About this vehicle
The Indian Health Service established a Master IDIQ for COVID-19 Response and Contact Tracing Support Services on May 26, 2021, with ordering closed effective May 31, 2024. Ordering is no longer open; the last task order was awarded May 30, 2024.
The vehicle was structured as a Time-and-Material multiple-award IDIQ for staffing services supporting Indian Health Service pandemic response across tribal communities nationwide. Labor categories included Contact Tracers, Case Investigators, Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, Psych Technicians, Pharmacy Technicians, Supply Technicians, and Program Assistants. Task orders funded nursing services, laboratory support, locum placement, and epidemiology staffing at specific IHS service units and health centers, with places of performance distributed across the service units (Phoenix Indian Medical Center, Fort Yuma, Yakama Service Unit, Chinle Hospital, and others).
Nuwest Group Holdings LLC dominates the vehicle with 27 of 31 task orders valued at $18 million combined potential value; Am Trace LLC holds the remaining 4 orders worth $207 thousand. All task orders serve the Indian Health Service exclusively. The vehicle carried no set-aside designation.
Ordering activity peaked in 2022 with 14 awards, declined to 5 in 2023, and fell to 3 in 2024. Of the $18.2 million combined potential value across 31 task orders, $16.9 million (93 percent) has been obligated. Most recent orders from early 2024 reflect Registered Nurse and Public Health Nurse services at specific medical centers with completion dates extending into 2025 and 2026, though with modest individual values ($250–$800 thousand per order). Many orders issued in 2022 and later include de-obligation and closeout language, indicating wind-down of the pandemic response mission.
