submitting monthly health-related reports to center officials, participating in government assessments and teleconferences, and managing time and billing in coordination with the center via established invoicing platforms. Key personnel must maintain open communication lines with center health officials and the Contracting Officer’s Representative, with substitution protocols subject to approval. The Government will furnish adequate workspace, equipment, and supplies necessary for performance, though funds are currently not available and no award will be made until funding is secured. The solicitation includes a firm deadline for quote submission with strict requirements that all proposals include pricing and complete credentials of proposed candidates—resumes, licensure, and proof of insurance—to avoid non-responsiveness. The Government reserves the right to cancel the solicitation at any point without reimbursement to offerors.
