Single Source Justification Less Than SAT - OSMP 2025_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Limited Source Justification for the United States Department of Agriculture's Occupational Medical Surveillance Program. The procurement is for medical surveillance services for USDA-ARS employees who are potentially exposed to workplace hazards, with the goal of identifying and preventing work-related health issues. The Longest Student Health Center at Mississippi State University is the sole recommended provider, as they are the only certified medical provider within a two-hour driving distance capable of meeting all required services.

The contract period is from September 30, 2025 to January 31, 2026. The justification for sole sourcing is based on the provider's proximity (10 miles from the location), ability to conduct medical examinations during field experiment seasons, and comprehensive knowledge of occupational health in the area. The program office conducted market research but found no alternative providers willing to support all aspects of the Occupational and Medical Surveillance Program (OSMP) services within a reasonable distance.
