The organization has been registered as a federal contractor since February 2008 and holds an active SAM.gov registration through March 25, 2026.

The organization delivers a comprehensive range of physician services including surgical specialties, laboratory testing, consultation services, and research support to support healthcare programs serving the veteran population across the upper Midwest.

Umphysicians has established an extensive federal contracting portfolio focused almost exclusively on supporting the Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (VISN 23), which serves Minneapolis, Minnesota and the surrounding region.

Additionally, Umphysicians provides laboratory testing services, including specialized laboratory testing and STAT referral laboratory testing with consultation capabilities. All contract awards have been issued without set-aside designations, indicating competitive award processes. The contract values range from modest delivery orders valued under $5,000 to significant definitive contracts valued in the millions, such as a $20.3 million cardiovascular and thoracic surgery services contract. Notable recent awards include a $238,937.88 six-month extension for neurosurgery on-call services (November 2025 to April 2026), a $705,367.28 colon and rectal surgeon services delivery order, and a $353,096.37 task order for fiscal year 2025 laboratory testing services.

The organization utilizes subcontractors, including Education & Training Resources LLC, to provide student physician services under blanket purchase orders issued between 2021 and 2024.

Umphysicians currently holds four indefinite delivery contracts with Veterans Integrated Service Network 23, reflecting its established relationship with the VA. The largest IDV is the $20.3 million Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Services contract, which extends through August 31, 2028, providing fixed-price services with economic price adjustment provisions for critical surgical support. A $2.41 million colon and rectal surgeon services IDV runs through April 30, 2025, with multiple delivery orders issued against it utilizing fixed-price with economic price adjustment pricing. The organization also holds a $2 million, five-year STAT referral laboratory testing IDV with a completion date of February 28, 2030, against which a $313,096.37 fiscal year 2025 task order has been issued.

A separate $1,094,523.38 orthopedic sports physician services IDV extends through February 28, 2027, with multiple delivery orders issued. All IDVs were awarded as single-award contracts without set-aside designations, demonstrating the VA's confidence in Umphysicians' capability to deliver specialized medical services. These indefinite delivery vehicles provide the VA with procurement flexibility to issue task orders and delivery orders as healthcare needs arise across VISN 23's service area.
