Purchase Order 75H70424P00013

The Indian Health Service awarded Optum360 LLC, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $1.09M for American Medical Association (AMA) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) licenses and quarterly updates through December 2028. The contract encompasses the base year plus four one-year option periods and delivers approximately 1,067 staffed bed licenses and 1,040 billing provider full-time equivalent licenses to support IHS's clinical documentation, claims processing, and medical coding operations across hospital and ambulatory service settings. Optum360, an authorized distributor of AMA coding products, is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement based on its extensive experience providing medical coding resources and revenue cycle management solutions to federal healthcare agencies.

The original solicitation was posted by IHS as a "Buy Indian" set-aside requirement under the Native American Contracting Program, designating the procurement for Indian Economic Enterprises with 51% Indian ownership. However, the award was made with no set-aside designation noted, suggesting either a modification to the solicitation terms or a competitive result among eligible vendors. The contract supports IHS's mission to deliver comprehensive healthcare services to American Indian and Alaska Native populations by ensuring access to current medical coding standards and tools necessary for accurate clinical documentation and insurance reimbursement across the agency's healthcare delivery network.
