Purchase Order 75H71021P00780

The Indian Health Service (IHS) awarded a $17,127 firm fixed-price purchase order to The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (doing business as The Joint Commission) on March 11, 2021, for the Joint Commission Resources Arizona Continuous Survey Readiness Program under the FY26 UDO Initiative. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2021, will be performed in Gallup, New Mexico, and was awarded without a set-aside designation. This award represents a task order or delivery against The Joint Commission's existing $7.5 million IHS IDIQ contract, which provides comprehensive healthcare accreditation, certification, and recognition services agency-wide, including on-site and virtual accreditation surveys, mock surveys, annual accreditation and certification fees, and technical assistance for IHS facilities serving American Indian and Alaska Native populations.

The Joint Commission is a leading non-profit healthcare accreditation organization headquartered in Illinois that accredits and certifies over 20,000 healthcare organizations across the United States. The organization has established itself as a critical federal contractor, maintaining multiple indefinite delivery vehicles totaling hundreds of millions of dollars across the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Veterans Affairs, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other federal health agencies. The Arizona Continuous Survey Readiness Program delivery order reflects The Joint Commission's ongoing role in supporting IHS healthcare quality improvement and regulatory compliance efforts at facilities serving tribal communities.
