Tribal Providers PLLC

Tribal Providers PLLC, a Native American-owned, HUBZone-certified small business based in Sioux City, Iowa, provides temporary medical staffing—registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, and allied clinical personnel—to Indian Health Service facilities as a prime contractor under Buy Indian and Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor holds dual veteran-owned designations (Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business), is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, and qualifies as an Indian Economic Enterprise, giving it access to federal procurement vehicles reserved for Native American-owned firms.

Tribal Providers PLLC operates exclusively with a single federal customer: the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service, which accounts for all 26 awards and $114 million in combined potential value. This concentration reflects a core market—IHS relies on supplemental physician and nursing staffing across its service units and hospitals serving American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The vendor's concrete capability portfolio centers on locum tenens physician services (OB/GYNs, pediatricians, hospitalists, primary-care physicians), registered nurse and nurse practitioner placement, and certified medical assistant and licensed practical nurse support. Representative work includes a $3.95 million non-personal services contract awarded September 21, 2026, for two OB/GYN physicians at Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico (through March 20, 2029); a $2.15 million five-year definitive contract awarded September 25, 2025, for physician staffing and professional education support at Whiteriver Service Unit, Arizona; a $509,600 purchase order awarded September 21, 2026, for primary-care physician services at Four Corners Regional Health Center in Teec Nos Pos, Arizona; and multiple nursing staffing task orders across Red Lake, Cass Lake, and Blackfeet service units at hourly rates ranging from $119.00 to $199.00 per hour.

Tribal Providers holds two principal IDIQs with IHS. An $84.5 million indefinite-delivery contract awarded December 6, 2022, funds locum tenens physician services at Blackfeet Service Unit in Browning, Montana, with a Buy Indian set-aside extending through November 30, 2026; two task orders under this vehicle total $2.2 million in combined potential value. An $8 million single-award Total Small Business IDIQ awarded August 31, 2022, supports area-wide nurse services across Red Lake, Cass Lake, and Wewoka facilities through September 14, 2027, generating 10 delivery orders worth $808 thousand combined potential value. A third vehicle—a $9 million nonpersonal ambulatory healthcare services blanket purchase agreement with Fort Yuma and Hopi—was established November 2, 2026, reflecting ongoing capacity building in the IHS network.

Activity has accelerated in 2026, with nine awards in the past year following lower volumes in 2024–2025. Within the next twenty-four months, ten awards with combined potential value of $2.7 million face ultimate completion and recompete exposure. The vendor self-performs all contracted work with no subcontractors, delivering direct clinical staffing rather than building tiered supply chains. Service Contract Inventory data covering FY2024–FY2025 show SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $752 thousand across 2.6 FTEs over two years (FY2024: $472 thousand, 1.5 FTEs; FY2025: $280 thousand, 1.1 FTEs)—a partial slice of the vendor's federal services activity, excluding goods, micro-purchases, and non-federal work. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ranged from roughly $98.92/hr at the tenth percentile to $163.87/hr at the ninety-eth, with a median of $119.00/hr, reflecting the nurse and technician-level staffing base and higher-rate physician assignments layered across the portfolio.
