IHS Behavioral Health Services Tucson Area 2014-2015

The Indian Health Service (IHS) Behavioral Health Services Tucson Area Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is focused on providing outpatient behavioral health counseling services for eligible beneficiaries within the Tucson Area Office jurisdiction. This contract vehicle enables the IHS to rapidly procure behavioral health counseling services through a streamlined acquisition process, allowing for multiple task orders to be issued against the master contract. The primary service being contracted is professional behavioral health counseling, targeted specifically at serving eligible beneficiaries in the Tucson Area region.

The task orders under this contract are consistently set aside for total small businesses and demonstrate a pattern of relatively modest funding levels, ranging from $2,345 to $29,730. Each task order is structured with a firm fixed price and typically covers outpatient behavioral health counseling services, with performance periods aligned to the fiscal year (ending September 30). All task orders were awarded between November 2014 and May 2015, indicating a concentrated period of service procurement. The contract appears focused on providing targeted, short-term behavioral health interventions for Indian Health Service beneficiaries in the Tucson Area, with an emphasis on supporting small business contractors in delivering these critical healthcare services. While specific prime contractors are not identified in the provided documentation, the consistent small business set-aside suggests an intentional approach to supporting smaller healthcare service providers.
