Mercy Hospital Springfield

Mercy Hospital Springfield, a non-profit healthcare organization based in Springfield, Missouri, operates as the sole prime contractor delivering comprehensive correctional healthcare to federal inmates under a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons Medical Center for Federal Prisoners Springfield, with no set-aside designation and a ceiling value of $83.4 million through March 2027. The hospital is a child entity of Mercy Health, a tax-exempt parent corporation headquartered in Chesterfield, Missouri.

Mercy Hospital Springfield's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in correctional healthcare delivery. The hospital provides inpatient and outpatient medical services, dialysis treatment, physician services, and telemedicine to federal inmates at the Springfield facility. Recent delivery orders span the full service spectrum: a $751,599 order in August 2026 for outside comprehensive medical services, a $65,000 order for 24-month dialysis services, and recurring monthly awards for inside medical services ranging from $30,000 to $32,500. The hospital receives recurring monthly delivery orders, typically three to four per month across three primary service lines (inside medical, outside medical, and dialysis services), reflecting steady operational demand throughout the federal correctional facility's inmate population.

Customer concentration is absolute and defining. The Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons Medical Center for Federal Prisoners Springfield accounts for 1,860 awards valued at $518.9 million—representing 97% of all awards by count and 96% of combined potential value in the source data. The remaining federal engagement is nominal: the Department of the Army Medical Command holds 24 awards ($16.6 million), with all other agencies carrying minimal or zero footprint. This extreme single-customer dependency means Mercy Hospital Springfield operates as the embedded healthcare provider for one correctional facility rather than as a diversified federal contractor.

The vendor holds primary reliance on the single-award indefinite delivery contract DJBP041400000035 (864 task orders, $82.2 million) and two additional older IDIQ vehicles, DJB41407025 (587 task orders, $55.8 million) and 15B41419D00000001 (306 task orders, $58 million). These three vehicles account for the vast majority of the hospital's federal delivery orders. All delivery orders are issued on a firm fixed-price basis with no small business set-asides, indicating selection based on demonstrated medical capability and established service relationship rather than competitive procurement.

Activity remains steady but shows a modest downward trend: 56 awards in 2024, 37 in 2025, and 32 through October 2026. The recompete cliff is minimal—only three awards valued at $595 thousand face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, suggesting the primary IDIQ vehicle and its task orders will sustain operations through the stated completion date of March 2027. At that point, a full recompete or renewal of the master contract with the Bureau of Prisons will be required.

The hospital also holds a secondary federal footprint as a sub-recipient of grants administered by the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services. Mercy Hospital Springfield serves as one of four vendors statewide providing arthritis services for adults throughout Missouri's designated regional arthritis center service areas under awards dated May 2022 and May 2026. This grant work is nominal in scale compared to the correctional healthcare prime contract work.

Mercy Hospital Springfield carries no meaningful subcontractor footprint. The hospital operates as the incumbent sole provider of medical services at the Springfield federal correctional facility, competing on established relationships, geographic proximity, and demonstrated capability to deliver specialized correctional healthcare rather than through competitive vehicles or teaming arrangements. The NAICS profile is 1,925 awards under General Medical and Surgical Hospitals (622110), with secondary codes for ambulance services and medical equipment reflecting the breadth of services delivered within the correctional healthcare mandate.
