The contract, valued at approximately $2.7 million, was awarded on May 1, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2025. UNMC Physicians, a non-profit healthcare provider affiliated with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, will deliver specialized nephrology services to veterans in the Midwestern region. No set-aside designation was used for this procurement, and the contract represents part of VISN 23's broader strategy to secure specialized medical services through established academic medical center partnerships.

This award demonstrates VISN 23's reliance on UNMC Physicians as a key provider of specialized medical services across multiple clinical disciplines. Beyond nephrology, UNMC Physicians maintains multiple indefinite delivery contracts with VISN 23 covering dermatology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, and other specialties, with contract values ranging from approximately $140,000 to over $6.3 million. The nephrology contract exemplifies the VA's approach to delivering high-quality, specialized physician services to veterans by leveraging the clinical expertise and infrastructure of academic medical centers without utilizing small business set-asides.
