Upstate Emergency Medicine, Inc.

Upstate Emergency Medicine, Inc. is a non-profit emergency medicine staffing organization operating as a prime contractor to the Department of Veterans Affairs, supplying emergency department physicians to VA medical facilities in Central New York under full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations. The vendor is a child entity of SUNY Health Science Center at Syracuse and operates from Syracuse, New York.

Upstate Emergency Medicine's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated on VA emergency physician services. The organization has generated 28 prime awards (100% of recent awards) valued at $27.3 million in combined potential value since 2006, with $11.9 million obligated to date. Two customer agencies drive all activity: Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (VISN 2) accounts for 20 awards and $23.4 million in combined potential value, while Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (VISN 22) accounts for 5 awards and $2.5 million. These two networks represent 89% of awards by count and 95% of combined potential value, with VISN 2 anchoring the relationship. The top NAICS codes reflect the medical staffing profile — 17 awards fall under Offices of Physicians (except Mental Health Specialists) and 11 under Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools — with all 28 awards carrying the PSC code for Medical-Managed Healthcare.

Work is performed in Syracuse, New York. Upstate Emergency Medicine holds positions on five parent IDCs with the VA. The largest is Indefinite Delivery Contract VA52813D0129, under which seven task orders have been issued carrying $4.9 million in combined potential value. Other active IDCs include 36C24219D0008 (six task orders, $3.4 million), VA528P0747 (four task orders, $1.9 million), 36C24224D0044 (three task orders, $698 thousand), and VA528P0073A (three task orders, $1.4 million). Recent delivery orders include a $210,800.93 order issued August 1, 2026, by VISN 2 for emergency department physician services with educational affiliate support through July 31, 2027, a $156,889.53 order from August 1, 2025, covering the same service line through July 31, 2026, and a $147,488.53 order from VISN 22 covering February 1, 2024, through July 31, 2024. Activity is sparse in recent years — one award in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — and only $211 thousand in combined potential value reaches completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates as a prime only, with no subcontract activity in the source data.
