Purchase Order 75H71022P01467

The Indian Health Service (IHS) awarded a $1.29 million purchase order to RAO Radiologists, Inc., doing business as Pulse Healthcare Services, for registered nursing services at the Gallup Indian Medical Center in Gallup, New Mexico. This modification (MOD 15) adds funds to the existing labor-hour contract, which runs through March 31, 2026. The award was made without a set-aside designation to the Vienna, Virginia-based small disadvantaged business, which specializes in providing healthcare staffing services to federal agencies, particularly the IHS. Pulse Healthcare Services is a Subcontinent Asian American-owned firm with extensive experience supplying qualified registered nurses to federal medical facilities.

The contract fulfills the IHS's requirement for registered nursing services across multiple clinical departments at the Gallup Indian Medical Center, with particular focus on the emergency department. The original solicitation, posted in November 2021, sought nursing personnel with specialized certifications including Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support to support critical healthcare needs across emergency departments, intensive care units, perioperative services, and other clinical areas. The contract supports the IHS's mission to provide healthcare services to Native American and Alaska Native populations. The labor-hour pricing structure allows for flexibility in staffing levels to meet the medical center's operational requirements throughout the performance period.
