The U.S. Air Force Materiel Command awarded a delivery order valued at $742,305.17 to Luke & Associates, Inc. (doing business as South Florida Pathology) on March 29, 2019, for a Nurse Practitioner (Family) position supporting the 66 Medical Squadron at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts. The contract, which operated on a firm fixed-price basis with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024, was not designated as a set-aside for small business or other socioeconomic categories. Luke & Associates is a healthcare staffing provider with extensive experience furnishing medical personnel to Department of Defense facilities and has maintained registration in SAM.gov since October 2004.
Luke & Associates' selection reflects the company's established track record as a primary medical staffing contractor across federal healthcare systems, supported by over 50 federal contract awards totaling more than $200 million. The company likely leveraged its $43 billion Medical Q-Coded Support and Services Next Generation (MQS2NG) multiple-award contract with the Defense Health Agency to fulfill this delivery order requirement. The MQS2NG vehicle, which extends through May 31, 2029, enables flexible procurement of healthcare professionals including nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and other clinical personnel across military medical facilities nationwide, making it the probable parent contract for this Hanscom AFB staffing requirement.
