Unmc Physicians

Unmc Physicians, doing business as Business Service Center, is a non-profit healthcare provider affiliated with the University of Nebraska Medical Center that delivers specialized physician services exclusively as a prime contractor to the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (VISN 23), with no federal subcontract activity and no set-aside certifications. Based in Omaha, Nebraska, the organization operates across multiple medical specialties including orthopedic surgery, dermatology, otolaryngology (ENT), ophthalmology, gastroenterology, nephrology, hematology/oncology, neurology, and endocrinology, generating an award footprint of $126.7 million in combined potential value across 236 recent federal contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme: VISN 23 accounts for 166 of 184 awards in the active set (78% of total awards by count) and $112.8 million of $126.7 million combined potential value (89% of total potential value). This concentration reflects a sole-source, preferred-provider relationship with a single VA network. The remaining activity—14 awards from the Department of Veterans Affairs broadly, 2 from the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery ($23 thousand combined), and single awards from NASA and VISN 22—is negligible compared to the VISN 23 anchor. The vendor operates no parent-vehicle contracts (GWACs, agency-wide IDIQs, or BPAs); instead, it holds single-award indefinite delivery contracts directly with VISN 23 across each medical specialty. The five most-active vehicles—IDC 36C26318D0034 (6 task orders, $1.1 million), V636P3190 (5 task orders, $778 thousand), V636P3194 (5 task orders, $309 thousand), VA26312D0165 (5 task orders, $238 thousand), and VA263P0904 (4 task orders, $971 thousand)—are all VISN 23 vehicles.

Recent capability work centers on single-award indefinite delivery contracts and corresponding delivery orders covering physician services by specialty. Representative engagements include a $2.77 million single-award IDIQ for affiliate orthopedic physician services (award date July 1, 2026, completion June 30, 2028) under which a $1.38 million delivery order was issued the same day; a $3.27 million five-year IDIQ for nephrology physician services (award May 1, 2025, completion April 30, 2030) with $653 thousand in first-year funding; a $2.99 million IDIQ for dermatology services (award September 1, 2023, completion August 31, 2028) generating three delivery orders totaling over $1.7 million to date; and a $1.07 million IDIQ for ENT physician services (award February 1, 2024, completion July 31, 2026) supporting three delivery orders exceeding $1.6 million. Across the portfolio, UNMC Physicians structures awards as fixed-price with economic price adjustment, reflecting VISN 23's preference for cost-predictable medical staffing arrangements. All work is performed in Omaha, Nebraska, with no subcontractors identified in any recent award.

Activity has remained relatively flat year over year—four awards in 2022, seven in 2023, seven in 2024, seven in 2025, and ten in 2026—with nine awards (combined potential value $4.4 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Service Contract Inventory reporting captures a narrow slice of the vendor's federal work: SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $2.2 million in FY2023 across 3.3 FTEs and $2.1 million in FY2024 across 2.9 FTEs, representing physician labor delivered under sole-source indefinite delivery vehicles. On those SCI-captured prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates span a median of $284.32/hr, with senior physician labor reaching $632.89/hr at the 90th percentile and entry-level clinical work starting around $173.60/hr. The vendor self-performs all invoiced hours with zero subcontractor engagement. The SCI figures understate total contract value significantly: the $4.3 million in SCI-reportable invoicing over FY2023–FY2024 represents roughly 3.4% of the $126.7 million combined potential value across the full contract portfolio, because SCI captures only service contracts above $150,000 and excludes micro-purchases, individual task orders below threshold, and non-federal revenue. UNMC Physicians' federal contracting activity is confined entirely to VISN 23's specialized physician procurement, with no presence on government-wide acquisition vehicles, agency-wide contracts, or prime relationships outside the VA healthcare system. The organization competes as a sole-source, preferred provider on a fully open (non-set-aside) basis, reflecting its academic medical center affiliation and clinical standing rather than small-business certification.
