Boxelder JCC Medical Services

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service seeks on-site medical services for Box Elder Job Corps Center in Nemo, South Dakota, with quotations due November 5, 2026. This is a 100% small business set-aside (NAICS 621111, size standard $16 million) with unrestricted competition within that pool.

Place of performance is Nemo, SD 57759. The contract requires physicians, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants to provide examinations, assessments, treatment, prescriptions, immunizations, and health monitoring for an estimated 100–300 enrolled students ages 16–24. Certified nurse practitioners may independently provide up to half of required physician hours under a formal collaborative agreement. All services must be delivered on-site; telehealth is not permitted. Contractors must hold valid unrestricted medical licenses, active DEA registration with a South Dakota address, and minimum $1 million medical liability insurance.

The base contract runs December 15, 2026 through December 14, 2027 at 400 billable annual hours structured as firm-fixed-price hourly rates. Four optional one-year renewals and a potential six-month extension (December 15, 2031–June 14, 2032, priced as a separate line item but not guaranteed) follow. Hours are approximately 8 per week, typically one to two days weekly, 8 AM–5 PM. Documentation, meetings, prescription follow-ups, and after-hours calls fall outside compensated time. Scheduling is mutually agreed; there is no guaranteed utilization minimum. Current student census is 95 with 28–35 monthly encounters and approximately 20 new intake physicals monthly. The government provides student health records, training, supplies, vaccines, and clinical facilities; contractors supply personal medical equipment.

Award is based on best value, with technical capability and past performance (within the past three years) weighted more heavily than price. Small business prime contractors are subject to FAR 52.219–14 and may not subcontract the majority of clinical services to large businesses. Quotations must include resumes, licenses, insurance documentation, and pricing for all contract line items and are submitted electronically to Louis Lieb (Louis.Lieb@usda.gov).
