Purchase Order 75H71125P00100

This is a firm-fixed-price purchase order contract awarded by the Indian Health Service (IHS), a civilian agency of the U.S. government, to the Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative, a non-profit organization. The contract is for $23,615.00 and has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025. The contract is for the provision of TJC Data Quality Indicator Collection and Submission services, which involve collecting and submitting required quality indicators to The Joint Commission on behalf of IHS hospitals. This supports the IHS's Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) programs and ensures compliance with Joint Commission quality metrics reporting requirements.

The contract is not set-aside and is issued against a $250,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) that the Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative holds with the IHS, which was originally established to support data collection and submission for the Claremore and Lawton Indian Hospitals in Oklahoma. The BPA has since been utilized to support additional IHS facilities nationwide.

In addition to the federal contract, the Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative has also received a grant from the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, a division of the Health Resources and Services Administration, to support the development and sustainability of rural health networks. This grant work aims to improve access to care, enhance the quality of healthcare services, and strengthen the rural healthcare system for American Indian and Alaska Native communities served by IHS programs.
