Freestanding Ambulatory Surgical and Emergency Centers

NAICS 621493 - Freestanding Ambulatory Surgical and Emergency Centers encompasses medical facilities that provide surgical and emergency care services outside traditional hospital settings. These centers specialize in outpatient surgical procedures, emergency treatments, and related medical services across multiple specialties. The facilities are designed to offer efficient, focused medical interventions with shorter patient stays and specialized care environments.

Federal contract awards in this NAICS category demonstrate consistent engagement from agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Indian Health Service (IHS). Contract values range from approximately $11,000 to $27 million, typically spanning one to five-year performance periods. Frequent awardees include medical service providers such as Banner Phoenix Surgery Center, LLC, Oklahoma State University, and Tribal Health, LLC. Most contracts are fixed-price with economic price adjustment mechanisms and do not utilize specific small business set-asides. Common services include ambulatory surgery support, emergency department staffing, occupational medical surveillance, and first aid services across various medical specialties including orthopedics, ophthalmology, urology, and general surgery.

Recent federal contract opportunities focus on off-site surgical support services, primarily for VA medical centers. The opportunities seek contractors to provide fully equipped operating room facilities, comprehensive surgical support staff, and medical infrastructure within proximity to VA hospitals. Key requirements include maintaining accreditation, providing credentialed medical personnel, and ensuring compliance with VA policies. Solicitations cover services in locations like Charleston, SC and Tampa, FL, with contract structures typically involving base years plus multiple option periods. The opportunities emphasize the need for qualified contractors to support surgical services across specialties such as ophthalmology, orthopedics, podiatry, and general surgery, with an expressed intent to serve veterans and federal beneficiaries.
