USMS Medical Direction and Oversight

The United States Marshals Service (USMS), under the Department of Justice's Oss Procurement Division, is soliciting quotes for a firm fixed-price contract to provide medical oversight, physician-directed provider certification, and ongoing operational and training support for the USMS Special Operations Group (SOG) Medic Program. This procurement, identified by solicitation number M-26-A31-R-000137 and posted on June 3, 2026, requires vendor registration in SAM.gov with eligibility for award. The contract performance will extend over a base period of 12 months starting July 1, 2026, with four additional 12-month option periods and a possible six-month extension, primarily servicing locations within the District of Columbia and potentially at other USMS SOG sites. Key responsibilities include comprehensive medical program oversight for approximately 25 SOG Operator Medics, physician licensure and medication authorization for about 30 medications—including controlled substances—annual tactical and operational medical training aligned with TCCC and TECC guidelines, off-line medical direction, operational support including on-site participation during SOG selection courses, and consultation for maintaining electronic patient care record systems and treatment protocols. The contract imposes stringent qualifications for the Medical Director and other key personnel, mandating valid state medical and DEA licenses, board certification in Emergency Medicine, a minimum of 20 years’ federal tactical medicine oversight experience, EMS medical direction compliance, proficiency in tactical emergency medicine techniques such as ultrasounds, active research engagement with related publications, and the ability to obtain or possess a Top Secret security clearance. Contractors must be academic medical centers with Level 1 trauma capabilities including stroke, cardiac intervention, and eye trauma centers and maintain malpractice insurance alongside medical insurance coverage tailored for high-risk tactical environments. Delivery and quality assurance are governed by a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan with zero tolerance for deviations in critical tasks such as medical oversight and physician licensure compliance. Submissions require detailed proposals including a cover letter with company and contract vehicle identifications, technical responses addressing all performance requirements with suggestions for revisions, and past performance summaries, all subject to evaluation primarily on key personnel credentials. The contract also requires contractors to comply with installation security policies, provide personnel rosters for clearance within 10 days of award, submit a Quality Control Plan shortly after award, and prepare a transition phase-out plan for contract close-out ensuring continuity of operations and proper transfer of government property and data.
