Wapiti Medical Corporation

Wapiti Medical Corporation is a for-profit limited liability company that provides healthcare staffing services to federal government agencies. Through prime federal contract awards, Wapiti Medical has provided physician assistant, nurse practitioner, hospitalist physician, and other clinical staffing services in support of Indian Health Service (IHS) healthcare programs serving Native American communities in South Dakota.

The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service has issued numerous firm fixed price delivery orders to Wapiti Medical Corporation under various IHS contract vehicles to obtain temporary physician assistant, nurse practitioner, hospitalist physician, and other medical staffing services on a month-to-month basis. These services have been performed at IHS facilities in Rosebud and Rapid City, South Dakota to assist in providing healthcare access for tribal populations, especially in light of increased needs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Delivery orders were primarily issued without specific socioeconomic set aside designations. As prime contractor, Wapiti Medical Corporation has provided the requested clinical staffing directly at the IHS locations.

Wapiti Medical Corporation holds three indefinite delivery contracts with the Indian Health Service to supply physician assistant/nurse practitioner services, hospitalist physician services, and family practice provider services on an as-needed basis. The IHS has utilized these IDCs to award fixed price delivery orders rapidly procuring short-term medical staffing from Wapiti Medical to ensure continuity of care for American Indian communities when supplementing its own healthcare workforce. Through December 2021, over $2.5 million in task orders were issued to Wapiti Medical Corporation under one of these IDCs specifically for physician assistant and nurse practitioner staffing at the Rosebud Service Unit facility.
