Who can bid
This opportunity is solicitation-only: only small businesses may submit bids. The NAICS code 621111 indicates the work aligns with physician office services, though the specific scope—whether physician-staffed, nurse practitioner, or broader clinical support—see the solicitation.
To qualify, your business must:
- Be small under NAICS 621111 ($8.0 million annual receipts threshold)
- Be registered in SAM.gov with active status
- Possess any state medical licenses required for South Dakota practice
- Hold applicable professional liability insurance; specific coverage requirements see the solicitation
Eligible entities include sole practitioners, group practices, or medical staffing firms structured as small businesses. If you are a physician-owned practice, verify your size status carefully if affiliated with larger health systems.
How to put together a competitive bid
Understand the service model. Job Corps medical services often involve part-time or intermittent coverage for a residential youth population. Determine whether the contract requires continuous staffing, scheduled clinic hours, or on-call availability—see the solicitation.
Assess your geographic reach. Nemo, South Dakota is in the Black Hills, approximately 15 miles west of Rapid City. Confirm your ability to recruit and retain licensed medical staff for this rural location or establish reliable local coverage.
Document your rural or tribal experience. Forest Service Job Corps centers serve diverse populations; prior federal healthcare contracts or experience with youth-serving agencies strengthens your proposal.
Prepare required registrations. Ensure SAM.gov, DUNS/UEI, and any SAM exclusions are resolved. Small business certification is self-represented but must be accurate.
Pricing considerations. Federal healthcare contracts typically require all-inclusive hourly or per-visit rates. The Forest Service may evaluate on lowest price technically acceptable or best value—see the solicitation for the specific evaluation method.
