Medical bridge III

The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has published a Special Notice titled "MEDICAL BRIDGE III" regarding healthcare services at border facilities. This notice pertains to CBP's requirement for healthcare practitioners to provide medical support at approximately 50 Medical Priority Facilities, Office of Field Operations Ports of Entry, and other forward-deployed locations throughout the United States. The services address medical and public health concerns for individuals in CBP custody, with enhanced medical provisions established along the southwest border. The notice was posted on October 6, 2025, with the same date listed as the due date. The opportunity falls under the NAICS code 561320 for Temporary Help Services and PSC code Q403 for Medical Evaluation/Screening services.

The Special Notice details CBP's intent to award a sole-source task order valued at $51,975,569.24 to Loyal Source Government Services, LLC for medical screening services under the VA Federal Supply Schedule. The contract includes a base period of one month beginning July 30, 2025, with nine additional one-month options available. Required services encompass maintaining 24/7 frontline medical services, providing physician oversight, conducting comprehensive health intake interviews for children, identifying individuals with elevated medical risks, and supporting infectious disease management through Electronic Medical Record documentation. CBP is pursuing this sole-source approach due to ongoing litigation from previous contract protests and has determined through market research that Loyal Source is uniquely positioned to meet immediate staffing requirements, possessing approximately 1,000 background-cleared medical personnel already familiar with CBP's specific medical protocols and operational directives.
