Opportunity Overview
The Indian Health Service has an open requirement for Emergency Medicine Physician Services at Whiteriver Indian Health Service Hospital, Solicitation 75H70426R00007. The acquisition is for ad hoc emergency medicine physician personal services supporting patients of all ages.
Deadline and Submission
Offers are due September 18, 2026 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. IHS’s latest clarification resolves a conflicting September 22 date appearing elsewhere in the package and confirms that the September 18 deadline controls; the due date will not be extended. The solicitation requires submission of the administrative, technical, and compensation materials identified in the posted package.
Eligibility and Qualifications
The latest IHS clarification confirms this is a 100% Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-aside for an individual physician who will personally perform the services. Eligible single-member structures such as a sole proprietorship or single-member LLC may qualify if the individual physician satisfies the ISBEE requirements, but multi-person organizations may not submit a physician on the individual’s behalf. The physician must be a U.S. citizen, hold the required unrestricted medical license and credentials, and be board eligible or board certified in Emergency Medicine; IHS states that experience does not substitute for that board-eligibility or certification requirement.
Scope
The contractor will provide direct emergency and urgent care, trauma and minor procedures, consultation, EMS medical direction, inpatient care as needed, teaching, clinical documentation, and follow-up. Ad hoc shifts may include evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays.
Value
The accessible controlling-source record does not state a verified maximum contract value.
