University Of Pittsburgh Physicians

University Of Pittsburgh Physicians, a non-profit healthcare subsidiary of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, delivers specialized surgical and clinical physician services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal contracts with no set-aside designations. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with minimal subcontractor engagement, performing substantially all work directly across multiple surgical specialties.

Customer concentration is extreme and unidirectional. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 accounts for 145 awards representing $212.6 million in combined potential value (87% of the vendor's federal portfolio by dollars), with an additional 65 awards from the broader Department of Veterans Affairs bringing total VA exposure to near-total portfolio concentration. The remaining customer base—the Department of Justice (civil and criminal), the National Institutes of Health, and other agencies—contributes only $32.6 million across 99 awards, a negligible share.

The vendor holds five active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with VISN 4, each running through 2031 or 2032 with collective potential value exceeding $64 million. The largest IDC is the $25.4 million affiliate urology services contract (ultimate completion date September 30, 2032), followed by the $11.9 million cardiac surgery physician services contract (December 31, 2031), the $22.5 million vascular surgery contract (April 2031), the $4.1 million gynecology services contract (October 2032), and the $1.1 million plastic surgery contract (May 2032). Delivery orders issued under these vehicles average $400 thousand to $2.4 million per task order, structured as fixed-price with economic price adjustment. Representative recent work includes a $1.58 million urology services delivery order awarded October 1, 2025 (completing September 30, 2026), a $1.19 million cardiac surgery delivery order awarded January 1, 2026 (December 31, 2026), a $989 thousand vascular surgery delivery order awarded January 1, 2026 (December 31, 2026), a $466 thousand gynecology delivery order awarded November 1, 2025 (October 31, 2026), and a $59 thousand thoracic surgery delivery order awarded April 1, 2026 (March 31, 2027).

Activity has declined materially year over year, from 14 awards in 2022 to four awards in 2026 through mid-September. Only seven awards totaling $3.2 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete exposure in the near term but also suggesting mature, stable indefinite-delivery vehicles with infrequent new task orders rather than active growth. The vendor also received a federal grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development for $237 thousand (ovarian tissue cryopreservation services, ultimate completion December 2027) and minor Department of Justice work (expert witness services, $2.35 thousand in 2023; civil rights support, $125 thousand).

On Service Contract Inventory-reported federal services contracts, the vendor invoiced $11.9 million across fiscal years 2022 through 2025 (FY2022: $3.3 million across 5.2 FTEs; FY2023: $2.7 million across 3.5 FTEs; FY2024: $2.9 million across 3.7 FTEs; FY2025: $2.9 million across 3.6 FTEs). Across these SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor paid no subcontractors (0% sub-hours share). Government-paid hourly rates on federal services contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $229.99/hr to a median of $346.97/hr and 90th percentile of $496.18/hr, reflecting the clinical and surgical specialization of the workforce. SCI captures only service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold and excludes the physician delivery-order volume that dominates the vendor's federal footprint.

The vendor competes without SBA certifications and holds no positions on government-wide acquisition contracts, BPAs, or schedule vehicles. All federal work is transacted through single-award VA regional contracts. The vendor's federal footprint is functionally a captive relationship with VISN 4, with indefinite-delivery vehicles structured to provide long-term stability but limited pipeline for expansion outside the veteran healthcare surgical-services market in western Pennsylvania and surrounding regions.
