IHS Nursing Services 2013-2018

The Indian Health Service awarded this Master IDIQ for nursing services on March 26, 2013, with a shared ceiling of $2.5 million and a final ordering date of April 7, 2019—now closed for more than seven years. This vehicle is not an active procurement avenue.

The IDIQ supported contract nursing, registered nurse, and nurse practitioner staffing across IHS service units and hospitals during 2013–2017. Task orders funded work at multiple locations including Mescalero, Zuni, and Santa Fe service units, as well as named regional treatment and acute care facilities. All 144 task orders were unrestricted (no set-aside designation).

Five vendors captured 90 percent of the awarded orders. Amedistaf, LLC held 64 orders worth $922 thousand in combined potential value, followed by AB Staffing Solutions LLC with 21 orders ($581 thousand), C & A Industries, Inc. with 16 orders ($711 thousand), Onward Healthcare, Inc. with 22 orders ($287 thousand), and Maxim Healthcare Services, Inc. with 7 orders ($283 thousand). The remaining four primes shared a long tail of minor awards.

Ordering activity peaked in 2014 with 90 awards, then declined sharply to 21 orders in 2015, 6 in 2016, and 3 in 2017. The most recent task order was issued September 12, 2017. The combined potential value across all 144 orders reached $3.2 million, with 100 percent of that value obligated by the final data snapshot. Individual task orders typically ranged from roughly $3,000 to $171 thousand, with most clustering below $50 thousand. A single order to Amedistaf for Mescalero Service Unit nursing services (awarded August 21, 2014) reached $171 thousand. All work was firm-fixed-price.

The Indian Health Service was the sole customer, placing all 144 orders under this vehicle. No successor IDIQ is identified in the source material.
