PIMC Nurse Practitioner and PA Services 2016-2021

The Indian Health Service established this Master IDIQ on May 19, 2016, to procure nurse practitioner and physician assistant services, along with related clinical staffing, at Phoenix Indian Medical Center. Ordering closed on May 31, 2022, and the vehicle is no longer available for new task orders.

The vehicle funded 161 delivery orders totaling $18 million in combined potential value, with all funds obligated. Activity peaked in 2018–2019 (35 and 34 orders per year) and declined sharply in 2020–2022 (18, 13, and 1 order), reflecting closeout activity. Most recent orders from 2021 onward were deobligations and contract closures. All orders were unrestricted (99% no set-aside; 1% partial small business), and all funding came from Indian Health Service.

Awarded task orders span nurse practitioner and physician assistant services in emergency medicine and primary care, professional nursing services across RN-1, RN-2, and LPN classifications, and ancillary clinical positions including medical laboratory technicians, histotechnicians, radiologists, and surgical technicians. Individual delivery order values typically ranged from roughly $18 thousand to $625 thousand, with most in the $30 thousand to $350 thousand range. Notable larger orders include a professional nursing (RN-1) services order for $624.9 thousand (May 2020) and an ER physician assistant/nurse practitioner order for $519.3 thousand (November 2019).

Five primes dominated awards: CHG Companies, Inc. held the largest combined potential value at $4.7 million across 21 orders; Vista Staffing Solutions, Inc. held $3 million across 14 orders; and AB Staffing Solutions LLC, Nursefinders, LLC, and Sterling Medical Associates, Inc. collectively held roughly $6.4 million. These five firms account for 78 percent of combined potential value and 62 percent of order count. A broader field of smaller staffing contractors split the remainder.

All work was performed at Phoenix Indian Medical Center and subordinate Indian Health Service field sites including Camp Verde, Arizona.
