This notice, posted on February 21, 2025, announces the intent to award a 12-month contract for comprehensive anesthesia program management. The contract will be awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-3(a)(2)(i) for solicitation from a single source.

The primary objective of this sole source contract is to provide comprehensive anesthesia program oversight through a combination of telehealth, onsite chart reviews, and direct patient care. Contractors must maintain board-certified/eligible anesthesiologists and comply with CMS, Indian Health Service (IHS), HIPAA, and New Mexico state regulations. The contract requires professional liability insurance coverage of $583,000 per occurrence for telehealth services and $1,000,000 per occurrence for onsite care. Potential contractors have until 12:00 PM Mountain Standard Time on March 6, 2025, to submit a response demonstrating why competition would be advantageous to the government. If no affirmative written response is received by the deadline, the contract will be issued to the University of Utah without further notice.
