Added: Jan 29, 2013 2:17 pm Modified: May 08, 2013 2:07 pmTrack Changes

This is a Request For Proposals (RFP) for the Temporary Medical Staffing (TMS) program for the Air Force Medical Service (AFMS).

The Government's requirement is for a new personal service contract requirement consistent with DFARS 237.104(b)(ii)(A)(1) to fill temporary (less than 1 year) staffing gaps at 63 military treatment facilities (MTFs) with qualified clinical personnel (e.g., physicians and nurses) for the treatment of military health system (MHS) beneficiaries. While some of the required fills will be predictable and will have more than 30 days lead time, in some instances, required fills will be unpredictable and require rapid fill (the goal is within 30 days). Additionally, there may be instances where a quicker fill is needed and vendors may be asked to meet those requirements. The MTFs covered will include all Air Force CONUS, Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam locations. The Government anticipates establishing multiple Indefinite Quantity Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contracts to acquire the clinical direct patient care services.

The TMS program will be awarded as a 100% Small Business Set Aside, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity, Multiple Award Contracts.
