The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service (HHS IHS) awarded a single award $29.7 million indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to Avel Ecare LLC, a telemedicine provider, to acquire telehealth support services for the IHS Great Plains Area. The contract covers a broad range of services including virtual care delivery, staffing solutions, medical support, tele-emergency services, behavioral health, diagnostics, and sexual assault nurse examiner capabilities. Multiple firm fixed-price task orders have been issued under this IDIQ, with values ranging from $14,815 to $1.3 million, to provide telehealth services at various IHS locations across South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota. The contracted services aim to improve healthcare access and outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native tribal communities served by the IHS. No set-aside designations were used for the IDIQ or associated task orders.
The original solicitation sought offers from small businesses, including Native American-owned firms, to provide registered diagnostic medical sonographer and mobile ultrasound exam services to support the IHS Woodrow Wilson Memorial Hospital in Sisseton, South Dakota. The one-year base period with three option years would have contractors perform up to 4,000 diagnostic ultrasound exams annually at the Sisseton location to further the IHS mission of delivering federal health services to recognized American Indian and Alaska Native tribal governments.
