About the company
University of Kentucky, operating as UK Hospital and including the subsidiary St. Claire Medical Center, Inc., is a public land-grant research university and academic medical center based in Lexington, Kentucky, functioning as a prime contractor providing comprehensive inpatient and outpatient medical services, specialty physician services, clinical laboratory testing, and supporting healthcare infrastructure to federal agencies on a full-and-open, non-competitive basis with no small business set-aside eligibility. The institution competes exclusively as a prime contractor across 343 total federal awards spanning contracts, indefinite delivery vehicles, and grants, with zero subcontractor relationships in its federal portfolio.
UK Hospital's customer base concentrates almost entirely on two federal agencies. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Medical Center Lexington dominates the footprint, accounting for 203 awards worth $570.8 million in combined potential value (92% of all awards by dollar value). The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 anchors the secondary mission with 115 awards valued at $46 million combined potential, representing roughly 7% of total potential value. Four additional DOJ Bureau of Prisons facilities (Federal Correctional Institution Manchester, Federal Correctional Institution Ashland, United States Penitentiary Lee County, and other correctional institutions) together account for fewer than 30 awards and negligible dollar volume. This concentration—99% of awards by count and 100% of combined potential value across these five customer entities—reflects UK Hospital's role as the sole designated medical services provider to the Federal Medical Center Lexington and as a specialized healthcare partner to the VA's southeastern Kentucky network.
Work under the top five parent vehicles totals 213 task orders and $247.9 million in combined potential value. The two largest vehicles are single-award IDCs with the Bureau of Prisons: Indefinite Delivery Contract DJBP010900000043 (61 task orders, $106.7 million potential value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract 15B10918D00000001 (60 task orders, $106.6 million potential value). The VA's Indefinite Delivery Contract VA24916D30182 carries 56 task orders worth $13.9 million. A Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Bureau of Prisons (DJBP0109BPA16007) supports 36 task orders valued at $20.8 million. These vehicles structure recurring monthly or episodic purchase orders for comprehensive inmate medical care at the Federal Medical Center and delivery orders for specialty physician services and clinical support at VISN 9 facilities.
UK Hospital's service offering aligns with its academic medical center infrastructure. The top NAICS code is 622110 (General Medical and Surgical Hospitals), accounting for 224 awards; secondary NAICS includes 621511 (Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools) with 77 awards, reflecting the university's grant and research mission. Primary performance-based service codes center on Medical-Managed Healthcare (152 awards) and Medical-Other (75 awards), with Cardiothoracic Surgery (59 awards) capturing specialty physician engagement. Representative work includes recurring monthly comprehensive medical services contracts for inmate populations at the Federal Medical Center (on-site and telemedicine clinics, laboratory testing, pathology services, specialty medical treatments, and inmate healthcare), general surgery physician services ($2.39 million single-award IDIQ through June 2035 with the VA), clinical laboratory testing services ($595,704 IDIQ through June 2030 with VISN 9), neuromuscular physician services ($800,119 IDIQ through June 2029 with VISN 9), and autopsy and morgue support services ($67,640 IDIQ through September 2029 with VISN 9).
Recent activity shows modest volatility: the source records 21 awards in 2024, 17 in 2025, and 6 through September 2026 (reflecting a partial-year snapshot). Only two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $650 thousand, indicating minimal recompete urgency in the near term. The source does not provide SCI-reportable invoiced revenue figures or meaningful FTE trajectory data—SCI records show 0 dollars invoiced across FY2022–FY2025, likely reflecting the academic institution's non-standard labor cost accounting or exemption from SCI reporting for certain federal healthcare service contracts. The dataset carries 95 SCI records (94 as prime, 1 as subcontractor), with negligible FTE reporting (0.3 FTEs recorded in FY2024 across 33 prime and 1 sub record), suggesting SCI captures only a fraction of UK Hospital's actual federal services delivery.
The parent University of Kentucky holds a broad federal portfolio across education, research, agriculture extension, and grant administration beyond the hospital subsidiary's healthcare contracting focus. ST. Claire Medical Center, Inc., a named non-profit hospital subsidiary, does not appear separately in the contract award listing but likely operates under the UK Hospital corporate umbrella for certain regional healthcare delivery.
