Mercy Hospital Springfield

Mercy Hospital Springfield, a non-profit healthcare organization based in Springfield, Missouri, operates as a prime contractor delivering comprehensive correctional healthcare to the federal inmate population through a master indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons Medical Center for Federal Prisoners Springfield. The hospital competes on full-and-open basis (no set-aside designations) and is a child entity of Mercy Health, a tax-exempt parent organization headquartered in Chesterfield, Missouri.

Mercy Hospital Springfield's federal work concentrates almost entirely on inpatient care, outpatient services, dialysis treatment, physician services, and telemedicine delivery to federal inmates at the Springfield correctional facility. Representative contracts include a $751,000 delivery order for outside comprehensive medical services (September 2026), a $926,000 delivery order for the same services (July 2026), a $1.29 million delivery order for inpatient and outpatient services (July 2025), and recurring monthly awards for dialysis services ranging from $56,000 to $65,000. The hospital also holds a single-award master IDIQ valued at $83.4 million (ceiling, effective April 2026 through March 2027) that authorizes delivery of the full spectrum of correctional healthcare services to federal prisoners in the Springfield region.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons Medical Center for Federal Prisoners Springfield accounts for 1,853 of the hospital's 1,956 total prime awards (97% of recent activity) and $519 million of the $555.6 million combined potential value across all awards—representing 93% of the hospital's federal footprint by dollar magnitude. The Department of the Army Medical Command places 24 awards valued at $16.6 million; all remaining customer agencies are negligible. The top five parent vehicles—indefinite delivery contracts issued by the Bureau of Prisons for Springfield operations—carry 1,818 task orders (93% of the prime footprint) and $210 million in combined potential value. Mercy Hospital Springfield operates as the sole prime on these vehicles; no meaningful subcontract footprint is present in the source.

Activity has declined modestly: 53 awards in 2022, 44 in 2023, 56 in 2024, 37 in 2025, and 24 year-to-date in 2026. Only six awards valued at $2.6 million combined reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure relative to the overall portfolio size. The hospital also serves as a sub-recipient of a federal grant administered by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (funded by the Department of Health and Human Services) to provide arthritis services for adults across Missouri's regional arthritis center service areas, though this grant footprint is peripheral to the primary federal correctional healthcare mission.
