The Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC) is seeking sources to provide Internal Medicine Post Graduate Year (PGY) 2 (second year) and PGY 3 (third year) resident services at Naval Medical Center San Diego, CA. This acquisition requires resident services for the following schedule:

12 PGY 2 residents for inpatient medicine services for up to 120 weeks. In addition, 3 of these residents would also provide outpatient services in the continuity clinics for up to 132 days.

12 PGY-3 residents for inpatient medicine services for up to 96 weeks. In addition, 3 of these residents would also provide outpatient services in the continuity clinic for up to 240 days.

The estimated period of performance is 24 June 2016 through 22 June 2017 with no available option periods.

If capable sources are not identified through this notice, NMLC intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 to Scripps Green Hospital, La Jolla, CA, 92037, for Internal Medicine PGY 2 and 3 resident services.

In accordance with FAR 6.302-1, Scripps Green Hospital is the only vendor whose residents have the corporate knowledge pertaining to Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD).

Additionally, these residents are experienced in the treatment and disposition of active duty personnel.
