Nurse Practitioner - Ute Mountain Ute Health Center - Towaoc, CO

The Department of Defense and Defense Health Agency buy health practitioner services under this code, primarily through two regional medical readiness commands (West and East) and Naval Medical Logistics Command. These buyers issue task orders and contracts for services like physical therapy, mental health counseling, and specialized medical support at military installations. Most awards go to firms without set-asides, though small business set-asides account for about 21 percent of awards on record.

A firm considering this market should know that the median award is $19,600, but the top 10 percent of awards reach into the millions. Only 893 distinct vendors have won since 2001, suggesting moderate competition despite 25,839 total awards. The West regional command dominates with over $952 million in awards, so geographic location and relationships with that buyer matter significantly. Small businesses have real opportunity here: SBA set-asides total 5,538 awards, and 8(a) firms have won 1,345 awards combined.

Watch for 206 contracts ending within the next 12 months worth $238.19 million in total value. These represent recompete opportunities and new requirement openings. Only 7 active notices are posted now, so most upcoming work will likely appear as new solicitations rather than amendments to existing contracts. Firms should monitor the West and East regional commands and Naval Medical Logistics Command for their specific requirement cycles.
