The clauses and provisions apply to the resulting Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA).
The solicitation incorporates approximately 40 FAR clauses covering ethics, whistleblower protections, System for Award Management requirements, commercial services terms, employment eligibility verification, privacy protections, security requirements, and labor standards compliance. Five HHSAR clauses are included, emphasizing Indian Preference under the Buy Indian Act, Indian Economic Enterprise requirements, and electronic payment submission procedures. The document notes that clauses incorporated by reference have the same force and effect as full text. Two clauses are provided in full text: FAR 52.222-42 identifying Radiologic Technologist as the employee class subject to Service Contract Labor Standards, and FAR 52.237-7 requiring the contractor to maintain medical liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, indemnify the Government, and provide evidence of insurability prior to award. Additionally, HHSAR 352.226-4 requires offerors to be Indian Economic Enterprises and small business concerns, with submission of an IHS Indian Economic Enterprise Representation form. A notice clarifies that System for Award Management updates may lag policy changes, and contracting officers will rely on representations based on solicitation provisions only.

(a) It is expressly agreed and understood that this is a nonpersonal services contract, under which the professional services rendered by the Contractor are rendered in its capacity as an independent contractor. The Government may evaluate the quality of professional and administrative services provided, but retains no control over professional aspects of the services rendered, including by example, the Contractor's professional medical judgment, diagnosis, or specific medical treatments.
The Contractor shall be solely liable for and expressly agrees to indemnify the Government with respect to any liability producing acts or omissions by it or by its employees or agents. The Contractor shall maintain during the term of this contract liability insurance issued by a responsible insurance carrier of not less than the following amount(s) per specialty per occurrence: _$1,000,000.00__.

Final payment under this contract shall be withheld until evidence of the extended reporting endorsement is provided to the Contracting Officer.
(e) The policies evidencing required insurance shall also contain an endorsement to the effect that any cancellation or material change adversely affecting the Government's interest shall not be effective until 30 days after the insurer or the Contractor gives written notice to the Contracting Officer. If during the performance period of the contract the Contractor changes insurance providers, the Contractor must provide evidence that the Government will be indemnified to the limits specified in paragraph (a) of this clause, for the entire period of the contract, either under the new policy, or a combination of old and new policies.
(f) The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (f), in all subcontracts under this contract for health care services and shall require such subcontractors to provide evidence of and maintain insurance in accordance with paragraph (a) of this clause.
