The Indian Health Service (IHS), a civilian agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, has awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a ceiling value of $30,000,000 to Nuwest Group Holdings LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, to provide COVID-19 response and contact tracing support services. The IDC was established in May 2021 to augment IHS's in-house pandemic response operations and help slow viral transmission among American Indian and Alaska Native populations across 12 states.
Under this multiple award IDC, IHS has issued Nuwest 16 firm fixed price, labor hour, and time and materials delivery orders totaling over $30 million to date. The contracted services include contact tracing, testing support, public health nursing, laboratory services, data analysis, and temporary clinical staffing for Tribal healthcare facilities and service units. No set-aside designations were used for the awards due to the urgent pandemic response requirements. The performance period extends through May 2024.
