About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Medical Command is seeking a non-personal services contract for a Catholic Priest at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center located in Fort Cavazos, Texas. The contract will require a fully ordained Roman Catholic Priest with a minimum of four units of Clinical Pastoral Education and three years of experience working with Lay Catholic Ministers. The priest will be responsible for conducting Catholic masses, administering sacraments, providing pastoral counseling, visiting patient wards, and responding to emergency religious needs. The procurement will utilize a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, with the government considering all responsible sources in making the award decision. The solicitation package will be available on SAM.gov around February 27, 2025, with interested contractors required to be registered in the Central Contractor Registration database.
The contract will be a Firm Fixed Price procurement using NAICS code 813110 with a $13 million size standard and no specific set-aside designation. The base period of performance is six months from April 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025, with one potential 12-month option period from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026. The position requires 24 work hours per week, averaging four hours per day, six days per week, with on-call coverage. The contract includes sign-on and retention bonuses of $3,000 and requires a minimum 90% shift fill rate with no more than one personnel turnover per year. The contract is considered mission-essential due to limited availability of Catholic chaplains in the Army Chaplain Corps, with a preference for Spanish-speaking candidates. The primary point of contact for this opportunity is Clarence 'Craig' Cude, who can be reached at 254-553-8440 or clarence.c.cude.civ@health.mil.
